It's a fun game, reminiscent of Transport Tycoon, but unlike that game (and other good titles like it), it's not very replayable. Although the maps are randomly generated, every playthrough feel very much the same. It's fun the first time, trying to find the balance and slowly winning out, but once you know how, the game is spoilt in a sense. Also, once you become sufficiently profitable, the challenge completely evaporates. You just buy out your competition, sell all their assets and are left with even more money than you had before. These are balance issues that could be fixed, but given that this is a 2019 game, that's unlikely to happen.
