60 of 197 · most liked firstThis game feels like a student project. It's a GOOD student project and should get an A grade, but it definitely feels like a artsy little creativity toy someone made rather than a finished product. The good: - The graphics and animations are nice and the low-poly style really gives it some of that Dorfromantik type of charm. - Building tools are intuitive and the logic-based switching system works well. The bad: - Interface, interface, interface: the game does not do a good job of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing Super Loco World feels like sitting down to play toy trains with your little sibling, but they insist your doing it wrong constantly, making you conform to arbitrary rules of play that don't make sense and do not match the vibe of the cute plastic toys on simple wooden tracks. The game feels like an early access title, and needs mod support or updates badly. It crosses genres in a way that I don't understand - it claims to be "cozy" and looks and plays like it on the face, but in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I want to like this game but too many QOL elements are missing. There is no encyclopaedia - so what kind of goods does this train carry? No way to know without buying a train. You can hover over a train to know what its name is, but you can't hover over a wagon to know what goods it carries? What does this switch do again? Sorry, there is a train on it, you have to wait. You want to place a switch on a bridge, already occupied, sorry. You want to place two switches at a location - no can…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If this had been in early access, I might've given it a pass - but unfortunately, it isn't, and it doesn't live up to its cozy first impression. On paper it looks neat, and there's a fleeting thrill when your trains roll like clockwork. Most of the time, though, it's pure frustration. You don't have enough options to build anything sophisticated. Each tile can hold only one object - so complex junctions are virtually impossible. Stations have a single platform, unlike Transport Tycoon's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I absolutely adore this game. I had played the demo and fell in love instantly. Then I bought the game and got frustrated as there is no hand holding after the initial basic instructions. After a few days I picked it up again and took my time to figure our how to optimise rails and not go into debt. This has been my experience with the game: 1. Setting up optimal rails, switches, traffic lights, fuel depots to ensure no gridlock. 2. As supply and demand changes, you go back to #1. 3. Then…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This feels like a demo, not a finished game. Automation missing a lot on logic, side stations can be upgraded once or not at all. Finishing last quest to get a "super loco engine" leaves you with a "Victory" screen. Was nice to play, but it left me with a feeling of being cut off and blocked at the very beginning of what could be a good game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game, I did. I love trains and signals and being autistic as hell about automation games and stuff like this. It's just, not good. The Game itself is mostly fine and only has little issues that compound over and over again to make the experience slowly LESS fun as time goes on, as opposed to more fun. The tutorial is very barebones and explains the very basics to you. Otherwise, you just have to experiment on your own. Which is potentially fine, but theirs very…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I saw this game when Johnny Chiodini was playing it and seemed to scratch that part of my brain of logic gates and relaxing gameplay Update: This game is fully playable with only the mouse, making it more accessible to our one handed gaming comrades
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is fun for a while but the clunkyness really gets out of hand around level 5. Also I kept having an issue where trains would drop off supplies at the capital then stay there until I clicked them, I checked every setting I could find on the station, trains, stop lights ect but couldn't figure it out.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bumping this game's review percentage because this is a very bug free and polished game. Sure there could be more features like bridges/underground track but I think that's apart of the intentional challenge. It would be nice to have a route viewer that essentially tells you where automated switches point and when signals trigger for that color line. Point in saying, if you like trains give them their very fair asking price of 10 bucks and have a blast
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoyable game, definetly decieving in terms of difficulty. It appears to be a fun little game, meanwhile its gets pretty headscratching after 1-2 hours. A couple of QoL changes need to be made to be more fun. But nice game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →scratches that itch (autism and automation to be exact)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mid game. Cute graphics, but obviously didn't get play tested, and can't seem to figure out what type of train game it wants to be. There are no "islands" as implied by the trailer. New goods and stations are locked up by quests. Reworking trains and tracks is a headache. So many better titles on Steam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall, the game is very enjoyable and plays very well, but there is very little content. It lacks different maps, perhaps some puzzle levels to complete, maybe a storyline, some other building limits or something, or perhaps allowing players to create their own maps. The game has huge potential, but it's wasted, which is a shame. If the developer starts updating the game and adding new things, I think it will be worth buying in the future, but right now, definitely not
