Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But if you can overlook this point, this game is extremely fun to play as a sandbox transport sim.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I got it significantly cheaper, along with lots of expansions, but these are useless to me since twenty years of playing computer games, a PhD in mathematics and a great motivation to play precisely this game with its great setting and beautiful graphics are clearly not enough to learn who to operate it.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is exactly what you're expecting as well, with pleasing jingles and chimes over a mostly relaxed soundtrack.
