How Railway Empire 2 got What's It Like on Track
12Over the past few weeks, a lot of new people have discovered What’s It Like? Thanks to the Switch 2 backwards compatibility series, and I just want to say welcome. The response has blown me away, and I’ve been doing my best to keep that momentum going with more performance breakdowns, wishlist videos, and the occasional deep dive. I actually held off making this video and post because I didn’t want to disrupt that flow, but this month marks What’s It Like?’s second birthday, and I wanted to take a moment to share something that’s a little more personal. It’s about the game that helped me get my foot in the door: Railway Empire 2. When the Switch version launched, I wasn’t in a position to cover it the way I wanted to. But what happened instead changed everything. This isn’t a performance analysis or a review. It’s the story of how one small opportunity turned into something much bigger, and how a game about trains helped me get this whole outlet on track.
