Anyone familiar with Train World, a new railroad construction simulator?
Hi. I'm not a regular here but I wasn't sure where else to ask the question.
Have any of you tried Train World, released this July? It looks similar to Transport Tycoon, I suppose, but focuses entirely on trains and seems to have absolutely huge maps.
The Steam page doesn't offer a lot of details about the game though and the reviews are a little mixed. I thought I'd check to see whether the game has any fans here.
Thanks for any opinions.

I did a small series. In it I try to show the highs and lows of the game.

It's made by a single dev and I think he's trying to make the best game he can. The map sizes do vary. The issue with the maps is that they all look the same and although there are some nice areas in maps theres generally no reason to visit them. the graphics are basic and thats fine as that can be changed later. The gameplay is fine. In the series I played at normal level and found it very easy.
I cover lots of indie games and I think you generally won't see many reviews on these small games on Steam. Most are hard to find on Steam unless you really look. This game though does have a fair bit of traction on YT and I see people watching the videos quite often which for a small game is normally not seen so maybe that does mean it will survive. So many small games don't
Thanks, this is great!
While waiting to find out more about the game my resolve crumbled and I bought it already, so hopefully that will be one small bit of extra help for the dev. :)
Mashinky looks better.
