Expected a comfy game. Got an incredibly stressful game. Gradually became a comfy game with practice. Will make you rage at your friends.

Unrailed is an absolute blast. Total must-buy. My wife and kids (ages 5 to 14) can all jump in and play, and we’ll sit around the Steam Link with four controllers just having a great time. Lots of yelling, chaos, laughing — it’s perfect family gaming. Highly recommend.

Grab a friend and prepare to scream at each other while desperately laying down tracks inches away from a moving locomotive! Managing resources, avoiding hazards, and fighting the engine's constant overheating makes for an amazingly chaotic co-op experience. Friendship-ruining in the best way possible.

THE SNOW BIOME CAN SUCK IT. 0/10. haha, jk Played this with 3 friends and friendships were tested. Accusations flying everywhere over why something wasn't done when it was probably all 3 of us not communicating enough and dropping one of the things we needed to do. We came out on the other side of this experience better friends. Apologies were made in the end about some of the things that were said. It was fun but I …

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played this game with my kids (4 and 5) and they actually understand it. I find it so hard to find a game that a kid can play that isn’t honestly complete crap so that’s why I’m glad this one has simple enough mechanics that you can kind of just tell them to do one thing and they will get it. Even outside of having kids it’s honestly really fun to figure out how far you can get and the strategies you need to do to get there, kind of a easy to learn difficult to master type thing. It’s so…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually play solo, I like that the bot is actively working on exactly what you want it to do. Even cooling down the train or fending off cows and thieves. The easy and medium modes are great for single-player. I haven't tried hard on solo. So far the different biomes have their unique quirks that continue making the game interesting.

Pros: - very accessible UI- and hardware-wise, difficulty options for everyone - fun biomes, good artstyle, interactive UI is really cool - different game mechanics besides laying tracks to keep you on your toes (animals, "enemies", bridging gaps, water wagon etc.) - family friendly, lots of different characters to choose from and to unlock -…

I was sure it wasn't my type of game... but after playing it for just a short time, I fell absolutely in love with it's mechanics, ambiance, and overall design. The characters are just too adorable, and the sound effects put into each part of the game give me little shivers of excitement as I play! This game is an absolute banger for duo gameplay with your bestest friend. Especially if your bestest friend takes it just…

We don't know this word - Too many menus of settings, you got easily confused. - Sandbox mod is USELESS because you can only test what you already bought in normal mode. Why would I test something I already know ? - Absolutely zero possibility of personalization*, so boring. Or maybe there is but the configuration is just so dumb that you don't want to search for it. *Apart of difficulty level and character skin. - The hitbox and perspective can be messy (POV : you are mining…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was just visiting a friend of mine last sunday with my SteamDeck and we played [Unrailed!](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1016920/Unrailed/) the whole day :D The SteamDeck is THE perfect, portable fun-games-machine to just take with you. And every sale there's another few local-splitscreen-multiplayer games on sale, my library is scared already. If you did not live through the time of "going to your friends to play games", this is your ticket to a past you sadly never got to experience.
positive · AI labelView post →Appleseed's Indie Game Of The Day! Day 65) Unrailed by Indoor Astronaut Fast paced but easy to hyper focus on, you just build rails from start to end and deal with any challenges in the way. It’s actually surprisingly cozy for being so fast paced.

Aptitude is a TUI front-end for APT that gives you a menu-based system in the terminal. Synaptic (not to be confused with the trackpad driver) is a GUI front-end for APT. I game on Linux Mint.

positive · AI labelView post →This is pretty much how life feels. Just constantly laying down tracks before a train that never stops moving. Oh, it starts slow, and you can hoard resources to try and be ready. But it never stops. What makes it possible to keep going, then? It's the friends you have to help you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first UNRAILED game was excellent, but the sequel is a tremendous upgrade. The roguelike elements are fun and original, a bit overwhelming at first, then adding a lot of depth to this rail-building Overcooked experience. store.steampowered.com/app/2211170/...

neutral · AI labelView post →Good game. Would Recommend, saw Mark Edward Fishbach playing it and thought it looked fun so it's for sure worth a download.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun gameplay loop. There isn't a ton of content but the core mechanics keep you hooked and it stays hard, even once you discover the milk wagon (iykyk). Definitely recommend, especially if you have friends to play with and can get it at a discount (I bought it at just 2,99€). Music is also a banger.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A fun, simple coop game all about getting as far with your train as you can. Overall, the RNG makes every playthrough different and gives you different obstacles to overcome. It is fairly simple as making the path is usually done in the same way. But its fun to play with friends and its a nice change if you dont know what to play with people. I can recommend this game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So genshin impact's new user generated content mode is definitely a thing that exists I played a rock paper scissors death tournament, a *really* solid Unrailed clone, and a very very janky sliding puzzle game And found out there's an inexplicable foot fetish emote

neutral · AI labelView post →Easy to learn, fun to master. Simple controls and controller-friendly make this a cozy (but challenging) co-op game. Online community is limited but friendly.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was really fun to play with husband and some friends! I would even classify it as friend slop because its easy to pick up and go. My biggest gripe with it is it gets a little bit repetitive after a while, but that's just what the game is. I would recommend it for a few hours of playing with some friends! Finished?
