The simulator genre is a very interesting and complicated place. Taking the scene from the usual gaming motifs and putting it squarely into reality, these games create incredibly complex and often realistic worlds that focus on some minute aspect, such as farms, zoos, or, as we’re about to talk about at length, trains and the transport industry. Starting you off in 1850, Train Fever focuses on the building of a transit empire, kicking off with steam engines, horse-drawn buggies, and trams as you seek to carve out your legacy among the rails. It is not an easy game, but it’s not as imposing or difficult as some of the other sims I’ve dabbled in over the years. Still, there’s an inherent toughness to getting a foot on the ground to begin, so I’ll sprinkle some of my tips for beginning your journey to master of the railways throughout this review.
From GameWatcher: "There is something very satisfying about building trains, railways and creating an infrastructure that flows smoothly. Train simulation games tend to be plenty of fun but sometimes as a player, you just want to sit back and build without having to worry about the financial side of the simulation, having the freedom to just build can make a game a fun relaxing experience."
Developer Urban have released a free DLC pack for their locomotive railroad baron simulator Train Fever.