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally an Arcady train building game that truly delivers a great experience This game is just a blast, casual gameplay with simple mechanics, somewhat great blocky graphics, directly supports 32:9 aspect ratio, which is just insane for a single developer. 10/10 Is beautiful and fun. There should be a Sandbox mode where you could go just insane with infinite money and all unlocked.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is so much fun. Don't let the looks deceive you, though. It is definitely a challenge. Despite it not having full-blown Autonauts logic, it has some real challenges in balancing and signal management. In a way it reminds me of Islanders: it's a chill game, but to get further and further you'll have to form strategies and figure out solutions to problems. If you like problem solving and vibing out with some trains, it's a no-brainer for the money. It's well worth the price.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There's far too much micromanagement even for simplest actions. Made a mistake? Now you have 10x micromanagement to put your trains back where they are supposed to be. Good luck not making a mistake again. There is nothing cozy about this
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ok, I don't like to leave negative reviews, however, when the train keeps driving in circles, and the signals don't work. I was also slightly frustrated by the fact that you can't configure the signals to go straight instead of a turn. THEY ALWAYS TAKE THE TURN, and it just frustrates me, because I shouldn't have to build a giant super computer just to get the one train I need to go straight, to go straight.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels like a simplified version of transport tycoon. Setting up the railway logic is good fun to fine tune and rewarding once everything starts running smoothly. Would be nice if the game lasted longer, hopefully there is more to come :) * 5 seconds later, realises there is a free play mode that has no end :D *

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Partially unnecessarily clumsy. It offers nothing new. I would not buy it again.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Calming, deeply enjoyable if simple game. Cash flow is an issue still; expansion is often difficult to gauge cost of, and most runs will end after a debt spiral while you're tabbed out, because one of the many traffic signs on your map is programmed incorrectly. Best enjoyed when you treat it like models, take your time, and don't push through the upgrades/levels. A bit content light at time of writing. A sandbox mode would take this game a long way.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Way too many glitches and bad designs to call it "cozy". Why can't I call two trains the same name? Would have been the easiest way tto assign two trains to tthe same route. Why can't I edit the rules of a crossing when a train is passing through it? Just apply the rules to the next train. I was unable to untangle the knot because of that, had to nuke the whole area to manually pull the trains apart. Everywhere in the game everything is made intentionally awkward and inconvenient to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun little puzzle game that's actually still very chill and cozy. The graphics are cute and friendly. You literally get to design your own train track. (Which if, like me, you did loads of as a kid, this hits all the nostalgia parts of your brain.) Highly recommend to anyone who likes a puzzle, but more importantly... TRAINS!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a lover of trains, and of course, the classic Transport Tycoon, I was very excited by this game. I love building systems like this game offers. Unfortunately I'm struggling with building an efficient system due to one issue: The trains always take the first turn they come across. This means you need to build a signal for every crossing. Because track is relatively expensive, and real estate limited (particularly due to the single platform per station design), it's hard to build a 'bus' of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a game being about trains, the developer's decision of how train switches/turnouts function within the 3D environment drives me crazy. As someone who loves trains, the way they're handled in Super Loco World is a product of when the game's development was a top down 2D game as revealed in the dev diary video. Games like Islands & Trains, Conduct Deluxe, even the ancient Lego Loco, simply show the direction of the turnout with an arrow or direction of the throw bar. I wouldn't be making a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After getting the town to level 7 and completing the game, I have some tips to help others. My first game was a mess and I wanted to start over after upgrading the town once. My second game went a lot better, but after getting the town to level 5, I wasn't able to deliver enough items for the next upgrade. However, I learned from my mistakes in this one and completed the game in my third attempt. Tip 1: Locate the town near the center of the island. This way it acts as the center of a hub…

