Steam Revolution: The Age of Rail

Very good rail network building game. In particular, Factorio should learn from its free passage signal.

This game is a really good game, but there are crashes every so often

It just plain sucks. Lousy controls and very little content and no refund. Sucks

This game is awful. First of all this is a puzzle game despite it presenting itself as a management game. The way you build tracks makes no sense, why is there a difference between curved and straight tracks? Why can I not connect two straight tracks or two curved tracks? The controls and UI is annoying to use. Find any other game to play this is no fun. oh, and seriously what's with the AI portraits? Could the developer not find any free stock images to use instead.

In general a very cool Idea and I would really like to play it but it's very frustrating that the rails "need to be straight"? even though they are

This is a very engaging cross between a puzzle game and train management sim. Despite what other reviews say, the controls seemed very intuitive coming from OpenTTD. I am not a fan of the AI art and dialogue but it is only a small amount and not central to the game in any way. Hopefully the developer can find a better replacement for this in the future. If you're like me and don't always have time to play OpenTTD, this could be a great option. The levels are smaller and present a challenge of delivering a final product that goes through a complex supply chain. The fun comes from optimizing the throughput of your network without having to balance an economy--instead, the running cost of your system is used as your score for completing a level. Sort of like SpaceChem or other Zachtronics puzzle games. The game is built with this and mind and very easily allows you to scale up a service with literally one-click. In addition to the levels, there is an open world view that presents different challenges. I found it difficult to plot out the space for a high-throughput system, so instead I designed something with an extremely small footprint. It was quite simple to create a couple rail …
