60 of 352 · most liked firstVoidtrain is a beautiful and atmospheric game with an interesting concept - a journey along the rails of its own narrative, starting from a simple handcar and gradually building up into a small train. On paper, it sounds like a perfect mix of survival, crafting, exploration, and mystery. In practice… it’s a ride that looks better than it plays. What’s Good: Unique and interesting concept, managing and upgrading a train in a mysterious void is genuinely refreshing. Charming atmosphere and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like this game, i wouldn't necessarily recommend it though..., it feels as though the main appeal of this game is supposed to be the comical story narration and funny animations. But the marketing sells you on the idea of gameplay thats similar to raft but on a train in the void. Sadly, that part of the game is rather quite lacking and a lot of things just feel rushed and as if they were pushed to deliver gameplay elements as a "minimal-viable product". There's a few things that bother me a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly chapter 3 feels like it was written by chat gpt. Begining of the game was nice and interesting but then it became so random and chaotic and not in a good sense. Ending is straight up blatant and feels more like developers just wanted to finish the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't usually write reviews, but because I bought this game at full price ($30) I felt the need that I should. The initial aesthetic and concept is really cool- I love the combination of Norse Mythos with the WW2 aesthetic (plus the rofleemos are very adorable!) and there's a lot of potential in this game. However playing it for a total of 10 hours now in a duo it becomes extremely repetitive very quickly. Gameplay: The gun creation/mod system is clunky, there is no variation in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game can be compared to a cream-filled waffle roll. It looks fantastic on the shelf, you buy it, and the first bite is wonderful. But then you realize there’s only a tiny bit of cream at each end to impress you, while the entire middle of the roll is hollow. Almost every system in the game follows the same frustrating pattern: it has feature X, but it’s pointless because Y. Here’s what I mean: - It has weapon upgrades, but they’re pointless because once you pick up any rifle of any…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disappointing, but with little flashes of brilliance that keep you playing. Voidtrain is a survival craft game without the open world that so many games rely on to extend content. It tries to make up for the fact that it's literally on rails with a more directed experience, but it fails to challenge the player in any way. In fact, Voidtrain actually seems like it's afraid to ask the player to take any risks or perform any game mechanics. It's worth mentioning that you don't have to do…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The "gameplay" is that you are "on rails" and you point a vacuum at floating garbage for 80 hours. It is "excruciatingly tedious" and I am obsessed with it. It's a "chill and Zen experience". My brain is off. My train is long. I am collecting wood in a purple dimension. I have never known such peace. 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The only complaint I have about Void Train, is that I was strongly enticed into getting it by the prominent feature of a steam locomotive in the artwork, but the steam loco will eventually be obsolete and you'll wind up replacing it with a diesel. So, yeah, it's great.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I had to sum up the first few hours: Lots of fun ideas, but no coherent design. Especially when it comes to pushing "optimal" gameplay closer to "fun" gameplay. Maybe it "gets good at 16 hours", but from what I've heard, it's about 24 hours long so I've already made it 25% through. Why do I say that: The core gameplay loop involves running your train between safe point like "stations", collecting resources. The balance seems to be designed for you moving between stations at a decent clip…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wanted the game they advertised, unfortunately, it doesn't exist. The core game idea and execution is great, but its like they gave up after a month of development. There's about 3-5 hours of legitimately fun content, but then everything just repeats itself. The same generated island, the same 5 materials, the same two types of enemies in the exact same spots. Its like this game was made with the sole purpose of providing you enough content so that you pass the two hours steam refund…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a slog. At first, it feels like Raft but with better graphics...then the reality sets in: it's actually got less depth than Raft and takes longer for anything to happen. It becomes a repetitive grindfest leading up to a fairly "meh" conclusion. Long story short, it's a Raft clone but not a good one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Voidtrain has an interesting premise: a survival game where you manage a train moving across another dimension inspired by Norse mythology, having gun fights with nazis as you improve your weapons and vehicle through every journey into the void. A rather cool premise that should make for a fun story & game. Instead it misunderstands its own assignment and has a tone that does not fit the premise. You're essentially