Steam review snapshots
I love all the management and newer maintenance mechanics too.The sound and visuals are also great and super immersive.also, with DLC's there's over 200 cities and 20 states to explore.I will warn if you are playing with friends with mods make sure everyone's mod order lines up with the host.Why it fits
Best for players who want strong atmosphere, exploration, management, and a game that can be better with friends. It offers tense simulation play, a strong atmosphere, and room for exploration and management. Indie Lantern also notes single-player and co-op features.
