Subway Builder

Game has potential, def not worth 40 dollars not even 30 on sale, if it went down to like 15 it would probably be worth it. doesn't run nearly as well as some other games, could use optimization and more options on cities for vanilla. could also use more stream-lined modding for the game.

♥♥♥♥ this game, wether tf made this is a huge ♥♥♥♥.

Have really enjoyed playing this so far, very relaxed and as far as subway building games go you wont find much better. Also the communication the developer have made to actively make the game better has been good and look forward to watching this game develop as it has so much potential. Some things that I hope they add to make the game better; -The ability to change track types in blueprint (once built) -Snap to tracks to allow building parallel tracks -More train types Pls add Glasgow ;)

For a transport geek, I enjoyed this game a lot, fun, realistic, overall 10/10

Subway Builder is the newest in hardcore transit tycoon games. Though difficult to start, it's got nuance in the different modes and how building them requires different styles of operation. Something that makes it stand apart from a game like NIMBY Rails is how modes can skirt around buildings via elevation or underground, with building heights and foundations being relevant, constraining your choices of best routes, rather than simply paving over everything with viaducts.

greatest game ever

It's closest equivalent is NIMBY Rails but they are quite different still. This is focused on city maps that are still quite large allowing for tight city networks as well as suburbian traffic. (The Paris map for instance extends about 150km outside the city limits in all directions). SB also isn't as deep when it comes to the infrastructure. Tracks are simple and your only worry is handling grades and depth to get around buildings and water however terrain is not in consideration. If you are more interested in the minute detail of track building with signaling, depots and the challenges that come with that NIMBY is more detailed and allows for building anywhere in the world but is also a little more esoteric. SB is a good simulator, looks nice, customisable color scheme, your traffic and route data is well presented, building is easy to learn and you can get started quite quickly. Things don't really break and the game tells you where bottlenecks are, and won't let you do things that won't work. I like the idea of the daily challenges but they need to be more fleshed out and i believe the scoring system is broken but it could be a fun way to play the game in different ways but it needs more specific tasks and a way to track your success more accurately. When i tried, your bank balance was the score and the top score within the time frame was simply your starting funds. This mode should instead track something like a day profits at the deadline, total earnings, or something specific like passengers carried on that day, maybe between two specified areas of the map or whatever.