a babysitter for some weird alien lizard babies, while almost every story…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the definition of unsatisfying. So why am I giving it a positive review? I got ~40 hours out of it with my wife. Every system that's in the game is competently done. The shooting feels pretty good. The guns can be upgraded and rebuilt. The voice acting and narration is good, even if I found the humor of "You're going to smack it with a hammer" overused quite a bit. The visuals and sound are great. The animations for the rofleemos is great. I don't like that you aren't able to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game falls short of its potential. It feels more like a concept than a fully developed game, as if the developers haven’t quite figured out how to expand their ideas. The gameplay becomes repetitive very quickly, and from early on, there is little incentive to engage with the different mechanics. There are essentially three resources that matter, and once you’ve stockpiled enough of them, which happens quickly, gathering anything else feels pointless. At that point, the game becomes a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly a disappointing experience, the game have so much potential but everything feels unfinished, the story is not that interesting and there's no choice making or anything, just you being a tool for the story to advance, without any satisfaction for finishing it, the gameplay is great at first but feels very repetitive pretty quickly and it feels like it could be so much more, more evolution, more automation, more customization, but in the end you pretty much need to do as the game…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simply unfun. It's a beautiful game with a wonderful concept, but all of it's positive aspects end there. The combat is awful, the narrative is forced, and overall the game feels boring. I bought the game because I feel in love with the concept, I refunded the game because the concept alone could not save the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you loved Raft, you'll love this. If you got bored with Raft, you'll get bored with this. It's literally Raft except it's a train flying through a void instead of a raft floating through an ocean. You occasionally stop and explore before getting back onto the vehicle. If anything this game is worse than Raft because you don't even have the freedom to choose your direction. You're literally on a rail. Also, the locations you stop at are painfully similar to the point that I'm pretty sure you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Voidtrain is a very odd mix of things, and while I would tentatively recommend it, you should know what you're getting into before you buy. The overall gameplay loop is simple enough - operate a train that rides ethereal rails through a strange void-between-worlds, and gather materials along the way to upgrade and expand your train as you go. This sounded pretty interesting to me, which is why I decided to give the game a try. Now, there is a lot to like. The graphics are beautiful, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is definitely neutral game recommendation as it really has a cool concept, but it incorporates a lot of simplistic mechanics and poor combat with bad AI and a limited "On rails" advancement system (see what i did there?). It isn't a bad game, but it stretches out what it does offer over a long period of time... I only have the hours I have because I started over with the updates. This is before it's 1.0 release, so I am hoping to see something incredible.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The survival/tech progression feels good as you get to the point where you have access to everything. Once you've unlocked everything, you no longer need any resources so half the game feels pointless. Problem is, if you aren't rushing through the game and leaving resources behind and are actually gathering everything as you go, you will hit that point 2/3rds of the way through the story. Then you are just slapping the afterburner and rushing to the next depot on repeat. Right about that time…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The developers took the concept of an open world survival crafting game and asked "What if we removed the open world?" You're doing all the same "collect driftwood and scrap metal to build water pumps to manage your survival meters" gameplay, except there's no exploration it's in service of. Your progress is literally on rails and it leaves you with no sense of agency. You're going to keep driving forward forever, there's no sense of exploration because it's just procedurally generated rocks…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall, it's decent it just doesn't quite come together in a way that justifies the length of the story. The writing itself is good, and the way that the gameplay loop is enhanced with progression does a lot to save the game. But eventually, for me it was towards the end of Chapter 2, the novelty wore off and the crafting/management systems didn't evolve enough to justify further improvements/expansions, for instance, just before I threw in the towel I unlocked the final engine and simply…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finished the main progression (not the storyline, let others tell you about that because), I came here for the train. I love trains. This game doesn't do trains fantastically, but, for a broader audience this is fine. Getting