  7. I tried playing Sweet Transit, I would describe it as more of a Factorio clone with trains and a sprinkle of City buildings. It's very hard to learn and seems tedious. I returned before I played for 2 hours.

  8. Factorio team has been working on a massive update recently and yeah it’s not straightforwardly a train game, but railroad is a significant part of the gameplay. How is that related to 2024? Well in that new version they’re bringing massive amount of stuff to trains. Like 2nd floor railway bridges, huge amount of new automations and much more. Hoping that all enters release in 2024.

  9. Sweet Transit with its cool visual design so far has been a disappointment. I had so much hopes for it… let’s see if it gets better.
    Unrailed 1 is a very fun game. No wonder there’s a big hype for v2. I’m all for it!

  12. I've been replaying Railroad Tycoon 3 these last weeks and seeing this video makes me super salty. I need to RANT HARD.

    How on earth is it possible that a game released in facking 2003 still hasn't ever been surpassed?? All these game devs are all asleep at the wheel!

    1) The most gorgeous and realistic 3D rendered landscapes ever. Maps in RT3 are rendered from real world height vector maps, and the game came with a tool to snip any part of the world map you want. Want a France scenario? Ireland? Madagascar??? You have it, with all the perfectly callibrated mountain ranges down to the local level.

    2) The sheer pleasure of laying down tracks making curves through dozens of valleys avoiding steep inclines, while going from city to city. No stoopid arcade looking giant icons of cities 3 meters apart from each other and loopy looking, bridge abusing, legoland parodying nets of railtracks with cartoony graphics and characters screaming howdydo to your face. If you played a scenario from Boston to Buffalo, you made dozens of stations in dozens of cities in between. EXPANSES. SCALES. Meditate on the concept.

    3) The impressive economic simulator, supply-demand dynamics with gradient areas accross the map depending on the location of houses and industries. A complex yet balanced system of geoeconomic simulation i have yet to see in any other videogame out there.

    4) An inspiring simulation of personal finances, stock exchange, dividens, credit rating, etc. that is also impossible to see in any other similar videogame to my knowledge.

    5) A good amount of micro logistics but not too much to overwhelm and demoralize the non-autistic player. A bit simplified compared to RT2 but a RT4 sequel could fix this.

    WHY IS THERE NO CONTINUATION TO THIS? Why every single new train game insists on developing quirky angles and situations, of making it a city builder, or focusing on signalling systems to the expense of everything else, of making a low poly arcade fest for 9 year olds? Why no current game makes a serious 3D successor to RT3???? It's been 21 years already!!

    Btw, the soundtrack to RT3 is a precious compilation of instrumental country music that needs to by remembered more.

  14. Hey, Zakh! Have you ever played the Kingdom series (Classic, New Lands and Two Crowns)?
    I am currently playing it and I really enjoy it. It is a very creative and interesting take on the base/city-building genre with a gorgeous aesthetic.
    Would love to see your playthrough/review of it.

  15. Railroad Corporation had awful tracklaying. I'm not sure what to make of the demo footage. We see double track, switches on double track, and diamond crossovers, which weren't really a thing in the original game. But it's demo footage.

  19. There's a train game I'd like to put on your radar, Zakh: Century of Steam by Studio346. Its been in development for well over half a year now with a currently unknown release date, but they've had some showing off of what they've got so far on their YouTube channel. You also might be interested in checking out the work of Mark Huber, aka Hyce here on YouTube, who' got roped into helping Studio346 with this project, due in large part to his extensive steam locomotive/railroading experience.

  23. Oh wow, SRRD is like a 3D remake of a classic Flash game called Rails of War! That game was my CHILDHOOD, and one I loved, and still do, to death. This looks like a true successor to that game, with elements added that RoW didn't have itself. I think I'll definitely be checking it out when it's released!
