Transport Fever received "fairly positive" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic. [5]
The game scores an overall 7 points from TheSixthAxis, which suggests the game "great attention to detail", and praises the campaign mode is a good new content to enjoy. However, the cluttered UI system, inflexible roads and tracks placements and occasional bug would likely to make players lose their interests. [9]
Sergio Brinkhuis of Hooked Gamers writes that in comparison to its predecessor Train Fever , the game improved in almost every term of aspects. However, time progression in the game is a bit off. He also criticises the time system that "travel time versus distance is completely out of whack and a day in the game lasts mere seconds." [10]
The highest score among the thirteen reviews comes from GameStar. Benjamin Danneberg praises that the game offers better cargo systems and good new transports, but the controls are still flawed. [7]
