Train Valley

Pros: pre-launch options, windowed mode available (although borderless windowed mode is default), charming soundtrack, tutorial available, mouse wheel can zoom in & out, trains can be paused & go in reverse Cons: no 1080p resolution for windowed mode, no advanced graphical options, user interface could be better, laying down tracks is super clunky, trains will automatically ship out after a set amount of time Overall, a charming & challenging indie puzzle game. I’ve spent at least 2 hours as of the writing of this review. The difficulty spike is significant after the first 30 minutes. Train Valley is hit or miss

It would be a better game if the puzzles weren't so heavily reliant on the creativity of bottleneck management after the first two or three stages. It's only a dollar so I might come back just to complete it without worrying about getting "3 stars". But having such a bottleneck on a stage that has the optional goal of calling FIVE trains early, which leads to trains backing up in the stations until one gets bumped out automatically because there's no way to know which train was first out of five different colored stations, should be a deal-breaker.

Decided to come back to this one after playing the remaster/sequel (Origins), and WOW, this game did not age well at all. I'm glad this was successful enough for the series to continue, however. SCORE: 6/10.

What can I say? It's a classic TV game and I'm loving it. After I complete this one, going to buy TV:Origins as well. If you love puzzles or solving tricky problems or just want to watch some trains running around the place making deliveries, this game is for you. There's no pressure to get 3 stamps on each level if you'd rather not. Levels are not locked if you don't get enough stamps and bs like that. It's a very well done game and even after all these years, still looks cute.

Interesting game, very addictive though. Nice challenges and different ways of approaching the maps. Fab game

Dreadful track laying control that refuses to lay tracks where you want to lay tracks. Undo command nowhere to be found, despite it's constant call from the farce mentioned above. No progress saving, not even on Quit. An embodiment of proud incompetence.

boom boom boom boom these trains they go kaboom

Hell yeah