Let's try again" Ends in bankruptcy and ragequit Third game: "Okay, let's try it very carefully and slowly again. Let's plan everything" Finally winning the game, with a convoluted rail network I don't understand myself I really like the game. Even though I make a lot of mistakes, yell at the trains when they go the wrong way, and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What should be a "cozy" little game turns out to be incredibly frustrating with a UI which is unfortuantely clunky and unintuative. I hope the dev continues to update this game and fixes the UI as it really holds back this game!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seems like a good game, but just doesn't make much fun since it is way to CLUNKY. You can't even RENAME a train when it is not in the depot, which is important for certain signals. The UI and controls are not done well and on the steam deck they're just bad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its no transport fever or Railroads but its somewhat decent, UI and train signaling needs a lot of work. Its very easy misclicking switches or trains making it possible to create some unnecessary moves. 3/10.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is annoying and the 'story' mode isn't really a story as far as i can tell. Needs to be made more user friendly, many times it seems to require seeing the future (which is annoying when the mission says to do something you will soon regret.) and has no real way to undo mistakes "oh my train is full of wood but the town isn't taking much wood? can i do anything else with it? Nope just waste gas, or block the station and wait i guess.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I bought the game for my kid who loves trains and stayed because its really fun. Its the perfect cozy game for me, I didn't find the controls difficult at all and its one of those games you can play for hours on end.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall, I liked it. The junctions are really not intuitive (trains will ALWAYS turn instead of go straight if they can), I had to look up how to work with signals to get them to work. But once I got the hang of it, I enjoyed playing through the story. If you enjoy train automation and aren't afraid of some trial and error, go for it. That being said, there are probably better train games with more content available.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yes it can be slightly annoying when a train is *just* too far from the signals to automatically switch, and yes it an do with some extra mouseovers so you know exactly what is what, but I could sit and watch this for hours. I lie awake thinking how I can squeeze that tiny bit of efficiency from my network. God I love this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, I've beaten the game too many times. i still continue playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have been needing to try a "brain scratcher" game for awhile now and this game serves that purpose. I've played a lot of satisfactory and I can easily compare that to this however I feel like this game has a lot of potential that has still yet to be explored, there not enough upgrades besides a couple levels for each. stations Hoping there would be more byproducts that can make the game more interesting, the game went by a lot faster than I thought it did include some difficult puzzles that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoyable train and logistics simulator. It's easy to tear down and rebuild to a more efficient layout.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cozy and chill till you try to reach level 6. Then you have to really lock in your optimization to get past that. Fun game though.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As much as I like the premise of this game, I find much of the execution to be frustrating - Terrain becomes an unnecessary object (because NO TUNNELS), also regions are too rng (you cant plan ahead because a new region generates somewhere randomly useless). If these were addressed i would recommend the game, but to me they are just too frustrating to be enjoyable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this game, but it's way to short. There is only one level: Yes a big and very long level. But if you want to play some more you only can reastart and do it all over again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →when starting the game i rename all my trains suited to what it carries "ie" ore = O1 or O2 ect ect i find its easier for point setting only to find that 8 hours into the game and some of my trains names have resorted back to default, This game could be fun but as yet still to many glitches
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was looking forward to this but it seems there are keyboard keys to use but they are not provided, not even in the options or a tutorial popup. After 50 minutes I have created a new train with only an engine, can't stop it or delete it. For light casual game, I would expect more hand-holding at the beginning. I think T did something (add track?) but who knows. I ended up with a train with only an engine that I had no idea how to delete, rolling in circles around a track that I could not stop.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recommend this for automation puzzle enthusiasts who don't mind that you can pretty much finish it in 8 hours. Cosy? The fact that the game operates continuously in Ironman mode and that some mistakes are hard to predict and understand makes it a paradoxically stressful experience at times. The joy is in understanding the command logic that can be programmed into various elements, and using those so that your trains go to the right places. The challenge/difficulty is in managing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game demonstrates why most train games have an auto-reverse mechanism. Meaning, the train will automatically turn itself around when you hit a dead-end. Without it, its an exercise in frustration and logistics. It leads into needing to micromanage switches and junctions to make sure each train ends up turning in the correct direction. Suddenly this cozy game feels less cozy than something like Rail Grade or Transport Fever. Can't recommend this as it is, maybe we will see more QOL…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Autism trap. Didn't realize that 16 hours had passed. It's 1 am now and i'm not regretting any of my choices
