The value story

The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in January 2026. 71 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 33 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. $2.63 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.

On value it sits in the top 2 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Factorio ($35.00, scores 97) beats it on value, while it beats Rolling Line ($24.99, scores 58).

4 of the 354 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 80 percent of the 215 reviews written there were positive, against 94 percent overall, and those are 18 percent of everything written about it.

The drop-off

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

This would've been a negative review if i paid full price, but it was on a 75% discount. Trains are cool. PLEASE ADD COMMUNITY LEVELS teleporters would be- no wait we already have those it's called tunnels

Tracks is an amazing game, an absolute classic, I also hope that they might possibly add in steam workshop so then you can download like custom user created objects, maps etc. Thanks

Tracks is a calming game that reenacts your childhood wooden train track toys that I am sure a lot of people used to play quite a lot. Tracks offers a small campaign, that is extremely easy. Tracks offers sandbox mode, the most enticing feature when I first learned of it, and while there are many decorations and other stuff to create a unique town, the saving process is quite loose at times, having saved your build...
