Train Valley Origins

[h2] A "Origem" que esqueceu o que aprendeu pelo caminho [/h2] Acompanho a franquia desde o primeiro Train Valley e, na época, fiquei encantado. A mecânica era simples, mas o design visual era belíssimo, oferecendo um respiro e um diferencial real em comparação a outros jogos de gestão de tráfego, como Mini Metro. Quando o Train Valley 2 chegou, parecia que a série tinha atingido seu ápice: tudo o que era bom foi aprimorado, e a introdução da industrialização (processar matéria-prima para gerar novos materiais) trouxe uma camada estratégica fascinante. Infelizmente, a trajetória recente tem sido frustrante. O Train Valley World cometeu o erro capital de remover as colisões — a alma do jogo — quebrando qualquer expectativa de evolução. As notícias de que o Origins "traria a glória de volta" me deram esperança, mas o resultado é outra decepção. Embora as colisões tenham retornado, perdemos toda a complexidade industrial do 2 e do World. Voltamos ao sistema de "trens aleatórios" do primeiro game, mas sem o frescor daquela época. No fim das contas, considero o Origins um retrocesso tão grande que consegue ser pior que o World. Falta substância para um título que carrega esse nome.

Le moins intéressant de la série, à mon sens, avec des quêtes limitées et répétitives sur un plateau tout riquiqui.

The game is relaxing and fairly easy. I never even crashed a train. But despite that, it just didn't click with me. One problem is readability. Many of the colors look too similar, so it's easy to send a train to the wrong station. Auto-scheduled trains are also easy to miss because there's poor indication that you need to launch them manually before small timer runs out. There are quite a few bugs too. Sometimes a section of track is highlighted in red, telling you that you don't have enough money to build it, but moving the mouse back and forth suddenly makes it build just fine. Building tracks can also get stuck repeatedly playing the error sound until you right-click. Bridges are another mystery. Sometimes you can build one, sometimes you can't, even on what appears to be the exact same terrain, same tile, same spot. It feels like there's an invisible obstacle blocking construction. The polish is lacking in other places as well. The tutorial even uses different types of apostrophes in its text. Train animations also look strange. They wobble around corners like they're about to tip over, and they constantly pulsate like cartoon trains. It's a very odd artistic choice, and I don't remember anything like that in the first two games. I collected every star, yet I still didn't unlock all the trains. I was also about 20 XP short of the next level. Am I really expected to grind community maps just to unlock the remaining content? The unlockables aren't interesting enough to justify that, and some of the achievements feel completely pointless. Overall, it's kind of a "meh." It tries to recreate what made Train Valley 1 and 2 so enjoyable, but it falls short. If you really loved the first two games, you might still enjoy this one. It's relaxing enough. But for me, it just didn't hit the spot.

Hervorragend. Orientiert sich wieder an den allerersten Teil, welchen ich vom Spiel-Prinzip am besten fand. Die beiden Nachfolger unterschieden sich doch sehr stark vom ersten Teil, da diese eher auf Produktionsketten setzten. Hier geht es wieder mehr um die optimale Route um bestimmte Güter von A nach B zu bringen und dazu parallel die Weichenstellungen im Auge zu haben. Ich fand den ersten Teil zwar grafisch schöner aber das passt trotzdem so weit. Schön wären noch mehr Level vom Entwickler selbst. Der Editor ist natürlich dennoch ein toller Bonus. Kleiner Kritikpunkt: Teilweise gibt es kleine Ruckler im Spiel, hier besteht noch eventuell etwas Optimierungsbedarf. Nichts dramatisches aber man merkt es trotzdem. Fazit: Insgesamt ein würdiger Nachfolger des ersten Teils, der den alten Spirit zurück bringt. Daumen hoch.

Simples, divertido e viciante

This game is decent, but I'm nearly done, and just came off a 700+ hour play of TV2. This game is much simpler and while nice, doesn't fully scratch that itch. I could ask for more DLC here but if I'm honest, I'd rather have it in TV2.

楽しい線路敷設・列車運送ゲーム。 過去のシリーズ作品と同様の感覚でプレイでき、演出面は強化されている。 列車同士が激突しても[b]『誰も怪我をしていない』[/b]と明言されており、安心して衝突できる。

if you like progressively faster, semi idle flash like games, then this is great. But not my kind of game.

....logická oddychovka...občas ma naštve...
