Railway Empire successfully fills the void left by Railroad Tycoon 15 years ago, managing to offer a very playable experience on console too. Definitely one of the best sim/management games around, with lots of content and a captivating gameplay.

Railway Empire comes with a steep learning curve and can often overburden the player with a mammoth selection of tasks. Perseverance is key, because underneath this complexity rests a thoroughly enjoyable experience that’s equally as rewarding as it is satisfying. The game remains in-depth, disparate, and competitive throughout the entirety of play.

Fans of tycoon games and those who love the railway sector have an essential appointment with Railway Empire, a highly recommended title with a huge amount of content.

This game will only be of true interest to sim fans – railway sim fans in particular. It is maybe too expensive for the newcomer to take a punt on, but should it hit a sale, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it.

Railway Empire offers a challenge to all lovers of strategy and a delightful experience for those who are fascinated by the world of trains and its fantastic history.

A good game which should appeal to newcomers more than seasoned veterans of the genre.

Railway Empire is a game that has a lot of promise, plenty of substance, and can be enjoyable to those who have 20ft train sets in their basements. However, most will find this game poorly designed, easily finished, and a tedious use of their time. Suddenly doing laundry sounds like a good idea.
