    In its current state, Railgrade is an easy recommendation if you enjoy trains and logistical puzzles. Just don’t come into this expecting a simulation-focused experience. I never played Railgrade before the Steam version so can’t comment on what changed or improved, but I see myself dipping into the game regularly over the coming months as a nice relaxing experience. The shorter mission structure also perfectly suits the pick up and play nature of the Steam Deck.

    The management and simulation of trains is still fun, and in this game it is also enriched by the development of cities and the addition and improvement of buildings. The complex extensive campaign will be appreciated mainly by creative and at the same time patient players.

    If you like RTS management then this game does very little wrong but if story is something you want, I can not recommend RailGrade. Well, unless corporate hoo-ha is something that entertains you then this has a lot of that.

    An addictive railway management puzzler that will scratch the itch for the logical thinking part of your brain and is very enjoyable whilst doing so. Though, for some, it may become repetitive.

    Folks, there is a lot to this game; it might not be a pure railroad / train management simulator, but it has a lot to offer, especially if you like puzzles. Everything runs very smoothly, and I didn't find any bugs. Some of the missions will require you to start from scratch where you need to locate resources, build or rather place the appropriate resource gathering buildings, assign the necessary workers and lay down rails, place stations, set the switches while adding the needed trains and its cars. Other missions might provide a jumbled-up mishmash collection of broken rails that need to be fixed and improved. Every mission will be different from the previous ones.

    Railgrade is so good at what it does, despite relying only on its campaign.

    Those who crave a good logic puzzle and get their kicks from solving logistical nightmares will find a lot to love in Railgrade.

    Railgrade is one of those games that get weaker over time.

It is very easy to handle, even on TV with an Xbox controller thanks to the well thought-out controls.
    The strongly Japanese design seems a bit out of place and even confusing in view of the futuristic setting. Since you get to know many new elements quite quickly, there is quite a lot of text that sometimes overwhelms you - it's a pity that there is no audio output.    … Full Review »

    Amazing game, love those small levels which force you to think differently everytime. The finance mechanics are easy, but also reallyAmazing game, love those small levels which force you to think differently everytime. The finance mechanics are easy, but also really enjoyable, because you can not only put on debt, but also receive interest on money you put in the bank. The real-time aspect and time limit also force you to act quickly. Difficulty is also good for me, although the early levels are a bit too easy. The 20 euros were a good investment. If you enjoy those things I mentioned above, this game is for you. Oh yeah, and also trains. … Full Review »
