First off I learned about this game through a YouTube Channel Kerbo who got early access to it before it was available to purchase by the public!
I was really impressed with what was already available in this game and all the hard work that was being done constantly to improve it!
The level of detail going into this is off the scale in animations on the cars and engines alone, sound effects and added functional industries being added to make the game really interactive.
Hard to stop playing it is the best compliment I can add right now!
Now you are not laying your own track or making your own railroad here this is a pre-made real life railroad in the southern part of the USA that you will slowly open up over time with hard work and earned money delivering cars to industries, shunting cars, switching cars running passenger trains and delivering supplies to rebuild washed out bridges to open up new towns and areas of the map.
So be ready to run late year steam trains and early model diesel engines and roll up your sleves for some hard work!
Engine the work being done on this sim it is a work of art and check out Kerbo's Youtube channel for some insight on what to expect!
Thanks for reading my review and enjoy!

Bethesda has created another masterpiece!
Addictive is the single best word I can come up with for this game!
Open world, no scratch that, open universe game that has so many missions to side track you it isn't funny!
Worlds to find and explore, people and factions to meet and become a part of along with a main story line to help guide you!
As you build up skills you can work on space suits, weapons, your ship or ships! Do anything from Pirating to law enforcement and even fall in love and get married! Be a bit of bad or a bit of good and or maybe a lot of both?
Steal ships, earn them or buy them! Space and ground battles and lots of interesting POI's on dozens of planets! Recreate your looks in game or make someone you wish to look like or be like!
Anyway the possabilites are endless it seems and a lot of fun along the way so enjoy!

Okay now that the game is playable I have to admit it is very adictive and fun to play!
Love that it is 3rd person and there is a very wide variety of playable NPC's in the game to work with you can recruit into your own group as well as interact with in the game!

The Zombies are very interesting and a wide variety of them to deal with nothing is cut and dry in the game and with all the choices on how hard and easy you want the game play to be it can be very challenging to say the least!

All the NPC's that you work with can level up on many levels in many catagories over time! There is clothing to find where you can customize them as well.

All in all a well put together game that will keep you constantly busy and hard to decied when you should actually stop and go to bed! LOL

Unlike others like this in the past this is not a turn base game it is a real time tactical WWII Ship and Plane war game in the Pacific theater involving the taking and holding of Gudacanal where you can play either the USN or the IJN and yes you can change history with this game.

Carriers, Subs, destroyers, Battleships, Heavy and light cruisers, cargo ships, fighters, dive-bombers, torpedo bombers, heavy and light bombers of all types on both sides. Air battles, sea battles all real time.

Out plan and out think the AI take the Islands control the seas, Coral Sea, Soloman Sea, and Pacific.

Build up Airbases as well as sea ports to help in your offensive and defensive game play.

Some great Mods to use in your game as well from the community!

Enjoy

Ultimate sandbox space based game with a large modding community constantly making content for it!
Only thing holding you back is your imagination!

Planet to space to asteroids to new planets. Making your own ships and bases processing ores in the machinery you make to create to your hearts content!

With the mods available plenty of space bases and pirates to bother you and for you to bother or bring your friends along for the ride work together or against each other in multiplayer as well.

Play as easy as you want or as hard as you want from animals and spiders bugging you to eat drink and sleep mods where you need to make your own food and drink to servive as well as oxygen and create power sorces and shelter after you have been dropped all alone on some distant world!

Very relaxing simulator!
I haven't built models since I was a teenager and I can't say I miss the smell of the glue and getting light headed from it or the paints either to be honest!
But this hey I don't have to deal with any of that at all and it offers some incentives to actually do them in a virtual world!
Commision work for people virtual money to buy new and more art equipment and paints, brushes, files, sandpaper and the list goes on.
Plus trying to find your uncles old work when he did this as well and restoring the pieces to their former glory and putting them on display in your studio.
And hey you can buy models build and paint them and sell them on a virtual auction as well for some extra cash too!

