Trains VR Reviews

Toy Story vibes here! At some levels, collecting 3 stars is quite a challenge.

Super casual puzzle game with a nice VR integration. If you loved trains as a child there is an added sentiment bonus on top of that.

The very first VR game I bought so while I don't have a lot to compare against this one is certainly fun! The puzzels start easy but they eventually ramp up and get mindbending. But most importantly: trains! I love trains and always wanted a train set like that. Controls are clunky at times but I have notjhing to compare this with yet, might come back later to add more info.

As others have said, the game is promising but fails to deliver in several areas. It severely needs a UX pass and fails to properly utilize VR in the way you interact with the world. It's a fairly basic puzzle game that has been done better in other games such as Trainyard on iOS. If the developer redoes the interactions ingame I could see this being a neat game, but right now it's just not really there.

Love this feeling that actually you can move around the table (or rotate the table to be more precise). Just imagine that you have this game with AR support and you can adjust your table in living room to a railroad heaven.

Train lovers will be satisfied. A typical puzzlegame with a gear changing, but extremely interesting looking at the table using VR. I Recommend this

Nothing more than a basic puzzle game. Really bad neck strain from looking down all the time. Horrible glitch where the stars don't pick up if you are zoomed too far in. The board seems to migrate out of the play area. Controls are awkward and occasionally unresponsive. Just a poo game all round

I have mixed feelings about this game. Although I liked this simple puzzle game at first, I became aware of the less optimised controls (I used a Steam VR index). There were no real good explanation on how to rotate the table (Had to figure it out myself). Ofcourse if you are playing in a bigger surrounding, you could walk around. But for those who are in a small surrounding, a small explanation on how the basic movements are, isn't asked too much. But still, there is no point in walking around as it doesn't offer you any "more" insight on how to fix the puzzle. For some reason, my controllers didn't feel optimised, i had to click multiple times on the building spot, and on moments when I wanted to build a track, it destroyed it instead. All the controls are easy to understand, the controllers however managed to change all my instructions. So not sure if it's the game or the controllers that weren't in "sync". The game itself is presenting simple train puzzles, which are quite fun at start, and more challenging later. Graphics aren't that bad, and the little animations on the animals are quite entertaining. Soundtrack is quite lacking. For a game like this, a more and longer soundtrack would have been more nicer. I would have loved this game a lot more if the controls were more optimised for Steam Index. Therefor I can not really recommend this game if you own a Steam Index. But i'm sure if you are into puzzling and you do have a big place to play VR in, this is quite a fun little gem of a game. I give this game a 6.5/10 at best. I did idled the game for the VR train item.

Can only move physically in the real world to move in-game. Requires a large open space to play. This makes the game unplayable for me. Please add movement in the game. The movement options that are there aren't very responsive. E.g. Moving the table up or down has a 1-2 second delay after pulling the trigger.

Looked like a promising game on paper, but once you get in, you realize how little there is. You get the opprotunity to construct tracks for the trains to drive upon while collecting stars. Thats about it. You can go inside the train but while in VR, you have to aim a cursor at the horn and the speed of the train instead of using your actual hand. The way you select a level is the same way, by aiming and hoping you are pointing to it. There is no walking around the table so when you get a level that is hard to see, you have to try to adjust yourself to be able to point to it. The controls are barely explained to where I didn't even know there was a settings menu until I was 8 levels in. I know I only played this game for 15 minutes, but I don't see any enjoyment coming from this game in the long run, just wonky VR controls.
