    Pocket Trains starts off as a fun game, where you build a railroad empire starting with a few trains and gradually expanding to a lot more. But there's little incentive in the game to keep playing, while it's nice to get new and faster trains that can take more cargo, it's easy to get bored of it fairly quickly.

    The concept is simple, but it works well enough to keep us playing for many hours. The in-app purchases are avoidable, and with dedication we can progress without worrying too much about them.

    A sequel usually tends to be bigger and better: however, Pocket Trains doesn't follow this rule, ending in having less depth and much more focus on IAPs if compared to the overall better Pocket Planes released last year.
