Dibujaron 最近的评测

A strong improvement on the original, which I adore. A lot of annoyances from the original have been improved. For example, the fact that roads come with power lines and water pipes is huge. Road building is much more intuitive and mostly just does what I want it to. I love the larger scale of everything; it feels less toylike. The ability to add upgrades to things like cemeteries allows them to grow to fill the available space instead of being awkward squares. The tutorial is smooth and well-designed.

Cons: performance is questionable (even the main loading screen lags badly, lmao). Lighting is a bit weird.

TL;DR: On the whole this game is pleasant and addictive, and it's very close to something incredible. However, the lategame is lacking, in particular the railroad system. Just a few changes would make this game so awesome but it's not there yet.

Pros:
- The building and road system is novel and interesting. I enjoyed trying to find ways to fit buildings together in compact ways. It's like a puzzle.
- The progression is logical and I enjoyed the industry chains. Everything scaled nicely and I enjoyed the challenges.
- The robots are very cute and I love the premise.

Cons:
- The territory/tower system is very awkward. The towers have very arbitrary distance limitations, so they can't be too close together or too far away. This makes it very difficult to relocate a tower that is in the way of new construction. Destroying a tower immediately leads to all buildings in its radius being ruined.
- The train system is not good. Unlike some other reviewers, I actually like that it requires forward planning to use effectively; you have to intentionally leave space for the tracks in the early game. However, the following things ultimately led to me stopping playing:
- No track switches!! This means that trains can only run point-to-point or in loops. The boats don't have this limitation, but trains do and it's awful. This one feature would make trains so much more effective.
- Arbitrary limit of 5 trains per station. Why???
- Roads can't cross side-by-side train tracks, so you can't do a double-track mainline.
- No way to do bigger or faster stations. Larger boat harbors exist but there's no train equivalent.
- In general the boat and train systems feel like they follow different rules. Boats have to be built, but trains spawn for free.
- When reversing, the engines flip around, but they still push the cars. Seems like if you're going to do magic train-flipping like OpenTTD you should flip the whole thing. If you're going for realism, the locomotive should just back up.
- Something about deleting train stations, track, and the track in front of train stations causes the game to hang forever.

I would love to try this game again once some of this is fixed. It's so close to being truly awesome!
