Train Fever was recently released and I haven't seen a thread on it yet so thought this would be a good idea so we can share our experiences etc. with it.

Have you got it? What are your thoughts on it? It seems good based on info from the developers website (http://www.train-fever.com/) although reviews on their forum see mixed.

I haven't got it either. A lot of people I've spoken too have said it feels very much like it is incomplete and should be in Early Access not a fully fledged release yet. A lot of them do enjoy it, but I personally don't see reason to buy it when I have something like Cities in Motion (2). I'll probably pick it up in a sale or bundle though.
Downloaded it for interest value today and spent about an hour playing it.
To me, progress feels very slow and nowhere near as satisfying as Transport Tycoon/OpenTTD. The graphics are quite nice, and the game can certainly be classed as "pretty", with the random terrain and town generation working quite well. A feature I don't really like is the terrain and track snapping, which don't always seem to work as intended - trying to create a triangular junction is difficult, and it tries to construct expensive embankments and viaducts where totally unnecessary.
I'll report back further once some patches are in place, and I can't offer it a wholehearted recommendation till some issues are fixed.
