mindless gameplay ok for eating time and braincells, nothing more. often fails to lag load trains when switching maps - must close/ relaunch app and suddenly they're all back. large selection of the tasks, especially event tasks, are not possible as trains are often not even unlocked yet - that's just rude. free play game wears thin after a couple weeks play. kinda turns pointless and bothersome instead of fun or relaxing.

I like trains and I thought this game would be fun as I always wanted a train set. But I'm disappointed as the game is frustrating and the instructions are very poor. I'm deleting the app as it is too confusing and wants me to join something but when I try it won't work.

This game is great and so addicting. One of the things it does really well is adding in the new events to keep the users interest. One area that I wish the game would focus on is making it a it more realistic with materials to deliver to locations. For example, why am I delivering 300 orders of livestock to a bridge repair? It would be more interesting to deliver realistic materials needed for specific jobs. Overall, great game!

It's an ok game. Most all jobs take an hour to do, which makes it really easy to put down for several days. All the events have become pay to win! At first, you could be competitive in the events without paying anything. Now it's basically impossible after the first few days of the events you are limited because jobs need events trains, and the only way to get them is to win or pay. With all the events requiring it's own trains and needing to upgrade the trains, I can't rate it better.

Game loop is fine. Rewards are a bit meh. You NEED to buy anything but you can get locked out of quests by not having the correct type and level of train. The random way you get your trains is very unhelpful and feels rigged to prevent you from getting what you need. Why I un-installed, far too often you have no active trips with plenty of trains available, but the pick up and quest locations won't show any available - you've got to constantly restart the game. Definitely needs some work.

Not really interesting. Boring once you get out of the first area (Britian) and into Germany. The trains are pre built, the tracks are pre laid. There is a city you can place buildings in but they don't do anything except add "people". There's no scheduling or coordination. It's another tap-and-wait game with trains. You can watch advertisements if you want to speed things up but otherwise expect to play it for a minute every hour while waiting.

Okay, the ads are getting ridiculous. While I appreciate the game not having invasive ads that randomly pop up mid-play like other apps, the length of them is starting to get out of hand. Even just a few months ago, the longest ad took 30 seconds max. Now they're taking 45 seconds to a minute, sometimes more if they're the 4-part interactive ones. I may start playing without watching a single ad.

Game is great and entertaining. Kind of addictive. The only complaint that I have is when you watch adds to get rewards the game tends to crash and close after it is finished and you don't get the reward. Have to start the game again and re watch the ads, especially when the add is from snapshat.

I love this game. At first I really didn't l Ike that every task takes an hour to complete, it was discouraging at the beggining. The game is mostly signing in. Clicking on a few things and going back to waiting. It'd be nice if deliveries had different time frames. But, as time went on and life catches up I realized that it's nice to have that time to come back to it. They have improved the challenges which I love and I think makes the game more entertaining.

This game could've been so good, the idea is there, but the predatory packs, long wait times, and lack of gems ruins it. All of the "you must have this rarity train to complete task" is annoying as well, because it forces you to buy stuff or you can't progress. Uninstalling, maybe I'll give it another go if things change.
