Cute game about driving trains

My Score: 7/10

I will recommend this game, but I will say that compared to other similar games it does feel more limited. The size of the map feels fine, but the size of the areas you visit are quite limited and there are only a small number of NPCs with quests, which are very quick and easy to do. I can't complain as the game is still very fun, but I was able to complete the main quest and all side quests after only 20 hours. The only thing left to do really is to use all the tokens I've accumulated and make an excellent looking train, as currently it is a bit of a mismatch of random furniture styles.

The train driving mechanism is fairly good and straight forward, I wouldn't want to change it. However once you've unlocked the main quests, there's not much left to do other than driving around taking the NPCs to random destinations for more token.

The train is the inventory system, which is fine as you get a cargo carriage. The only thing I would have liked better, is a way of easily sorting the items you get, as I tended to just dump stuff on the floor. There are shelves you can unlock, but they aren't always easy to find the item you are looking for.

As for the available items, there are items I'm still not sure what they were intended for. For example there are multiple vegetables and other items you can pick up, but there isn't to my knowledge a cooking system. There seems no point in taking the food ingredients and fish etc because they just end up getting dumped on the floor and never used in the game.
