What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
Holding it back
Reviews74% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
DRMMyTrainz account needed
Needs a second account on top of Steam, a small friction discount
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $3.99. That was December 2024. Its cuts run 80 percent off as a rule. There have been 32 in the 4 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre. On the same math Transport Fever ($29.99, scores 61) and Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019 ($39.99, scores 30) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

This site sampled 592 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written June 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 38 percent of the 119 reviews written there were positive, against 74 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

No data upstream: critic score (Metacritic), achievement curve (Steam global achievements).
