    Without going too far into discussing what was different from the predecessor and how it could be improved, here is a disappointing list for those who loved the first game:
    -Tracks are much more annoying to build, you have to set flags again and again to control the height of the tracks so as not to spend astronomical sums.

    - In-game time runs so slowly that I was only able to unlock ONE locomotive in 3 hours of play. (way too slow)
    - Train stations only have TWO building/expansion slots (burst dream of mega-terminal)
    - No innovations: Same locomotives, same map, etc. (What were they even thinking?)

    As a result, it is impossible to get rid of the impression that the game is somewhere between an expansion and DLC, which brings all sorts of small changes that made it unnecessary to develop another installment. [Issue#328]

    As a casual player, Railway Empire 2 can get incredibly overwhelming quickly with the number of different things to pay attention to, such as: resources, connecting lines, what the competition is doing, and budget. This is a strange contrast to the slow-moving nature of the game and the peaceful feeling that the theme and graphics provide. For anyone who is a fan of train simulators or management games, however, Railway Empire 2 is an enjoyable experience that can provide countless hours of entertainment.

    The wonders of building your own railway are back. Railway Empire 2 is beautiful and addictive, and while a full sequel should perhaps offer more, it’s great fun anyway.
