It's an ok game, but about half way through the first country, certain deliveries begin taking 30 minutes, then an hour. In the beginning, they took 30 seconds. I want a game I can play, not dispatch 3 or 4 trains and come back in an hour. Played it for about 4 days and deleted it. I liked it, but everything takes SO long, it's unplayable. Feels like the goal is to irritate you into buying gems to speed things up.

Look, I try do help people when I post. I give an honest post based on my experience only. People who post this way have helped me save time and money. I looked again at the categories, hence the repost! I was lured in by the graphics they show you. Nothing like that! Deception. No controls, graphics blow. It should not fall under simulation. Think of pink little ponies meets a coin collecting game. Very cartoon like. Collecting coins. NOT SIMULATION! Maybe good for very young kids! 🥱👎

New update is bad for the player. Disabled key features all for a new look that is harder to get information you want. How much do you need to build next item is not shown if your production line is full. During event competition, you can't see other peoples levels anymore. When upgrading builds you don't know how much you have, you just know you are short, without clicking on the plus symbol. The whole interface change did not make things any better. If anything it is harder to understand now.

Hate the new interface. It looks cartoony. The region page is much more difficult to navigate, needing to scroll multiple times to collect coins. The factories just look weird. Also the upgrade buildings page should show the amount of materials we have. Instead of opening a new window to show how many we have. The old interface was fine and better in the ways I just layed out. Please fix these issues or go back to the old interface. Thank You.

Really fun so far, couple hours in. It starts getting hard to progress, for free anyway. I'm not against paying, some games I spend a good amount on. I'm not there yet to commit a spend but still playing. Also some things are taking an hour or more to complete. Becoming too long in some cases. Nicholas pretzel here (I don't know him) has a great review and I'm going to go touch a train now top change camera how as he discovered.

Just updated and messed the game up. Now you have to scroll more, click more, and many of the icons are now too small to see what they are. The designers have no concept of color contrast putting a red x (I had to do max zoom in to see it) which is dark on a black background. For people like me with color problems the red x is invisible. Another problem, on the building queue when it is full, you can't find out what you need for your next build item so you can't start collecting things ahead.

I want to like this game a lot, because it's pretty and the concept is fun, but the nearly exponential increase in time commitment between each milestone makes it pointless. Basically, there's no content that doesn't take 5 hours or more a couple days in. The beginnings still nice, and it's not drowning in ads, so give it a go if you like "check every hour" type games

I guess I just expected too much of this game. It's the exact same game as every other game you can download on your phone, just the skins are trains this time. Log in, move your stuff, collect supplies, upgrade to the next planned upgrade that everybody else does, log in again later to repeat. Pay if you want it done faster. Idle time waster with little satisfactory value. You don't get to lay track or choose trains, there is no strategy or simulated economy. Just... Disappointing.

There's no strategy. Just push a button when the timer runs out to keep the game progress going. You're not building track. You're not managing drop offs and pick ups. You're not maintaining trains... Just pushing buttons. The event pass does cost $12 though for a 19 hour event it had. Absolutely not paying for that. Graphics are nice though, which is the only good thing about this game.

This game was at 4, but since the forced ads were introduced I rate it a 1 and I'm probably going to delete it. One of the things I loved most about this game was it didn't show you ads unless you asked for them. Having to wait through ads just because I haven't purchased anything recently ruins it. The trains are satisfyingly detailed and the gameplay is fun and challenging without being frustrating.

Very misleading ads for this game. I saw an ad that had completely different gameplay than what this game actually offers. In the ad, you had to tap and hold on the screen to move the train and let go to stop at stations to collect materials. The actual game is just a world overview and you tap things and dispatch trains to collect materials and deliver to other places, work long wait times. I'm sorry, but this was pretty disappointing. Guess I shouldn't trust any game ads anymore, haha!

Played this game on my Samsung tab for 3 years, now it won't load up. I've lost everything. It just says "your hardware does not support this application ". Tried to get ahold of service and it won't connect. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!! It was a nice game until the last update, then it started eating up my battery, even while charging. The program became so slow at times, and would even freeze. Not happy!!

Love the game. Recently started playing. Unfortunately cannot play offline. Fun concept. Steep prices, ads, and pay-to-win events are annoying but the game is still enjoyable. Some of the story chapters are tough because you are limited by R&G of what trains you unlock from the random packs. When they require a specific rarity or type and you can't be rewarded one from another story mission, sometimes there is a lot of waiting.

If you want to advance at a reasonable pace this isn't the game. Each level up gives you a few coins & jewels used to purchase increases, level ups and more. HOWEVER these purchases are costly in terms of coins and jewels so if you play without spending money it'll take you forever to do anything or watch lots of adds for minimal free things. The game entices the player to in-app purchase coins and jewels & keep purchasing more & more. Without coins & jewels some tasks last over an hour.

Very cool game. Ads only if you want (whoops....strike that!) Very annoying ads with three parts, 9 seconds each? I'm sure the reply will be "rising costs caused us to...", but it is what it is. Ads really slow down the game play and there is no getting used to the delays. Now it Trainstation 2 is as annoying to play as it is fun.

Better than Train Station 1, games still can't be played offline, however there is a little bit of a story at least even if it isn't very attentive. Game is super tedious and requires specific types of trains which have super low drop rate(for perspective, 5% chance legendary drop per 200 keys, you get 10-20 keys per mission and a mission takes multiple hours), this ontop of all trains being lost when you change worlds, made me drop the game as a whole, it's just not enjoyable as a F2P player.

I love trains and simulation games so Train Station 2 was an instant favorite. However, this game turned my excitement into frustration. The constant bombardment of ads makes it nearly impossible to enjoy the gameplay. It's like trying to navigate a crowded station with billboards blocking every view. Disappointing experience. Additionally, the excessive reliance on in-app purchases to fully enjoy the game feels like a blatant money-grab, detracting from the overall satisfaction of playing.

False advertising and very grindy. Have you seen the mobile ads for this? No, you can't get up that close to cool views of the trains. You can't zoom far enough into cities or stations. The game takes quite a while to get to other countries. Two stars because the interface is actually top notch. It makes it very easy to see progress and collect, and understand potential missions, and is very touch friendly. Too bad the rest doesn't live up to its own realism hype. It's an uninstall for me.

As I am playing through this game, I am noticing some fatal flaws like getting animations "New Area Unlocked,"and then you click on it, and it says "Unlocks at Level #" Don't put a big fancy animation saying something is unlocked when it is still locked. You do charge for in-game transactions... this issue could be looked at as false advertising. If the game claims something is unlocked, it should be unlocked.

Tournaments are rather boring and all the cool features don't stay with you other then the dozens of extra trains your stuck scrolling thru. Prizes for tournaments are a little unattainable unless you play often every day, especially as you level up. Overall good game to play alone if you don't mind not getting everything bonus-wise. Also can't stand that it takes 100 levels to get another country opened up. Makes it tedious and uninteresting.
