Train Station Renovation

I've had a lot of fun playing this with my son. It's a good chill way for him to get used to a first person keyboard and mouse control scheme. It also helps that he loves trains. I think he would have liked to see more trains on the levels but overall there was enough interesting things to keep him and me occupied.
Don't take this review as me saying this game is only for kids, I enjoy it a lot myself too. In a similar vein to House Flipper, thankfully the chores don't feel like too much of a chore, especially after some unlocks. Unlike lawnmower simulator, never play that for the love of god.

Train Station Renovation offers satisfying repetetive restoration gameplay with relaxing vibes.
Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)

Train Station renovation is a brain off cleaning simulation game.
Pros:
-Diverse levels/themes
-Calming and relaxing to sort objects.
-If you're into the design aspect its cool to play around with making different decor setups for different stations.
Cons:
-Often doesn't make full use of the diversity of tools. Majority of the gameplay cycle is just picking up trash and putting it in the designated bin. And then putting down the usual decorations/furniture.
-Decoration options are somewhat limited, would be cool to have location specific decoration concepts.
-Trying to 100% levels can be frustrating when small objects can be hard to find and you have to pour over the whole level multiple times to find them.
-Some glitches and a lot of objects clipping, but didn't run into anything gamebreaking.
Overall, Train Station Renovation is essentially just another simulation game. The gameplay will appeal to fans of that genre, but the cycle did get stale for me by about 60% of the way through the game. Other games in the genre have more customization options for those who like the sandbox aspects, but this is not a bad game to crack open when you have the specific craving.
Rating: 5/10

I bought it for 3 euros with the DLC included. Didn't expect to be such a great game. Similar to other games like this, but at the same time u feel like it's something different

Relaxing time-waster where you pretty much do what it says in the title- renovate train stations. The criteria for decorating is pretty lenient so you can be as creative or as boring as you like. And while the satisfaction from cleaning up the entire station is gratifying, the process to get there can be tedious when you don't have a skip nearby and end up walking halfway across an area to deposit some rubble. The game giveth and the game taketh away.

I fancied a change from House Flipper 1 and in comparison, this game is relaxing and has merits in its simplicity but it isn't a design game. You collect rubbish, clean, and install items from a limited list (benches, toilets, clocks). You must add certain items but can add more if you wish. I need to connect a mouse as the 'wheel' button opens the tool selector which is bit glitchy. My main bug bears are that you can't clean and repair everything (eg the grounds, surroundings, exteriors, roof) and the finished station looks grotty because of this. The limited selection of items you can place is frustrating in comparison to House Flipper and I would like a bit more of the 'trains' element. For a relaxing hour after work it's a nice game with heaps of potential to develop the design and creative aspects. There is also a 'toy train' game but have yet to get the train all the way around without derailing! I do recommend so long as you're not expecting to have a sparkling designer station at the end of it.

I wanted a game I can play in the background whilst watching shows/movies and still enjoy both.
It didn't fail me, I was impressed with how easy it was to pick up and it's quite enjoyable with tool upgrades and table upgrades. Can recommend, especially for five dollars!
