Indoorlands vs SteamPower 1830
Indoorlands
Indoorlands is an indoor theme park simulation game where you can build your theme park from the ground up, decorate the place, customize each ride, and make as much money as you can by fulfilling your visitors’ needs. There’s also a research tree where you can unlock new ride and décor halls to build, thematic decor to place, and increase the number of visitors your park can support. Honestly, if you’ve played Parkitect before, Indoorlands will feel somewhat similar, albeit a simpler version of it, and indoors. Rides, for instance, are placed in specialized “ride halls” while décor can be placed either in ride halls or special décor halls.Now, despite currently being in early access, Indoorlands already has enough content for tens of hours of play, especially if you are simply obsessed over creating the best possible theme park with a high visitor approval rating. The game is also completely sandbox-based so you’re given free rein to create your park as you like. You can even take over the controls of a ride, have fun operating it, or even set your own ride program. However, that is not to say that the game’s a perfect early access title. It does have some hiccups and some room for improvement, especially when it comes to the depth of some of its features. Still, the game’s definitely worth its asking price even now and if you love theme park sims in general, you’ll definitely enjoy playing Indoorlands!
SteamPower 1830
SteamPower 1830 is a really great alternative game to play if you really like train-themed games like Rail Nation or TrainStation: Game on Rails.

Set up cities, tap into resource-rich locations, and build new tracks to connect them all to your ever-expanding railway network. The game also features a ton of beautifully and lovingly recreated locomotives from the Golden Age of steam trains (1830-1930) that you can buy and deploy in your network, to move people and goods from one location to another.The game world in SteamPower's 30 maps-strong single-player campaign, is completely configurable, allowing you to build and design your railways whichever way you like as well.
SteamPower 1830 is certainly a game that trains, railways and in essence, logistics enthusiasts will really enjoy playing. Who knows? You might have just found your calling as a railway magnate!
