I've (only?) got about 100 hours in it, I think it's pretty good. The main worry with the new one is that the devs are working with Paradox Interactive now, so everyone expects excessive monetisation and minimal bugfixes because that's what they do. Since the game isn't even out yet and they've just announced a deluxe edition, limited time collector's edition, official merchandise, loyalty discounts and preorder bonuses, I think I might pass on this one.

I've been enjoying it immensely. My main issue is the jank when placing double slip interchanges.
