National Transit

Autism therapy

Unfortunately, I can't give this game a neutral review, but I also can't recommend it right now. I really like the premise of the game and I think it has lots of potential. I honstly think I might love this game in the future, but right now I can't enjoy it, mainly for technical reasons. [list] [*]Firstly, I've been using Linux (Bazzite) as my main OS for over half a year now and unfortunately this game was the first one I couldn't immediately play with Proton enabled. I managed to get the game running by installing Microsoft Edge and WebView2 through Protontricks, but even after over 4 hours of tinkering with it and trying out different possible solutions, I wasn't able to solve a bug that made the game register every mouse-click at the wrong spot, which made playing the game and even clicking button very tedious. [*]On my Windows 11 partition on the same PC the game did work, but I still encountered the same performance issues I also encountered on Linux. For example when trying to build a road on a large size map between two cities (distance of a bit less than half a county between them) the game freezes for more than 25 seconds regularily before I get shown the possible routes…

I love it, though i have some trouble knowing how things work like i can't fix my ferry system

Great game in early stages! I can see the potential. Running it on Linux with Proton is a bit slow though :/

After about 4 hours of playing, I can confidently say that this game is a very interesting experience. Overall, I recommend it, especially considering its current price, but there are also several issues that prevent it from becoming truly great. The main reason I bought this game was because I enjoy transportation, infrastructure, city-building, and simulation games. National Transit fits that niche surprisingly well. Instead of simply managing a city, you are essentially responsible for developing an entire nation that initially has little to no infrastructure. You build roads, railways, ports, airports, public transport, and connect cities together while trying to improve the country’s economy. This concept is, in my opinion, one of the game’s strongest aspects. I also appreciate that the game attempts to simulate more than just money. Every city has statistics such as education, healthcare, GDP, GDP per capita, HDI, and other indicators that make the world feel more alive. Cities don’t simply exist as decoration; they appear to react to their policies, infrastructure, accessibility, and development. Whether every system is fully simulated or not, it creates the feeling that …

Boy, I can't even explain why I keep coming back to this one so much, it's not a particularly complex game...but it's absolutely got that old Civ "one more turn...." quality to it. Greatly enjoy the game as is, and look forward to it's continued development towards becoming a 10/10. I've seen the Dev's roadmap on this and it's unhinged in the best way. Can't wait!
