  • stability
    77 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “It runs great and is truly free to play.”

    • “The game is good to pass the time, but since the last update, it freezes after 5 minutes of playing, which gets annoying and makes me want to delete the game.”
  • monetization
    62 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the monetization aspect of the game is mixed; while many players appreciate the lack of intrusive ads and the option to play without making in-game purchases, some express frustration with the frequency of ads for microtransactions and the high cost of in-app purchases. Additionally, technical issues such as ad-related crashes and the unavailability of bonus ads have negatively impacted the experience for some users. Despite these concerns, several players find the game enjoyable and balanced, with minimal reliance on pay-to-win mechanics.

    • “Very very slow progress unless you're willing to spend tons of money on in-game purchases.”
    • “Microtransactions in a game that should be free is not good!”

  • gameplay
    57 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay in this game is generally described as addictive and enjoyable, with a variety of mechanics and customization options that enhance the experience. However, players have noted issues such as repetitive tasks, control refinement needs, and occasional technical problems like freezing and crashing. While the graphics and overall design are praised, some users feel that the gameplay can become tedious over time, especially for free-to-play players facing challenges in resource acquisition.

    • “Yes, there's more to it: buying buildings and locomotives and carriages and carts, and putting trains together as you please, but the primary gameplay loop is sending a train off for 5, 10, 20, 60 minutes at a time, even up to a few hours, a day or more.”
    • “Never ending challenges with awesome graphics and wonderful gameplay.”
    • “With its great gameplay style and variety, Trainstation is one of my favorite games, with the ability to customize your station from the city your train is in, to the certain train cars you want, it is absolutely fabulous.”
    • “The special offer trains are too frequent and interfere with gameplay.”
    • “Initially good but then after some time, the gameplay starts feeling repetitive and boring.”
    • “There is no comparison in what they showed in advertisement and in gameplay.”
  • story
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is primarily driven by a variety of quests and missions that keep players engaged, offering a mix of resource, money, and contract challenges. While many players appreciate the linear and fun nature of these missions, there are calls for a more structured story mode and improvements in mission mechanics, such as easier jewel collection and shorter completion times.

    • “The quests and contracts are achievable and fun!”
    • “Trying to do a challenge where I need to deliver a train (Mr. General) to Mrs. Wilma, but I can't acquire all the train cars and I can't complete the mission without them. So I guess I can't complete those contracts. Almost spent money on the game because I enjoy the ship game they have so much; this one seems slightly broken.”
    • “Could use a story mode and some multiplayer challenges or battles.”
    • “Just wish it gave the option to not publish the story every time I play.”
  • music
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players praising its uplifting qualities and stress-relieving effects, while others criticize it for being monotonous and occasionally overshadowed by distracting background sounds like trains and ambient noise.

  • grinding
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and often detracting from the overall enjoyment, with many noting that it feels more like a farming simulator. While the artwork and mechanics are appreciated, the excessive need to gather materials and send numerous trains without efficient controls can make the experience frustrating, especially for those unwilling to spend money on gems.
