Tails of Trainspot

The game is in essence a Hashi Bridges puzzle game in the form of tracks and stations. The levels are divided over four islands, and every island has one different rule to the puzzles. At one island it could be to choose out of two abandoned stations which one to use, and another could be a station with an unknown amount of connections. It's very quick to pick up, and 3 stars on about 90% of the puzzles should be doable in the first try. It's not too difficult, but it still gives you some thinking to do. Now the achievements are fairly straightforward. You don't even need 3 stars on everything. You don't even need to finish the hidden place, which is actually a good thing as that timer there is awfully annoying and far too quick. You just need to play all four islands and the achievements will pop up here and there. Not sure why some of the achievements are hidden as they're just the same type as the rest and not spoiling anything. It's very easy to spot that English is not the first language of the devs as there'll be a lot of grammatical errors in the dialogues. Thankfully the story can be largely understood, although there's not really much of a story to this game. You're basically a couple of furry animals who are hired to lay tracks and have to plan for that. The storyline is just silly. Some of the dialogue from one NPC goes too fast as if you accidentally pressed skip there, so that's a bit of a bug but nothing game-breaking. Input is a bit annoying with keyboard and mouse, a controller is more enjoyable. The game worked like a charm on the Steam Deck. The GUI could use some improvement as it's not always very clearly visible which stations are connected. This game's probably worth about a fiver at most, so grab it in a bundle or on sale. The puzzles themselves are okay enough, this can be finished in about 2-3 hours. The dialogue is just fluff and doesn't add much. Generally speaking I would give this game a thumbs up for the puzzles, but considering that at the writing of this review it is sold for 11,79 euro, I'll give it a thumbs down. But if you manage to get it for under 5 euro, you'll probably have a good enough time. (I got this in a bundle myself.)
