User Reviews
super solid game, the only complaint i have is even with the game speed on slow (30 minutes) the seem short, but its just because youre having so much fun that it surprises you when its over
its so much fun & its quick
Tutorials and campaigns are easy to understand and well structured.
Great gameplay.
Keep up the good work!
It is engaging and I look forward to what comes next but right now really Rail Estate needs some more depth to feel complete and more playable in the long term, that being said, I have 4 hours in and plan to keep on playing as I am already kinda hooked.
Perhaps some information on other companies, maybe a quarterly or annual finance report on the other competitors as well as some mechanics to do more with the routes such buy, sell, or trade them. The ability to borrow capital and manage bankruptcy could also add some legs. and an endless mode should be added as sometimes I wanna work thought the thoughts I had before the victor was determined.
To close I like Rail Estate right now and expect to keep liking it for at least the next few hours, that said a few updates could add a lot to a fun variation on the "train game" and worth the price right now.
