N Route notes

Route notes

Longer pieces that sit beside the reviews. Read these first if you have not decided which line to board.

  1. N1How to pick your first transport tycoon

    Seven games is not many, but they differ more than their screenshots suggest. Four questions will narrow the choice to one or two.

  3. N3Keeping a real-time game in its lane
