    This is a very good game. I generally prefer complex, simulation-focused management, city-builder and transportation games, but I enjoyed Minami Lane a lot.

    There are times when I am looking for something that is a bit more laid back and doesn’t require an initial ramp-up time investment.

    For a new run for Transport Fever 2, I usually spend about an hour analyzing the map and trying to come up with a high level development plan and then I need another 30 min to setup a base early game foundation.

    The payoff is that you get runs of ~100 hours and you get to develop insanely expansive (but efficient) logistics networks, citscapes and regional conglomoraitons. Some screenshots from the late game:

    But there are other times when I am looking for a simpler (but also satisfying) experience that still has some management elements and player strategy.
