Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love the game but it has seemed to get more glitchy as it ages. All day today it has said needs to update! No movement when we try to update in App Store. Just stays stalled.
We have played TS2 for a few years. It used to be challenging and entertaining. Now, the game is intentionally designed so that to have any chance of advancing you have to contribute lots of money AND watch lots of ads. We used to pay money regularly, because PF employees need to get paid. Now it has gotten out of hand, and we refuse to watch ANY ads or pay ANY money. We play because we like the folks in our union. Otherwise we would not bother.
We love the current event going on, but where is the titanium factory? We ve looked everywhere, but we dont see it. Baffled.
We love trains we really like this game thank you.
If you like model trains, youll enjoy this game. Very few, unobtrusive ads. 5 stars. Ive been enjoying this game for a couple of months now, and still having fun.
This is a very well put together game and it would be 5 stars if it had some features such as a global market for buying and selling materials between players and not the frustrating lack of red building plans. You will only watch ads if you want to get bonus items or speed up gameplay. Its definitely worth the download.
The gameplay is very satisfying to do but when we try to get in to the game it tells us to restart it and when we do it doesnt load up, if you have tips to fix this or if you can fix this it will be very much appreciated. Thank you for hearing us out and we hope your next game is better than this one. Yours truly,a fan.
Its the best railway tycoon ever but theres problems: the currencies are too expensive and the dispatchers and trains are expensive and the currencies are hard to get.
Sick of 2 hour Royal Kingdom ads! All the others are 30 secs no prob. Sorry Phoebe & Monica not even for you.
We had recently got this game and its fun to play but we been finding something strange on our nord 140 the tender was missing something and it looked like it glitched without the rest of the tender in general please fix it.
We played this game. Perhaps Im impatient, but why does it take 1 hour for some tasks? It takes waaaay too long. However, still good.
It would be cool if they could just make an interesting game thats accessible. Only good way to progress is by spending so much cash on gems or packages or events or any other ways they dream up. Developers that made this probably hate games. This is a money extraction tool. Our advice, hire someone that loves games and charge a subscription and maybe some cosmetics.
The game in general is pretty decent. But anytime an event comes around it is entirely pay to win. You have absolutely no chance to get first place no matter how on top of your game you are. We just spent our entire day off, keeping our trains in perfect rotation between getting supplies and sending them to their destinations. Then at 9:00 at night someone drops probably $50 on gems to get just shy of 1000 points over a 30 minute time period. This is unfair and absurd. Speed ups used in events should be limited. We remembered why we stopped playing this game after that. Its a shame. We genuinely believe the developers do not care though.
We love this game so much we want to build a train station we love this game we like gambling.
This game is a pretty good one, we have to admit. We are an avid train enthusiast and this game is nice for a good few reasons: 1. The events are cool and present a fun challenge at times 2. The locomotive selection is plentiful and diverse, and we have to give credit to the 3D modelers who do them. 3. A lot of regions are included, even if you have to grind for them a little bit. 4. The game never forces an ad to your face mid gameplay, and the only way to get them is to activate an ad offer, such as the Lucky Wheel. Now a couple of our gripes and suggestions (they dont overpower the pros) 1. Most of the time when you do jobs, they take an hour. Sometimes we dont mind at all but we think you might want to decrease the time that it takes to do this. 2. Some of the sounds arent really the best, such as the noise when steam locomotives are moving (which is our main concern sound-wise) there is no chuffing and if you listen in the background you can hear what appears to be an SD40-2, GP38, or any locomotive of its nature. 3. Some locomotives dont feel right in the region that theyre in. For instance, we feel that the Big Boy should be in Region 3 (USA) instead of Region 2 (Germany), so if there was a way to switch locomotives from region to region, we think it would be a good idea to implement it. 4. Lastly, we think that people should have two options when it comes to speeding up trains, those being gems and ads. Overall this is a great game and Id recommend anyone who is interested in trains to give it a shot.
Started playing game which went fine at first. Also, invested cash into the game and then the game just locked up. It froze on a page and we could not do anything else. There was no way to contact anyone and thats where it sits. Reboots and all and nothing worked. Dont waste your time and effort on this game.
Whatever the problem was, it seems to have been fixed. Thank you.
The jobs take too long in our opinion but overall the game is pretty good.
We wish the game would quit crashing. At least once a day while playing the game crashes. Annoying.
Its a fun game and it helps us with our anxiety and adhd Im happy that it came across our phone even our parents are playing it.
This game could be really fun, if it didnt take HOURS to haul 3 pieces of coal The first couple steps of a job go quick, then the last 1-2 take an extraordinary amount of time to complete! We could understand the last couple taking 10-15 minutes but they literally take hours!! It takes forever to finish tasks so if you have big projects start them then go to bed, you may not be done in the morning though.
