Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this co-op train game as a clear upgrade on the first, mainly for chaotic fun with friends, though many report bugs and performance problems.

Many players say this sequel improves on the original with more biomes, more wagons, character cartridges and a path system that lets them choose between risky and relaxed runs. Most enjoy the frantic teamwork of laying track and keeping the train moving, especially with friends, and several say it stays fresh over long play. Some players find the bots helpful, while others say solo play is frustrating because bots cause crashes and pathfinding is poor. Many complaints concern technical problems: freezes, stutters, black screens on some systems, crashes and connection errors in online play. Some players also note the endless mode lacks a story-driven ending and that the game can feel repetitive.

    A few players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy stressful, cooperative party games with friends or family, especially those who liked Overcooked or the first Unrailed.
Who should skip it
Players who want a story-driven game, solo play without bugs, or stable performance on a less powerful system should wait for further fixes.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with long playtimes more often mention the repetition and the depth of the wagon and cartridge systems, while newer players focus on the chaotic co-op fun.
