    All in all, TRS is a fun, in-depth simulator which can be massively improved in terms of story mode and playable scenarios. The developers have confirmed post-launch support and I expect the game to grow in size through DLCs and User Mods.

    I give Train Station Renovation credit for being the straightforward, generally pleasant game that scratches a gaming itch that I didn’t know I had. While I may have been disappointed with the “rebuilding” half of the renovation process, there was methodical contentment in the cleaning of these abandoned train stations that I quite enjoyed. This is absolutely not a game I’d recommend to all, or even most people, but, if you know what you’re getting into, it’s a solid enough entry in a niche market to be worth some of your time.

    "You should not judge a book by its cover", a saying that applies ideally to this game. By no means a perfect or even great game, Train Station Renovation can be extremely relaxing and addictive. But alla that up until the point it gets repetitive and the bugs some times ruin the experience.

    Renovate the train station, now in Germany as well. It's a non-original, but quite solid relaxation simulation.

    This is a average borderline bad game. A bit like House Flipper but no where near as good. The controls aren't good especially when placingThis is a average borderline bad game. A bit like House Flipper but no where near as good. The controls aren't good especially when placing objects, the rotate is very fiddly. Toilet cubicle and parts are atrocious to place.
    It is quite a relaxing game if you want to just clean and make things look better.
    But not enough objects to be creative or make things more unique looking.
    Decorations consist mostly of plants and christmas decorations.

    Placing objects is boring and tedious so I just shove the requirements down in corners or along walls not even caring if it's facing the wrong way or if it looks orderly or nice.

    I did not have any bugs or crashing so was able to complete all levels 100%.

    The game is very linear you can only complete levels in order and even worse once you finish a level you can't go back and play it, and to be able to play it again you have to start a new game, which is terribly limiting as you can only get achievements in the campaign not sandbox.

    I did get bored with the game quite quickly and rushed and tried to complete levels as quick as possible.
    The game is not consistant enough with the tools you use. There are wood planks on the ground which say pick when you put the cursor over them and even though they look the same, some require you to use the crowbar on them, others require the axe, it happens with other objects as well.

    I can't recommend the game as it's not enjoyable enough to play. Trying to get 100% for each level felt like a form of torture.
    Even though I had not gotten all achievements, I could not stand to play it for another minute.
    The game lacks quality and freedom to replay the level you want in the campaign. There are other simular but much better made games that have much more polish, depth and fun.
