    I can definitely see how this game could be a positive experience for some. If you like trains, I think this one is worth giving a try. But for the rest of us, this game is way too slow, unresponsive, slow, boring, and slow to be enjoyable. Did I mention it was slow? ‘Cause it is. It’s really slow.

    This game appears to have been developed for PC with mouse and menus system for PS4 added later. The PC uses the mouse to select from a menu bar at the top of screen where the the PS4 option requires using R2 then point to option then press X button. It does not seem to have context sometimes and in version 1.11 the L1 and L2 buttons stopped working.

Needs more work on menus to improve on PS4. Will watch for new versions and hope for improvements so that I can play without frustration of not being able to find features that are visible on PC version.… Expand

    If Railway Empire is a toy, it's too often like the one you unwrapped on Christmas morning only to realise you need adult supervision to get it working. [Apr 2018, p.95]

    Most importantly of all, you really can ride the trains, and the game is absolutely gorgeous. About the only thing that would have made the experience even better is if you could jump off the train and explore the stations and cities that wouldn’t be developing were it not for you. That aside, the game plays beautifully, is perfectly comfortable with a controller, is expansive, and is both enjoyable and illuminating. Everything that a good simulation game should be, really.

    Solid railway company game in the style of Ascaron's economic simulations. Doesn't reinvent the wheel, but runs well.
