Early Access Review
Strongly recommend this game for anyone interested in automation games or cellular biology, especially if the graphical style appeals.

It can be a little rough around the edges (it is in Early Access after all), but it's perfectly playable and an impressive effort for a small dev team.

I'd recommend following the advice to avoid Survival mode for your first play through, despite it being selected by default.

Honestly, this game is pretty good. It's like a mix of Transport Tycoon and Train Valley 2. If you go into it expecting that, I doubt you'll be too disappointed.

Like most people, I don't love that the trains ghost through each other, but it doesn't ruin the game for me. Besides, the devs have been listening to feedback on this, and are working on a separate mode with signals and crashes.

It saddens me to see so many negative reviews for this game. I bought it on sale, and I've played for a few hours without any problems. Certainly nothing game breaking. In fact, I'm liking it a lot more than I expected to given the negativity it has received. A lot of care and attention has clearly gone into this, and to me it's genuinely a faithful sequel to the original games.

If you're not convinced, I'd recommend downloading the free Pizza Creator first. It's a fair indication of the sort of quality to expect. Try not to be put off by the negative reviews as I was, I can assure you this is much better than the reviews imply.

Runs in a tiny window - No fullscreen option. Unplayable on a TV screen.

Riddled with bugs on release, but improving all the time with regular updates. Would seriously benefit from a first person walk around/zookeeper mode, though.

This is probably my favourite remake. Lots of nostalgia but still a great game on its own.

Very interesting and well-researched simulation of life on Mars. Micromanaging people can be a bit like herding cats, but fortunately it's not essential to enjoying the game.

This is the best city simulator out there, and the attention to detail is phenomenal. Everything from the believable build-up of traffic to the individual job of each citizen just lends a huge amount of realism to the game. There's a graph for just about everything, too.

Joked about the game having a Comic Sans level...
There is a Comic Sans level.
10/10
