Remember the ( good ) old Airline Tycoon Deluxe?

Well, here it is more about the airport management rather than the airline management, but I find both of these games to have a similar and engaging gameplay.

This game is excellent. The developers are clearly very much involved with the community and while they listen for feedback, they're very positive in order to fix or improve certain areas of the game. I saw this happening even recently.

Let me just say that I do look at Steam reviews before getting something new. I saw a lot of negative remarks in terms of sounds, I guess that must have been from older versions of the game because honestly at the moment, the in-game sounds is really good! Well, in my opinion at least. :)

The game offers a lot of micromanagement, but you'll learn it quickly thanks to the tutorials provided and by experimenting on your own. The game UI is really easy to understand. Kudos for that search tool that allows to search for objects to build or to search for tools. It is really handy!

There's a huge variety of aircraft and a couple of fictional airlines to play with, but you can also get mods and even have real airlines! The graphics are really eye-candy even for a 2D game.

If I had to point out anything less positive, those are just things which I strongly believe that devs will eventually fix or add at a later stage of the game. In my opinion, the positive aspects outweigh any negatives. One thing that does bother me a bit is how the aircraft move around the airport, especially the departure from gates - looking on the bright side, it is kinda funny to see at work, especially the tokyo drift departures. Again, I think this is something that will eventually get fixed in the future.

For a game like this, I would also love if we had the possibility to play in multiplayer with other airports.

I'm having a lot of fun with this game, I love how I have got figure out the best way to make my airport the most efficient as possible.

I give it 10 / 10, highly recommend on getting it.

... now back to airline management. Would be nice if you devs would consider on doing such a thing!
