Subway Builder

I'm just so sick of unfinished games.... I miss paying for a game that was actually COMPLETE

Awful tutorial that doesn't even cover the basics of the game, FPS drops like my PC is about to explode, always online, the most unsympathetic developer (Colin) I've ever encountered, and a lot of bugs. People say it's playable and enjoyable when you mod the game, but if you *have* to mod a game in order for it to be playable and enjoyable the game shouldn't be released yet.

The dev behind this game knows ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about how gaming and modern games are structured. A non-Steam launch for an early access game is not unheard of but really weird these days, nobody wants to sign up to your ♥♥♥♥ website to download a game. $40 on Steam for an indie game developed mostly by one person is just nuts. That is AA territory, you can get Cities Skylines 2 for that money. Putting the website version under a serial key DRM that you need to unbind every time you switch systems like it’s early-mid 2000’s. I don’t think I need to explain how out of touch this is for 2026. Always online for a game that has no excuse. No sane gamer in 2026 tolerate ♥♥♥♥ like this. At first I thought he’d learn from the community but since the beginning he’s been consistently ignoring anyone who knows anything about gaming. I thought Steam launch would humble him a little bit but nothing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gets through his thick ego. Why did I still buy it at Steam launch? Because there is no alternative I returned it. Game is now unplayable, last time I checked it was fine but he also ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up somehow. If you’re reading this and want to buy this game, do NOT buy the game. I regret ever playing it.

Not a bad game, absolutely not worth $40 though.

I honestly don't get the hate the developer is getting. This is an amazing game, fairly priced by today's standards and with enough features to be called complete already. Yes, an offline mode would be nice, but for me it's honestly not a dealbraker.

Yeah gonna go ahead and refund this one. Basically no tutorial, moving the camera around feels laggy even before you've built a single bit of rail, and it's just clearly lacking a ton of polish. And that's all to say nothing about the fact that a they made a single-player sandbox game online-only. "Oh it's so the game isn't too big and it can run faster" yeah right dude

I don't know where to begin with this one really. The controls feel super rough, I try rotating the map slightly, and bloody hell North is at the bottom right of my screen now. Every menu feels like it needs an instruction manual to navigate. (Tutorial barely covers anything) Hilariously, pressing Shift+Tab to check how many minutes I had on my current session would not work. How on earth do you miss something like that, it should surely be simple play testing. I really can't recommend this game if it's in THIS sort of a state, although with the vibe coding allegations I hear, can't really be surprised. I'm going to try and refund this. Honestly, provided both games are at full price, save yourself £9 and just buy NIMBY Rails instead. Much better game, with more effort put into it by the dev, also has much more content wise, an active mod scene, and a really helpful community. Oh, and it doesn't try and sell itself as a full release.

For my laptop the game was too much. I was getting frames under 15 all the time, it wasn't playable. Wich is strange beacuse my laptop can run games that are 3D and have good graphics and I mean it, I haven't had trouble with my laptop so far even tho it's quite old, but then comes this 2D game that my laptop actually can't run. I made a metro line and the performance got even worse. If you have a pc/laptop that's similar to mine you shouldn't buy the game beacuse your laptop/pc probably wouldn't be able to run it.