to the train itself from the humble beginning that is a trolley with a "minigame" to push it is funny enough, and then get thrown into five different crafting benches that each require to be powered manually and individually with fuel class items. This is fine, you'd think…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't think I have anything unique to add here that other people have not already mentioned, so I'll keep it brief: The train building is fun and promising, but there is absolutely no depth to this game. You build your train, shoot some stuff, ride along in a single straight line, and then the game ends. It's fun for multiplayer, but that further trivializes the already shallow and simplistic mechanics. It's odd since the visuals are kind of amazing and the game loves to hint at this massive,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Welp. Beat the game! Have no idea what happened. I want to like this game but, I can't recommend it. It's fun for the first few hours but, gets repetitive quickly. The story isn't coherent and it seems like the narrator agrees. For most of the game, you're tethered to a train gathering resources, so a game like that has to keep things interesting, and this game fails to do so. There's a lot of wasted potential. "EXPLORE THE VOID" - this doesn't happen much. Technically you do ...similar to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good idea, but very bad execution Building a base on a moving train through the void sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, the game itself is a huge disappointment. We (my friends and I) went in with high expectations. The trailer and description promised a plot-driven co-op experience. In reality, there’s barely any story, and what exists progresses painfully slowly. The core issue is the gameplay loop: Leave depot → crawl forward at a slow speed → farm loot → reach depot → repeat. It’s…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't normally do reviews but this one definitely fell flat after the first 10hrs for me due to the repetition and the pointless treks to puzzle areas and arenas. Don't get me started on the depots (rinse, repeat). I can't even recommend this on sale. Oh yeah if the train is moving any loose objects keep falling backwards on the train so during a chase you lose 3/4 of the loot anyway so its just a time waster. No real selection of weapons for combat even using crafting its so limited. That…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has a lot of concepts that are super interesting. The Rofleemos, the upgradable train, the void environments, and the general humor and whimsy of everything. That being said, the game is incredibly shallow. Each depot you stop at is a near copy of the one before it. One side has 30 seconds of story (most of which involves your character being locked into clunky animations) and a slot machine. The other side is the exact same landscape repeated into infinity where you kill the exact…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had SO MUCH potential, and I was SO excited to start it... but I was so let down! I know I started with high expectations, but it just feels unfinished. The aesthetics of the game are all over the place. It's steampunk, it's soviet, it's... vikings? It feels like the design team gained a fascination for Norse mythology and needed to fit it in. It starts out a lot like Raft, with a narrator that is trying really hard to be quirky and relatable. It quickly sinks into a painfully…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →beat it and fresh thoughts. game has decent backbone but it shallow in almost every aspect. the gun system is so small it doesnt matter what you have they will die the research system is small, 50 pages of 1 or 2 main things, 2 random things, and 4 cosmetics per page. seems like alot but honestly once you figure how to generate research fast you can crank it out real fast. and not counting cosmetics/decor its pretty much 4 trains, 9-10 production things, and a dlc tourist station. the main…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The gameplay is too repetitive and ironically too linear and on rails since all you can do is keep moving forward until you get to a station that will progress the story, it would be better if you could pick which destination to go to and have a more varied type of stations you can go to. All of the stations other than the story related ones are just copy pasted with the same layout so there's really nothing to look forward to once you've seen them a couple of times. The story is also really…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →⚖️ VERDICT: Like a freight train with too many cars, Voidtrain plods along, bogged down by busywork, unnecessary characters, and frequent failures to fully explain gameplay -- but if you love locomotives, it might be worth the price of a ticket (especially when on sale). ✅ PROS: 🔊 AUDIO The music and sound effects are fun -- especially the menu theme, which mixes instruments with train noises (bells, horns, hisses), David Wise-style. 🖥️ VISUALS Though sparse, linear, and repetitive,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For the value of £25? Its worth it, a ton of love, quality and content in a game for a fair price
