Railroads Online

Terrible interface and UI. Everything seems to be done first person and the game is just not set up well for it. Tried to get a refund, failed. Just like this game failed my expectations. Awful.

Janky but fun. The track laying is the most enjoyable part. Running the trains is pretty basic and not realistic.

This game as gotten worse over time. The multiplayer is very buggy. Also now i can't even run the game. Beside those bug, the game is not very engaging and can lack way to motivate player to continue. And the placement of the rail - WHICH IS 90% of the begining of the gameply - is absolutly horible

This is a very conditional Yes to if "I suggest this product". I have been part of the Beta since 2021 and watched this game go through its growing pains up until release. Here is my opinion on the game's condition with over 660+ hours logged: Pros: - It's an Online sandbox game where you can layout track, industries, props, and trains. - Very good graphics, high fidelity models, weather effects, etc with the Unreal Engine 5 - Variety of Maps to play on with different terrain and biomes - The UI and HUD are easy to use and are intuitive for new players - Multiplayer sessions can be Public or Private with granular permissions and controls for the session - Track building has been made easier with the introduction of Splines and grid snapping - Adding decorations/building made easier with the new selection UI Cons: - While in Multiplayer sometimes the engine sounds and whistles cannot be heard by other players - Longer consists of about 20+ cars have a larger chance of derailing randomly - Locomotives and Rollingstock sometimes get physic-locked when stopped. Requires rocking the engine back and forth or applying/releasing the brakes to unstick - Laying 90° crossovers or junctions can lead to random derailments and need to relayed - Non-host players in Multiplayer no longer gain exp for completing tasks. Only money is transferred to the Host of working for their Company. - Trees/rocks/cacti etc have weird hit boxes when trying to cut them down - Adding trees, animals, and rocks locked by DLC. Should have been part of the core game. Things I'd like to see: - Mod support. Many people, including myself, would love to see this added - Able to place Spline Tunnels, Turntables with actual wells that go into the ground, and grade/level crossing as a track type (ballast/wood) - Option to adjust Prop height If you are new to the game and want to play with friends, you will find this game fun in the beginning. To start out, you will be building track out to the placed industries and running locomotives to build up exp and money. There is an option to place prebuilt tracks on the map and go straight into driving trains if you fancy that instead. This is where the "conditional yes" comes into play; end goal of the session. Because this is a Sandbox game, the end goal can be anything you want it to be, whether you want to just drive trains with big consists or make a big layout. But, gameplay wise it will be to complete the final tier of resource gathering, like Oil Barrels, Gold Bars, etc, and deliver it to the Depot for a massive payout. Once this is done, there is nothing else to achieve past this and the game can get a bit boring and repetitive if this is the only thing you are doing. The other issue that can kill your railroading buzz would be some of the bugs and physics issues that occurring during gameplay, most notably 20+ car trains derailing and needing to rock the locomotive back and forth to unstick while stopped, like as if a piston was stuck at dead-center all the time. So, who would I recommend this to? Personally, I'd recommend this game to my friends who like driving trains, building stuff, and like to do creative stuff with what the Sandbox offers. Building little towns and stations for the trains to pull into is pretty fun and breaks up the grind of trying to transport resources to the main industries. For $35, you and your friends can have a decent amount of fun with this game. However, expect this to be more of a sandbox game than a realistic railroading simulator.

Gostei do jogo mesmo não sendo entusiasta do mundo dos trens, mas acredito que tenha muito o que melhorar na jogabilidade, principalmente na construção das vias. O tutorial é um pouco arrastado, leva tempo para as atividades atualizarem na tela e passarem pro próximo item, as vezes você já faz instintivamente o próximo passo antes dele surgir. Chamei um amigo pra jogar comigo mas após tantos momentos confusos no jogo quase perdi a amizade. Por hora não recomendo, mas acredito que os desenvolvedores farão os ajustes necessários com o tempo. Se algum dia no futuro jogar de novo, retorno aqui pra atualizar meu comentário.

很好的游戏，少见的如此自由和有创意，但是细节上仍不完善让人很难受。 比如，购买界面那个滑动选择的难受感觉 修建的时候——曲线半径难道不能有1100m？坡度就非要0.5%一格？ 然后角度模式下坡度全随机，基本适配不了稍微复杂一点的地形，问题乱七八糟。 一些站点设计得十分构式——比如熔炉，我就想问了，你铁矿石的卸货区堵着木柴卸货区是什么意思？每次只能进去一节车厢？？我运60个木柴得把车厢解编再推进推出8次？？？ 说一个完了一整个星期，觉得最离谱的地方——这游戏的树基本都是反坦克树，碰上就脱轨，哪怕只露出来一个小尖尖——你可能觉得这一点没什么。。。但是、、、TMD、、、那些树是会自己从无到有，从小到大长出来的啊！！！！！

The regulator works as an acceleration percentage, as opposed to a top speed regulator, ie: you will always reach max speed even on 12% reg. Building with embankment doesn't work as it should, it faces whatever direction it wants when it should face the direction of the player. (and there's no way to change that) When the game functions, it is very relaxing and I can spend hours at a time playing it.
