Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players like the detailed train driving and Siberian atmosphere, but find the controls and tutorial overwhelming and report bugs and a prologue-only scope.

Many players praise the detailed locomotive handling, the realistic start-up and driving procedures, and the Siberian setting, with comparisons to My Summer Car and Derail Valley. Some enjoy the mafia story and the survival elements such as drinking and shooting. Complaints centre on a long, overwhelming tutorial and many controls that take a while to learn, plus bugs such as stuck switches, trains exploding on collision and progress locks after a crash. Some reviewers want a lower price, a fuller story, multiplayer and more customisation. Recent reviews are more mixed than the older helpful ones, with several negative reviews about skip-tutorial and interaction bugs, and a few critical ones about the business model and publisher.

Praised

  • Detailed train handling

    Some players

Criticised

  • Overlong tutorial

    Players find the tutorial long and overwhelming, and the skip option does not work as expected for some.

    Many players
  • Bugs and progress locks

    Players report stuck switches, locked tutorial progress, explosions on collision and frame rate problems.

    Many players
  • Controls hard to learn

    Players say the many controls take time to learn and some interactions, like inspection mode, are confusing.

    Some players
  • Prologue scope and price

    Reviewers say the content is thin for now and want a lower price, while others criticise the publisher's store-page practices.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy realistic train simulation, slow methodical driving and Soviet-flavoured atmosphere, and who are patient with early-stage rough edges.
Who should skip it
Players who want a polished, complete game or dislike long tutorials, many controls and frequent bugs.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under an hour mostly enjoy the humour and atmosphere, while those with several hours more often report control difficulties and bugs.
