I’d love a train simulator like this, but that’s for another article. This reminded me of playing with toy trains as a kid and always wanting a large set but never having the space for it. Zooming into the city to check out buildings is fun because you suddenly hear a city come alive.

If you are sensitive to framerate, the unlocked framerate here might be a turnoff as it fluctuates a fair bit when you zoom in and out and pan the camera. Performance is mostly good, but the frame rate is erratic. In some cases I was in awe at the details and how much I could get up close, but others had me immediately zooming out.

Thankfully the tutorial is detailed and there’s always a popup to help if you’re stuck.īuilding your city is a lot of fun but you need to keep a lot of things in mind. When you start out with just a blank slate more or less, even just moving around to place roads will be a learning experience. Well, outside of the fact that there’s no quick access to inspect (I couldn’t figure this out). Zooming happens with the triggers and after a little while, everything feels natural. You will be using the analog sticks and d pad a lot. I recommend just spending the first hour or so just getting used to the controls here. Some games get it right like Divinity: Original Sin while others don’t scale as well in the case of Wasteland 2.Ĭontrols are great for the most part.

In recent years, the likes of Wasteland, Divinity, Tropico, and even Diablo have made their way to both PS4 and Xbox One.
