The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.19. That was August 2026. It has been discounted 72 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 60 percent off, with about 5 weeks between sales.

On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Beholder: Conductor ($4.19, scores 86) beats it on value, while it beats Train Valley ($9.99, scores 73).

Players rate it 89 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 77 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 445 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 219 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 10 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 30.7 hours; clearing it takes 81, which is 2.6 times the campaign.

What players say

I keep thinking that I will stop playing this game, but instead I buy another DLC.

Decent entry in the series, but requires far too much multitasking even in the early game.
athompsoRecommendedafter 23hAug 2026Read on Steam
in an attempt to make the game difficult they really shot themselves in the foot. I lost a star for upgrading my trains. in level 7 I cant even start a mission because there isnt enough money to buy enough track. way to ruin a great game guys
