Oh boy... just heard of Derail Valley and the sound of money flying from my wallet. Since it's early Access and not on sale I'll wait a month, but I wishlisted it.

I looooove Transport Fever 2 and many of the management and simulator games.

I had it on my wishlist for a couple of years and never saw it go on sale. I can now say it's well worth the price.

I've blown up multiple steam engines, flung myself into a valley after spending too much time reviewing my paperwork, crashed into a line of tankers after assuming a main line would be open for me (causing a chain reaction if explosions), and blown out my drivetrain from hauling too much ass down a steep hill and keeping the gearbox engaged. Great times.

The career building system is good, too. You start with a little diesel electric shunter, and can work your way up to the big boys, hauling long trains with dangerous freight. The routes are interesting and keep you on your toes, too.
