As it stands, I have to pause the game at the start of each level. I wish that the game started each level paused, rather than at 1x speed so that I would have some time to process what needed to be done before getting into it.

It can be played slow and methodically at 1x speed, but can also be sped up to 4x, which is immensely helpful considering that a lot of the early levels require a bit of waiting for materials to move around. The gameplay itself is fun though and can be quite challenging at times, especially when there are three or four trains running around and the player is having to constantly change the track switches. Timeliness (or rather, efficiency) is key to getting all five stars in each level, something that I definitely need to work on this game.

The game progressively gets more complex with each level, enough so that I was barely managing to get one star (out of five) on some of the later levels I played. I had actually expected more of a tycoon game, but this is more of a puzzle title than anything.Įach level has the player laying tracks and running trains to and from different areas, transporting people and materials in order to complete the different objectives assigned by however many cities are in the level. The core gameplay mechanics and such are all there and I had no technical issues during my time with the game.

According to the store page, the only thing preventing the game from being a full release is the addition of the last forty levels, a level editor, two more locomotive types, and modding support. Train Valley 2 is a fun little tycoon-style puzzle game that is currently only available as an Early Access title. Again, these are games that are either unfinished or that I simply did not want to cover for my ACTUAL Review series. Additionally, these are all sequels to games I have never played, so I have no prior knowledge on any of them. This was actually a coincidence, but a pretty neat one at that. In the spirit of this being the second entry in my new ACTUAL Impressions series, I am featuring three games that are the second in their respective series.
