OxyRail

“Players quickly fall into a tedious loop of "repeating routes – replenishing oxygen – triggering random events." The game attempts to create tension through hypoxia, but due to its rough gameplay design, that tension turns into pure torment, ultimately leaving players with the disappointing impression that the game is neither fun nor replayable.”

“Players are left with a meaningless binary choice between "advancing the story quickly" and "keeping the character alive." Far from adding strategic depth, this design reduces the game to a mechanical exercise in numerical balancing.”

“Honestly, not worth the price. It has a weird gameplay element, which is oxygen required to survive, which makes no sense because, you know, trees. You have to keep topping up your oxygen or you die. Then you have to get off your train, if you can call it that, and gather resources. The gathering is painfully slow; it takes a second for your grab to recharge, which impedes the gameplay. The menus are a nightmare to navigate. You press Q to open the menu but not Q to exit; for that you need to hit Esc, why? The menus are a mess. There's no way to know if you've got enough resources to make something without opening the menu, navigating to the item, and clicking. Why not have a pinned item on my hotbar? Then when you step off the train a wolf comes and kicks your ass every single time. The only way to avoid them is to jump on the train and wait until they leave, which takes a hot minute. I can't even run them over with the train; they just phase through it. I didn't get very far mostly due to sheer boredom. This plays like an early alpha of a game, not a full price retail release. It needs optimisation, faster gathering, and better menus to make it at least playable. Not recommended.”
