They are compared to Railroad Tycoon 2, which feels overpriced. Players note frequent bugs and limited content in recent reviews. It’s better to wait for lower prices and more updates before investing. Mashinky offers a more affordable option, though it’s still in early access.
Never played RT2 but recently purchased Mashinky on sale and thoroughly enjoyed it, completing all its content in just a weekend. Looking for more train-themed experiences, I bought Transport Fever and really liked it, spending a lot of time through the campaign and sandbox modes. After trying Transport Fever, I found it challenging to return to Mashinky. It's often compared to RT2, and I've been keeping an eye on Railway Empire for its upcoming release. Another standout is Factorio, which isn't just about trains but offers a substantial experience that improves over time, making it easy to spend hundreds of hours mastering.
