Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed reviews: players like the cozy train-based survival and the frequent updates, but many object to AI-generated assets, performance problems and oxygen mechanics.

Players who recommend OxyRail enjoy building and customising train cars, fishing, farming and livestock, and exploring a large map at their own pace. Many praise the developers for frequent updates and for answering feedback on the community Discord. Negative reviewers focus on the assets, which they believe are largely AI-generated, and on stuttering and freezes on a range of hardware. Others find the oxygen system artificial for a world full of trees, the combat weak and the early game unclear, with resources such as iron scarce. Recent reviews differ from the older helpful ones only in that the stuttering is reported as fixed by some players.

Praised

  • Frequent updates

    Players note regular patches, new features and quick fixes after feedback from the developers.

    Many players
  • Building and customising the train

    Reviewers enjoy designing train cars and expanding a mobile base with a simple, freeform building system.

    Many players
  • Cozy, relaxing pace

    Players describe a low-stress game they can play while unwinding, with adjustable difficulty settings.

    Many players
  • Fishing, farming and animals

    Fishing, raising livestock and growing crops are named as the most relaxing parts for casual players.

    Some players

Criticised

  • AI-generated assets

    Reviewers believe the art, icons and models are largely AI-generated, which they find soulless or in conflict with the developers' claims.

    Many players
  • Stuttering and performance

    Players report stuttering, freezing and camera jumps, even on high-end hardware, though some say it was later fixed.

    Some players
  • Oxygen mechanic

    Players find the constant need to refill oxygen tedious, hard to justify in a world full of trees, and sometimes pointless.

    Some players
  • Early game and interface

    Reviewers say the early game lacks tutorials and clarity, and menus, controls and resource gathering feel clumsy or slow.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who like relaxed survival and building games, enjoy train-themed play and can overlook rough edges in early access.
Who should skip it
Players who dislike AI-generated art, struggle with performance on their hardware or want deep combat and a clear story should skip it for now.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are mixed and often criticise the early game and interface, while players with 20 to 200 hours mostly recommend it for its updates and cozy building.
