I’ve played the game since release, and don’t feel the game is worth the value on the price tag.
The first 50ish years of building and planing are still very enjoyable.
I put in hours and hours in creating great looking junctions able to handle large volumes of trains, with the limitations the game offers. I have few complaints regarding that, the biggest would be to build multiple track bridges or the possibility to modify the rivers.
But then the wall of replacement/renew hits, and the years just wash down the drain, and before im done replacing, a upgrade is released. This is where i save and close.
The most positive thing is the community around the game. Huge applause for the people out there making all the mods that clearly is needed.
