Transport fever isnt a city builder though. unless somethings changed...

its like transport tycoon / OpenTTD. you build logistics networks for goods services and passengers/commuters. and the cities grow as you help the local economy.

If it's so beloved, surely you could put the name in the article title

For anyone without time or interest to read the article: the game referred to (but not mentioned, for clickbait reasons) in the title is Transport Fever 3.

It's also not available yet with a planned release in 2026.

Thanks! My main turnoff of this cities is all the dlc.

It’s overwhelming and I don’t know what I need or would want and what I don’t. I also don’t want to play the game without the important dlc and feel like I’m playing a partial game.

So, I just skip out on it.

Thats my biggest gripe with Paradox's games. The game feels incomplete without the DLC, but it's so jankily built and integrated that even with it it still feels weird. Plus they put out a new one like every 3 months...

Yeah, Transport Fever is not a city building game. Its a transport game, like Transport Tycoon.

City Skylines has a great transport element to it but its ultimately a city builder.

Cities 2 has been an unmitigated disaster. The single biggest strength of the first game was its user generated assets easily accessed via steam workshop but cities 2 still has no official way of doing it even now. They seriously compromised and broke the game by trying to make something that works the same on PC and Consoles. Its been 18m and that still isn't fixed and they're still focused on trying to release for consoles rather than fix the single biggest fundamental flaw.

Transport Fever 3 is a game people are looking forward to, but not as a replacement for cities skylines.

Ironic as Cities In Motion was a transport game, and C:S is CiM 2.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Isn't Cities in Motion 2 Cities in Motion 2?

Y'all talking about timberborn?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No we're talking about urbek city builder

Does it have beavers?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

That's not Simcity.

I’ve played both transport fever 1 and 2 and I wouldn’t call them city builders. They are all about building transport routes.

Released in 2019, of the 22,000 user reviews posted for Transport Fever 2, 89% are positive. Now, Transport Fever 3 has just been confirmed.

Took me a long time to figure out why 2.89% is a lot

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

I don't think they fit the same niche. I played transport fever 2 and its transport tycoon with a coat of paint. Cities 2 is a completely different focus.

I really hope transport fever 3 focuses of more city design because i hate cities 2 so much and would love to see it fail.
