RAILGRADE

Many people see "TRAINS" and think of openTTD or Transport Fever 2. Honestly, I fall into this group as well. But as many reviews already stated, it has nothing to do with those games, except trains. You won't be sitting in one of your vehicles and see a beautiful world unfold. Most of the negative reviews stem from a misunderstanding of the concept, which is a shame. It is a puzzle game that requires you to reach certain goals on a timer. The faster you are, the higher your rank. It can be quite stressful, but the levels are extremely well made. You have an initial phase where the timer doesn't run and you can freely salvage. That's where you make your gameplan. As soon as the first train runs, it's GO-time! I won the S-rank by one second. I lost the S-rank by one second. Joy and misery go hand in hand. But it's one of those games, if I lose, my head starts spinning and looking for holes in the gameplan. And then I'll have to try again! Not many games give me this trigger. Very sat...

10/10 Railroad game. Absolutely love it. It hits the sweet spot between a railroad themed puzzle game (see Railbound) and a true railroad sim (see Railway Empire 1 and 2). I'm not a fan of Railbound because, like most puzzle games, there's a single "read my mind" answer, often not intuitive. I Do like the Railway Empire games, though often the levels are long multiday challenges. Railgrade gives you a lot a decisions to make in a short period of time, so you are constantly thinking and constructing strategically. There are one or a couple defined goals to pass each level. Levels are very sandboxy - can be solved in any number of ways with your own creative designs. It's likely your solution will look nothing like other player's. And if you are like me, you will turn off the timer, so you can build at your own pace and not stress. People that complain that there are no signals or other things are missing the point. Learn to construct solutions without these things. Again, it's not a ...

Always wanted to level up your autism but never knew how? Look no further!

OHHHH TRAINS!! my autism is at the highest peak right now

Writing this with about 50% of game completed. For reference, I play Factorio, Mindustry, Satisfactory, Train Valley amongst others. Overall, good game. It is not, as has been pointed out, a true railroad simulator. It is rather a puzzle game, more similar to train valley but with more depth, Some things that are lacking for me: - train mechanics are not as sophisticated compared with something like Factorio (switches have to be programmed, rather than trains themselves, AI is not very clever in routing the trains when the switches are set to auto mode, no signals) - no way to speed up the game. This would have been useful at the beginning of each map, when one must wait until some money rolls in to continue building - when more and more track and trains get built, it gets quite difficult to keep an eye on everything that is going on. One mistake and a badly routed train will take forever to pick up. There is a warning, for example, that tells you that train is not loading anything,...

Really good logistics game. Simple to learn, but difficult to master. Easily worth £15

Got this on sale for like 9 bucks, great little game. Very addicting. My autism is very pleased with it lol. If you get an hour of fun per dollar spent, then I think you got your moneys worth. ATM Ive put in 50 and am still going. Even at full price its not a bad deal at all

Love it! Railgrade really captures the old transport tycoon vibe with pure resource transportation management.

Really good train logistics game that tests your organisational skills to the max. I wouldn't consider it an automation game, since it's more about delivering and distributing items around the map. Contrary to some, I like the time mechanic. It's important to note that the timer only starts when the first train leaves a station, so you can take your time to plan your starting routes and stations before sending that first train. I've replayed some scenarios to try and get a better time - it's that good. It works great on the Steam Deck using reconfigured keyboard and mouse (will share soon). On sale right now, so highly recommend at this price point.

great game
