Train Life A Railway Simulator.

[NorthernWarrior]

Reviews on Steam seem to indicate it's similar to some of the iPad/Android train games, the Indian ones that seem to be cloned off each other. No real application of physics or railway operations. Maybe it will improve, until then Derail valley and Diesel Railcar are the best alternatives to the big sims.

Actually so far I like it. The Steam reviews appear to be positive from what I can see.

Going live for a bit before I call it the night.

Thanks

Good Sean, not a waste of money at least buddy.

Well worth the small price. Already purchased my 2nd unit and my 1st employee. Some of the complexities in the system behind the scenes are very interesting. Especially the process flows of cargo into goods etc.

Thanks

I'm starting to think though not as polished as ATS this is a much more enjoyable game! I've seen comments where this is unplayable and that is simply not true. Updates every Friday and they have a fairly large team from what I can see in the credits.

Last night I demonstrated on my stream what it looks like when you start building your roster and acquire new equipment. I have an engine right now with real good visibility and power as I passed off my old engine to the newst hire who is really good at long distances. The commodities are starting to move and I made it out of the refinery last night with 2 contacts of a total of 4 cars plus the 8 additional wagons for a train of heating oil and gasoline for markets that need it to level up their cities.

Lots of fun and I'm glad I took that look after first thinking this wasn't for me.

Thanks

Good you are enjoying it Sean, have to make up your own mind.

I never take notice of what anyone else thinks of anything.

Make my own mind up buddy.

If I wasn't so engrossed in Snowrunner, I might give it a try - maybe later on.

I may have to check out that Snowrunner you mention as well. I never heard of it except from your posts but I checked a video last night. I had ot uninstall Run8 to fit the last program. I'm running out of hard drive space for what I still like.

Thanks

Snowrunner is really good though after a while it can get a bit samey and frustrating. Also the areas don't always look like where they are supposed to portray. For example this is Wisconsin from the Season Pass, beautiful scenery but I doubt WI is that mountainous in reality.
