Sweet Transit is Transport Tycoon meets Factorio, and it's out this year
The PC has a wide range of fantastic games, but something it always needs more of are fun, relaxing titles to enjoy but not get too stressed over - or an update of '90s classic Transport Tycoon mixed with a little bit of Factorio, which is what new title Sweet Transit is all about.
Transport Tycoon released in 1994, the same year that the XCOM series began - but unlike that classic strategy series, Transport Tycoon never got a revival despite original creator Chris Sawyer's attempt at a sequel with Locomotion and the original being well-remembered even today as a more chill alternative to SimCity.
Now ex-Factorio developer and 3D artist Ernestas Norvaišas has teamed up with publisher Team 17 to create Sweet Transit, which seems to be a spiritual successor to Transport Tycoon. The game's described as a "cosy train-driven city builder" - not enough games are called "cosy" these days - "where the railway is king and trains are the sole means of transportation and expansion".
