Transport Fever 2 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
I can’t think of a single thing that truly disappointed me about Transport Fever 2. It’s elegantly presented and understands that some efficiencies are required for the sake of playability – for example, in a game like A-Train if you’ve got two or more trains sharing a track you better be good with designing timetables, but with Transport Fever 2 the game automatically makes these calculations for you. At the same time at no stage does this game insult the intelligence, and nor does it let you off the hook if you make mistakes. Ultimately, as with any simulator, the core requirement is…
This sim successfully arrives at its destination, eventually, despite a few leaves on the line.
Transport Fever 2 is a meticulously designed logistics simulator which tasks you with the timely transportation of passengers and goods via trains, trucks, planes, and ships. There is a simple satisfaction in getting something where it needs to go as efficiently as possible, and that sense extends to the gameplay experience as a whole.
If you're new to the series, Transport Fever 2 is a great place to start. The campaign offers a gentle introduction to transportation logistics, while the late game guides you through managing modern cities. The new demand and production mechanics may annoy some more experienced players, who will also notice that this game isn't as much of a step forwards as Transport Fever 1 was over Train Fever, but fans will definitely find endless hours of replayabilty as they grow and master their transport empire.
I've always been a fan of simulation, management and strategy games. They're all somewhat similar to each other in some way and they give me that joy of controlling something and always thinking towards the future. They let me do some long-term thinking, building for the future and holding off competition, be that in business or military, as well as the usual resource management. Transport Fever 2 allows for some aspects of this but is lacking in one major area.