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just finished the game at 46 hours of play time. I have 4 achievements to go until 100% at the moment. This game was worth every penny. I only have a few gripes, and most are because of me and not the game. First: I completed the entire tech tree shortly after entering chapter 2. This took my interest in the main gameplay loop from 10 to 0 really fast. This may not be the same for everyone, as I'm a bit of a loot goblin and go crazy on maxing everything out that I can. But after the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd probably recommend it. It's generally good. But giving it a pass personally due to some slightly cumbersome mechanics: crafting doesn't borrow from nearby storage (items must be on self), and the "fuel" mechanic. Also just too many clicks to craft items, on top of there also being an arbitrary countdown to the item to be ready (feel like I'm losing my patience with that mechanic, especially 😆) I'll definitely check back in a year or something. Awesome looking game otherwise.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →God I wanted to like this game, I really did. Me and my friends started this game up off the backs of Sons of the Forest and Raft. The concept sounded neat and it being a travelling hub fit right up there with what we had been playing. The repetitiveness catches up very fast, but that we could handle. Sadly, the main things that brought this game down was the combat/gun mechanics and the plot. The building gun mechanics and now multitude of combat Rofleemo quests feels like they belong in a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm... not sure. It tries to be Breathedge but it is not even close. It tries to be Volcanoids but it is not rewarding. It tries to be Raft but it's too linear and unfun. It tries to do a funny english narrator like Stanley Parable but it's just cringe. Absolutely dull and plastic combat, that is completely unnesessary for the game. Core cycle is not fun, space navigating is not fun. QoL features just started to appear on the last patches, but bruh And all of us wanted for this to work…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My friend and I played like 10 hours before we got bored. The main gameplay loop is incredibly short with a too simple mechanic. Feels like a dev thought "Trains in space" and then stopped thinking.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is now considered "realeased" but lack content, was waiting for it to be more substential, only to find out they distributed the patch for four days before making it a paying DLC, which is ridiculous considering the state of the game. If they needed additionnal revenues to keep devellopping it, there were other ways around than making it a cash grab, this tells me that they,re soon to abandon this game devellopment after they throw in 2-3 more paying patches rather than polish their…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lacklustre combat cut and paste assetts and hyper-repetetive gameplay combined with super slow unrewarding progression make this game a dud.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I thought this game would be like Raft or Breathedge, but jesus is it tedious and unfun to play. Resources are divied out extremely slowly and in small amounts and you need metric tons of them, and the developers response to this is "you don't actually need to do any crafting or building to beat the game, you just go forward through all the story points, so thats why we felt the need to make resources so scarce." Then what even is the point.

unlabelledView post →This game is unambiguously trying to emulate Raft, as many games in this genre do. So I'm going to just compare it to that. TLDR: Raft understood how to be actually fun with its choices in pacing and rewards and threats. This game does not, to a really wild degree. 1) A crucial choice in Raft, that no imitator has acknowledged or successfully carried over, is to let the early game be focused just on survival and building. There are almost no threats, and if there are they are easily dealt…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a wonderful delight. It's not the most groundbreaking in terms of gameplay, but so much of this game brings imagination back to video games in a way that's been largely lost in a sea of copy-paste styles. At its core, you could compare this game to Raft. You have similar premises in being upon a limited building space in the middle of an expanse, having to collect random bits of resources that go by, and even fending off an annoying void shark or six. Beyond that though, this game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This doesn't deserve a "mixed" and idk why people are so harsh on this game. This game is raft on a train and its very cozy in co-op. It could be better, yes, but so could almost every game. I love all the decoration options and the satisfying feeling of making your train really big and customizing it the way you want
