But I think the truth needs to be spoken.

I’m really disappointed about the fact that the developers put time and effort into DLC (just more content) development while the core game still lacks a lot of basic features.  This is like building a skyscraper on a wooden foundation.

For example:

  • Terrain editing is still a hell. The  tools provided are minimal. They do not allow you to flatten the terrain nicely. They also refuse to work if too close to a building. How do I get rid of those bumps close to my rail road?
    .
  • The snapping feature to align tracks to eachother is great, but at the same time I have no free rotation control for station placement. Placing a station snapping to rail instead of road is also lacking. This makes it horrifyingly restrictive for one to build a realistic looking railroad network.
    .
  • The signal system in this game is very very basic and only allows you to make A-B connections with fixed platform picks. Why is there still no dynamic platform designation?
    .
  • Rail can be laid over road. But try to do that the other way around: welcome in Hell.
    .
  • The GUI is still terribly annoying (for example, go to menu top right, then press menu again, now, the confirm window appears at the complete other side of the screen. what kind of usability is this? Are these small things still not fixed/improved? Those things shouldn’t be that hard to fix. At least, not to take 2 years and counting.

This game had much potential but failed. And that is sad. It seems the makers only used their math skills on city growth. I wonder what they’re doing now?

I’m sorry but this frustration comes from 2 years of walking into a brick wall.
