The value story

June 2023 is where it bottomed out, at $7.49. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 35 in the 10 years tracked, about 10 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 15 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 76 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Transport Fever 2 ($39.99, scores 79) beats it on value, while it beats Snowtopia: Ski Resort Builder ($6.24, scores 9).

6 of the 627 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 36 percent of the 357 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.

22.5 hours to finish it, 50 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.2 times the campaign.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

This is a great Airport management sim, made better with mod support. I keep coming back and to it and enjoy it as a break from the stress of other games I am playing.

The updates are coming. Don't let the detractors fool you. Though its been some time the developers are still active at work on this game. They are most active on discord rather than the steam page which isn't my favorite way to stay up to date about a game. That being said the game is still very playable. Very few bugs and runs great on older and newer PCs. One of a very small list of games I play time and time...

Abandoned game. Was fantastic but becomes unplayable in mid-late game. Unfortunately dev's did not keep to their word