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was really enjoying the game but i got a game-breaking bug during a quest which soft-locked me. The only solution is to reload a save from 6 hours ago so i will not be finishng this game. This kind of stuff should never happen outside of a pre-release game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →CRACKING GAME. Thoroughly in depth and has everything you want! Start of simple, gather resources to upgrade and customise your train. As the game goes on, you realise theres much more too it. Puzzle levels requiring different skills, wave survival arenas, hostile train raids and an interesting story made this game so much more than I ever expected from it. Then to be able to gain pets to help you gather, improve smelting and crafting or just sit and play a kazoo, I've enjoyed every minute…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall a game with a lot of potential that doesn't land it. Themeing is spot on, but the game is janky and unpolished. Combat is lackluster and missing any oomf, crafting is incredibly tedious. To make a grappling hook for example you need to: Swim out and collect scrap, wood and chemicals Go to smelter and put wood in smelter Smelt scrap into iron Smelt scrap + chemical into copper Go to work bench and craft iron into spring Use work bench to craft iron into bolts Use workbench to craft…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →To be upfront: the reason I didn't like this was largely due to the lack of a feeling of making my train a home. I felt like I was living on an assembly line for the entire game. The decor options are limited and don't really feel like they're customizing the train to make it train to make it more welcoming so much as just taking up space. I wish they'd been more integrated into it - I'm not the developers so I won't speculate how, but the way every car was an open floor plan made me want to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It feels bland, the tutorial goes on and on, the UI is terrible, everything is too loud and too quiet at the same time, the FOV on ultrawide feels like looking through a mail box slot, the controls feel slightly sloppy and unresponsive, the AI is brain dead and no threat to you ect. This and many more problems make me feel this game is solidly mid, buy on a deep sale at best imo. Or pick up Raft, a much better game that does this same thing.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Voidtrain is a fantastic game in a genre I rarely enjoy. Hypetrain Digital deftly weaves an intriguing, emotional story into a thoroughly enjoyable gameplay loop. It's launching into 1.0 on Xbox Game Pass, and it is well worth checking out solo or with friends. xboxera.com/2025/11/06/v...
unlabelledView post →Not a bad game but very repetitive and short, some of the story was funny and the narrator was a cool thing in the game. Limited customization to your train and no exploring at all really, a few places you could leave the train that were cool but overall i would only recommend this game for kids.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm conflicted on how to write this review. On one hand, the game is very satisfying and the story has moments that are extremely emotional. On the other, the ending is such an exceptional anti-climactic let down that it nearly eclipses the 24-hour long game time. There are also a few lulls and grindy moments as well. So...I mean, it a good time waster, but I felt actual depression after finishing the game because the ending was so bad...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate leaving a negative review just to give a warning for people that can get motion sickness…but this game (even turning off motion blur, head bobbing, camera shake) can make you nauseated if you’re prone to that…or even if you aren’t. Only 2 games in my life (before voidtrain) gave me motion sickness: Soul Reaver 2 and Sea of Thieves. This one did it in under 30 minutes. The tutorial at the start is like your character is a bobble head toy. When I finally got control it was still rough…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That game has given me a lot of fun. Thank you for that experience. I strongly recommend that game for fans of Raft and fans of not stressful survival games. But weapon feels strange. It's not comfortable to use for me. But the void, the sound effects and music, it makes meditative experience. Good story, pleasant humor and Rofleemo. See ya Engineers, do not forget your hammer
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it was a great idea initially, writing was fun, mechanics were new and interesting, world building an scenarios were impressive, all of that for around 2 hours, then it became as boring as hell, I'm about to start act 3 but I cannot wait to finish it just to put it away and forget about it. the game is broken in every sense, the story doesn't make sense for the first 15 hours, by the time the big heart fell connection happens I was long gone, had lost all interest in paying attention, and the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nothing changed since early access it's just a sad loop of the same stuff. It still has game breaking and softlocking bugs to this day that have been reported YEARS ago. Just... don't man
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short game with a ton of character. The sense of humor may be a bit on the nose/juvenile, but if you're into that like I am, definitely check this one out. A bit of copy/paste in some spots, but there's enough diversity in the resources and recipes that it feels forgivable. Oh also, decorating your train and gun customization is a thumbs up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a game with a few cool elements but ultimately something i do not recommend it started out okay, but then after a bit got actually decent with arenas being cool for the first 1-2 times and a train attack on ours which was pretty interesting at the moment it even has some nice visuals, cool atmosphere and some good music so i was actually enjoying it at that point but then as the game went on it just gradually got worse and worse... the game went on to have: a nonsensical story that…