Check out the video's on YouTube see what you think for yourself personally I think it's worth it for a change of pace.

Very fun game to play can create your own meal from simple to complex for the cooks to make just for starters!
The customers and employee's can easily make or brake your place unexpectedly and surprise you just as easily!
The campaine is fun to play and gets progressivlly harder to play and there is also a free form build your own mode as well.
Developers plan more in the future to come and asking for sugestions so that is a good thing. I personally can not wait till we get even more ingrediants to work with!

All I can say is have fun I am!

I never played or owned the first version of this game so I can not compare the two of them and not going to try.

There are some bugs that need to be worked out and they seem to be working on it little by little.

Visually this is a stunning game no doubt about it only a couple of things bug me how some of the dinosaurs clip into each other at times and appear to go through each other in animations for one but other than that it is amazing how all the interactions and basic go on with their life happens in the game.

Tempermental dinosaurs can be a real issue to say the least and can be a real pain in the behind keeping them happy especially with some spiecies so pay close attention to what is bothering them and who you put into a paddock with who or you will regret it big time! And watch your dinosaur leadership ranking and who is leader of the pack if they are not the strongest in the bunch fights will never stop until the true leader takes control which will give you headaches to no end in healing dinosaurs.

Making guests happy and feel secure is the key see and watch every single thing available to you to see guests opinions and statistics or your park will take a nose dive money wise and you will fail FAST!!

You MUST PLAY THE STORY LINES to unlock stuff for the Sandbox mode everything you unlock in the story play through gives you more in sandbox play so that is a bit of a pain this includes the Chaos play through and all dinosaurs you discover in digs and get viable genoms for. So keep that in mind.

Is it worth the $$ they want in my honest opinion at this moment no. I realize Universal and rights to things can be expensive but I think they could have invested more into the game to make it worth it to us as the player.

You are a micro manager and disaster controler as well as a layout specialist a pray that mother nature and the game dosn't toss the kitchen sink at you in the middle of building your dream park because there are no loans so plan right make sure you have money back up and your guests are safe or go bankrupt and start all over again from scratch.

One word of advice research your tail off to make and save money as best you can and always look for better scientists with special perks.

The rest is up to you inculding if you should buy it.

This is a Diamond in the ruff!

For an Alpha class Simulation / Game it's very playable and stable as well as a lot of fun if you love Rail Roads and Steam trains especially late 1800's class wood burning 3' narrow gauge.

Unlike most train simulators you do everything and I mean everything by hand from coupling, which is link and pin style as it was in those days, to handling your wood fuel and fire as well as steam pressure and water levels and so much more.

Track laying takes time and serious skill to master need to make track beds first to place them on and a lot of trial and error as well as do and redo over and over again making things look and work nice. But satisfying once your running a train down the line.

One map so far to use several industries to connect on it with challenging terain to cercumnavigate.

You can have friends join you and help you load and unload train cars do the switching of the lines or even stoke the fire of the engine while your running it and switch off with them and change places plus help each other work on laying track as well or several running engines, cars and freight on the lines at a time.

They keep working on it doing updates and seem to have a lot of plans in mind for the future.

Keep in mind it is in Alpha stage is all and give them time to work it all out while you enjoy what is up and running here and now because it is very enjoyable and playable.

This is a fun and well thought out game!
Your a Rookie prison Guard starting off given more and more duties and responsabilty's as time goes on from managing prison upgrades and handeling ferlows new prisoner intakes searching packages cells and so much more. As you rank up more areas of the prison open up to you in jobs which switch around all the time to keep it interesting. You can be an awesome guard or a crook through and through and even try and solve some mysteries as well as uncover corruption.

First person play but your shadow looms in the light and heavy foot steps as you build up your body!

Gain Prisoner and Guard respect alike and have fun!
Just forget asking for a raise you need to find your own way to make some extra pocket money! HINT HINT

Get it's well worth it and enjoy!
