Railway Islands 2 - Puzzle

Jogo muito legal!!! Adorei. é um levemente desafiador, mas ao mesmo tempo é bom para passar o tempo e divertido. adorei

Ich habe mir nachdem ich den ersten Teil durchgespielt hatte auch diesen zweiten Teil gekauft. Ich muss sagen, der erste Teil gefällt mir um einiges besser. Zwar sind einige coole und neue Ideen im zweiten Teil verbaut aber die Steuerung, Performance und auch die Texturen sind meiner Meinung nach im ersten Teil um einiges besser. Auch die Weichenmechanik fand ich in Teil 1 um einiges besser umgesetzt.

I think I liked RI 1 slightly better, but it was very complete and left little room for a sequel. So slightly mixing up the puzzle mechanics led to an interesting RI 2. Differences: Trains: - There are levels with 2 or 3 trains. - Stations need to be passed by a specific train. Switches: - Trains can run through switches in the reverse direction regardless of the switch position - There are no more switches with "counters" - There are new remote controlled switches where the trigger is located on another track piece. - You can always set the initial switch position This had some interesting consequences. In RI 1 the levels felt more static. The "puzzle" was only "arranging the tracks". You had only one train to keep track of and could plan out everything. In RI 2 with it's multiple trains, the puzzle almost had 2 "phases". First, you need to find a track arrangement, but then you also need to deal with the switch configuration and make sure that trains don't collide and figure out a good setup for the remote switches. I'd still recommend it if you liked RI 1. The one gripe is that there are now 10 levels less and a few of the latter levels (I think 31-33) are from the first game. So overall RI 2 has less content than RI 1.

Compared to the first game, the puzzles are complexified and this is not a good thing. There are now more than one train, and some junctions are triggered by trains passing on another piece of track, etc... We lose all the relaxing aspect of the first game where most levels could be solved by just observing the shapes. By the second chapter it becomes a head scratcher, which is not relaxing. I just wanted to lay tracks, not brute force junction combinations till I win. And the new tiles manage to be slightly uglier than in the first game

Short, but cool game!

This game is simple, but have their own complexibility. So, i loved. It's a puzzle game, so you need to turn on your btain to start playing. JUST AMAZING!
