Locomoto

Au top !

So, now that I've completed the game and spent hours decorating my train (and doing achievements), there are some things I'd like to edit/correct. It's still a chill game which is good to unwind with, but not really worth the asking price. Pros: -Great soundtrack; the music is chill and perfect for vibing -Colorful world -Simple graphics made well; it's not graphically complicated, but still looks nice -Easy to grasp gameplay -Simple controls -Paint and decorate your train -Talking to NPCs feels fulfilling (at first) -Manual saving at any time -Character creator has a wide range of choices, a good amount of colors, and you can rename your character at any time (or completely change your look). You can do this at any station with a Photo Booth -Clothing variety is good, and more can be unlocked as you progress -People of all ages can enjoy it -It works well on the Steamdeck (though it does burn through the battery) -Use currency travelers give you to buy more supplies from various supply stations -Utilize recycling bins to earn more currency tokens -Many locations have tools you can use at that location laying around somewhere -You can make differently colored items depending on the type of wood and metal you use when crafting it (fabric color being the more obvious one) -The map is easy to interact with, and (thankfully) passengers don't complain if they're stuck taking the long way to get somewhere because the person you just boarded is asking you to go to the station you were just at -It's kind of fun to pick up trash upon arrival at a new station to make it look nice -There's a demo available, so you can try before you buy (just note that the demo has a different "story" to it, and you cannot transfer your demo save to the actual game) -Various ways to learn new blueprints, from finding them to breaking apart items -- Cons: -Bag space is EXTREMELY limited; you only get 6 slots, and stack-able items only go up to 4 per stack. Much of my time is spent walking back and forth between my storage car and the town -There's no sprint/run button. This gets very tiring in the locations with wider/bigger areas, having to just stroll back and forth between your train and a location (usually due to your inventory filling up) -The camera can be a bit wonky at times, especially if a tree is blocking it -When it comes time to dumping the trash collected in your recycling bag, you have to set the bag down and pull out each individual item to put it in the correct bin -Most of your time between stations is spent running back and forth for coal. Although you can store 16 pieces up front, you need to restock that often --This is especially true towards the end -There's no way to preview a furniture item before making it to see if you like the color combination, and it takes a while to obtain the advanced crafting table -There's really not enough room in your storage car if you want to be able to walk in it -Decorating is very clunky; there were many times when I wanted to put an item on the top shelf but no amount of any nudging or "moving up/down a layer" allowed me to get the item there -The final/hidden achievement is not intuitive and absolutely would require a guide -Fishing is absolutely pointless; there's nothing to do with the fish you catch, and the only reason to ever fish is to find train cars or hope you reel up an item -Veggies can be picked and fruit can be collected from trees, but again this is another feature which likely had some purpose in creation and now has none -The final part of the main story quest is incredibly anticlimactic; disappointing, even Other: -There might be a bug on McGruff's trains quest; the final one in the supposed location is not there for me. A lot of other people have had issues with this quest as well -The studio which made the game is breaking up, so aside from maybe a bug fix here and there, no new content will ever be added to this game -- Overall, the main story takes perhaps between 6-8 hours to complete if you only focus on that. I got sidetracked a lot, and so it took me about 10 hours to finish the main story (with the rest of the time being spent on achievements, sidequests, and checking over and over again for a train car model which should be there but isn't before I gave up). Most of your time here will be spent on the side missions and just going back and forth between stations for one reason or another. All in all, I'd recommend this to fans of the cozy genre, folks who like trains, or people just looking for a good game to unwind/destress with. I have yet to feel too frustrated over it (minus grumbling about bag space and not being able to run, as well as the missing train car model). Once again, however, I do not feel that this game is worth its asking price of $25; mostly due to how simple the gameplay loop is.

very chill and easy to play.

I love this game! It's so cute, so fun. I love the customization options for the player character and all the ways you can decorate your train. The story is simple and sweet, easy to follow along with and easy to come back to after collecting a train car full of iron for your lights. I really recommend this game to anyone who likes cute, cozy games.

Bei manchen Spielen wünsche ich mir eine mittlere Möglichkeit. Zwischen nicht schlecht aber auch nicht gut. In dieses Spiel habe ich ein wenig mehr Hoffnung gesetzt, es ist Cozy Caravan sehr ähnlich. Das was mich einfach tierisch davon abhält weiterzumachen ist der wenige Platz im Inventar und mehr Botengänge und Quests in jeder Stadt, sodass du wegen jeder Kleinigkeit dutzende Male irgentwo halten musst und nicht voran kommst weil mehr reinkommt als rausgeht. Mir persönlich hätte ein Mittelding daraus voll gereicht. Ein PAAR Quests und Botengänge aber doch nicht totgeschmissen werden :(. Wenn ich das abgearbeitet habe hab ich keine Lust auf garnichts mehr. Ich liebe den Zugführeraspekt und ein wenig zu dekorieren, aber sonst sind mir einige Dinge einfach zu rau. Und ist es so gedacht seine 13 Holz, 6 Eisenbarren, 9 Kupfer, 12 andere Erze sowie 2 mitgenommende billo Anfangslampen auf einen Haufen zu werfen der jeglichen Platz terminiert wärend die Deko einfach nur zum gucken ist und keinen Stauraum bietet?! Ich möchte ein stinknormaler Tierschaffner sein und kein Rind für alles das nicht mal blickt wo vorne und hinten ist.