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Well, I straight up feel cheated by the trailer. Just 'finished' the game right when it seemed like things were about to get interesting. What happened to the new island rising? I thought maybe at least after completing the game I get a sandbox mode with a bigger land? But nothing, you can complete the game in 2 evenings and they call this a finished game? This is acceptable in early access but this game is fully out now. Edit: I just checked the dev commentary and even he says it´s in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This has got to have the most aggravating controls I have ever dealt with. I can't in good consciousness recommend this game until there are some big changes including multiple items on the same piece of track, 1 way track, and more items in general for quality of life. like having a 4 way track. I will gladly try the game again in a year or so when there are more improvements.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An interesting concept that rapidly gets bogged down with tedium. Stations only have one platform, and with how many trains you need running to keep them supplied with the materials they need, you just end up with massive backlogs of trains waiting while your progress drains away. I've spent more time paused, ripping up and relaying networks trying to get stuff to work, than I have anything else, and it's just a boring drag when compared to other rail based games like it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple and cozy rail management with surprising in-depth logic conditions. Exactly what I was looking for for the price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Its great! Relaxing, fun, and it makes you think and plan as networks get more and more complex. The beautiful thing is that there's no danger, trains automatically stop and avoid any catastrophes, so the worst thing that can happen is that you end up in a situation where you have to micromanage trains by stopping, moving and reversing them until you clear things out. Very well worth the money!!

unlabelledView post →good game, I enjoyed optimising my train routes and figuring out the best set up. game itself is solid, you work towards building this machine to resurface an island, but then the story just stops dead. unfortunately I found this very underwhelming, you can keep playing after the fact working on your routes and such but it feels aimless without a real goal to it. i reset a few times after messing up, i found that easier than restructuring everything, and despite repeating i only managed about…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Awful controls. Trains won't even go straight on default. The conditions system for setting intersections is absurdly convoluted. Either do full proper logic gates or keep it simpler.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →On the surface: A simple automation game with a train theme. The challenge? Whatever you make it. You could be played and done in a couple of hours or you can spend hours (or days) refining your setup to make it just perfect. Not a true train simulator in the sense of real life train networks, but a train themed automation challenge akin to Mini Motorways or Masterplan Tycoon. The cozy aspect is a real winner - play, tweak, experiment without loud or intrusive warnings about the game ending or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has nice graphics and sound and good ideas, poor controls make it unforgivingly difficult, where the smallest mistake can be frustrating to overcome and can sink your entire game. On top of that, there are only 3 game save slots so you can't save often. The result is that this game feels like a 1980s arcade game where one tiny mistake means you need to start the whole game over. Some specifics: There are times this is maddening where you expect to find controls (like dumping…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had a great time playing this game. It strikes a really nice balance between being relaxing and offering enough challenge to keep things interesting. The art style is adorable, and everything feels thoughtfully made. You can genuinely feel the love and passion the developer put into the game, which makes the experience even better. If you’re looking for a chill train game with some satisfying challenges, I’d definitely recommend this one!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super Loco World - Cozy Train Automation, developed by Andriy Bychkovskyi and published by Curve Games, is a thoughtfully designed simulation that reimagines the train automation and logistics genre through a deliberately cozy and accessible lens. Rather than overwhelming players with rigid systems or harsh failure states, the game invites them into a gentle, pastel-colored world where the joy comes from experimentation, gradual mastery, and watching carefully planned rail networks come to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far is a fun game to organize trains. There needs to be a lot of work on the ui. Also I dont think there is a way of seeing if a train is full looking at the train cargo. This is needed at junctions. If a train is full I would like it to go one way, if not another. Would be useful at the station. Which is another issue. I would like to be able to have more than one input line for a station. Hopefully I can do that in the future, maybe I havent unlocked that yet.
