It's a good train sim game, a bit like Euro Truck Simulator on rails but it has some bugs. One bug is at certain points on the track it takes about a minute to load in the actual terrain and track objects so it brings your train to a complete halt until they have loaded in. The track scaling to real life and distances between signals can be a bit tight at times, with a red signal showing after just a few meters of a yellow signal. However there's a lot to like about the game and on discount it's definitely worth a play, just a shame about the few bugs and lack of development.

Early Access Review
Jumping in on early access Alpha 11 so not a finished highly polished game yet but there is plenty to like already and I know it's going to be good coming from the same devs that made Prison Architect. The ship systems and mechanics are already nicely done but I'd like to see the ship crew get some more personalisation ala PA, perhaps having a named captain and some officers that go along with the general crew would add more crew personalisation so they feel more than just ship full of worker drones.

The 3D map graphics are poor and lack clarity. Panning the map when zoomed in is difficult, not sure if it's supposed to be locked in place or it's just janky because sometimes it moves and sometimes not. Most annoyingly every player action is presented as a full screen popup and interacting with some of these popups to select and discard cards/tickets is confusing. Overall the UI/UX is pretty bad, elements are nicely themed visually but it's painful interacting with popups all the time.

I think a lot of the issues probably come from the game being made for mobile devices and playing on PC unfortunately suffers for it.

Classic Carrier Command from the 80's. The newer Carrier Command games are better by today's standards but the original game is still good and worth checking out if you can get it on sale for under a fiver. The text is easier to read if you play at 4:3 ratio but there is a launcher with various display and scaling settings. I see some other reviews mentioning lack of option to lower mouse sensitivity but there is an in-game option to lower mouse sensitivity aside from the sensitivity setting on the launcher. I lowered it to .75 or .5 sensitivity.

Got the game when it came out in early access and the devs have done a great job improving it since. I highly recommend it if you're into naval sims.

I really like the gameplay, it is quite unique compared to other strategy war games and has a strong focus on logistics as well as fighting. It is a bit tricky to understand fully how to play even after the tutorial missions but once you understand all the little nuances from repelling enemies to managing villages and resources it is a really good turn based strategy game.

I think with some minor improvements to the UI the game would really shine more and be a bit easier to play. Something as simple as separating unit types such as mortars in the FOB unit list might make managing units easier. Overall though I recommend the game, just don't panic if you go into negative political points, it is possible to swing things back when you get to grips with the various mechanics.