Superior graphics and interesting game play pulled us in. That was good for the first few levels. Then it becomes a drag. Evidently the folks at TS2 think all Canada has to offer is pink salt and ice hockey. Once all other objectives are archived, you still need to make ~500 deliveries of salt to advance to the next country THATS BORING.
Excelente juego buenos grficos lo que es que es muy lento para poder obtener recompensa y poder avanzar en el juego es muy lento.
Enjoy a game with a lot of interaction and still cant believe the trees move lo, neat game.
Can you make a Train station 1 game.
Train Station 2 will not let us play on our iPad still. We have been trying to play over 2 months now. Please fix so we can start playing the game? Thank you.
Time games are losing a lot of people interest.
We have just completed the last of the available story missions for Germany, and we went to see if we could get a legendary train but it gave us a duplicate of a train that we already have. So if could fix that percentage problem, that would be really helpful. Thank you and have a good rest of your night.
Not enough action in the game,you send the trains off to do a task and then you have to wait an hour to play again,what fun is that.
Yeah, we played it for about two hours. Got the level six and got stuck and it would not let us do anything all it kept telling us his warehouse is full. We couldnt move a train. We couldnt do anything so we deleted the game and there was nowhere on there to click to get extra help from the AI.
Every update lately introduces a ton of new bugs and glitches that make the gameplay intolerable. The latest update is HOT TRASH. Please fix this.
But it is pretty frustrating when you sit through what seems like a three minute ad (probably not that long) and at the end of the ad it says no video available and you do not get the rewards. Then you have to watch the ad again or just skip those rewards. Seems to do it the most on the royal kingdom match game ads. Stop with the Kalshi ads.
Can you make it so we cant get free gems because we dont want spam he will steal all your money.
We love the game but can you make it to where we have infinite space and infinite train cars pls. Other than that we love the game.can you also make the crossing lights flash and make the crossing gates go up and down when a train is going by. Hey quick update to the review make multiplayer a thing without chat we want to be able to play with other players in the game although it is still a 5 star game.
Its great we have a idea for the sequel the player can drive the train.
In Training station 2 you have tons of jobs and trains :spoiler alert!!!!, in the second map Berlin you get tons of xp from the blimp job. Five stars and we want to give a huge shoutout to the union event and all the events in the future and to the developers who made the game.
We like this game because we like trains.
Every things perfect but the time it takes an hour at most for the longest which will take up a lot of our time.
Our mom and we started playing on her phone a few years ago and its been our favorite game! The train selection is great but repetitive sometimes.now Ive got a phone we can play on our own and its an absolute blast its our favorite game and hasnt got old even though Ive been playing for over 100 days now.
Love the game but plleeaasssee stop making the jobs one hour and also one thing about Sierra railway #3, PLEASE MAKE IT FREE.
Hey your app is crashing. Ive deleted and reinstalled the app 3 times but it still makes you restart the game over and over.
Its so fun to play and looks 10/5 we love it.
We have been playing this game for a month and it is so much fun and time consuming to not get bored.five stars.
Good game overall just one complaint sometimes the mission takes over an hour to do.
This is our favorite idle game by far.
We have played this game for 2 in a half years! We cannot stop playing it at all love it.
We like this game more than we expected. We'd classify it as an idle game. You start out with the ability to be more interactive with it, but eventually tasks take about an hour to finish, and we expect that will eventually get longer. If all your trains are busy, you have to wait or use diamonds/gems to speed things up. This is standard for mobile games, so it's not unexpected. However, you can choose to not do all of the longer tasks at once and instead focus on other things like inventory management if you keep a train or two free. This is an absolutely beautiful game with great animations and sounds and they put a lot of detail into making it look great. We don't know if these are stock graphics, but the game looks really really nice. Our ONLY complaint about the entire game so far is that the task circles ruin the beauty of the game. We like to zoom all the way in and look a the graphics, watch the trains and other vehicles moving, look at the buildings, etc. The game is eye candy! But the task circles are like litter in a beautiful landscape. The devs did a fabulous job making this game look gorgeous. We'd love to be able to have the task circles (and other floating actionable objects) disappear when fully zoomed in. We look forward to #3 in this series.
Nice game play, but it has no sound although it says the sound and music are on. Im playing on iphone. Help please.
Wanted to start over because havent played in awhile and theres no option to start over just delete account which takes 30 days.
The game itself is great, but the ads are getting worse and worse there are multiple ones now that require you to hit the X three and four times now, making us want to give up on the game.
