UNRAILED!
Unrailed! is a chaotic online and couch co-op multiplayer railroad construction game where you work together with your friends as a team to build a train track across endless procedurally generated worlds. Master encounters with its inhabitants, upgrade your train and keep it from derailing! Gather resources and craft tracks to extend your railroad to prevent your train from reaching the end. But watch out – there is only one tool of each type. Co-operation and co-ordination of your team is essential to survive this increasingly challenging journey! Every world is unique! You and your team will have to master ever new challenges to stay on track! Upgrade your train to be prepared for whatever is about to come. Get an atomic engine, upgrade your crafting wagon, attach a supercharger or choose from a vast range of other options. Play cooperatively with up to four players in a single team or challenge the co-op skills of your friends in a two versus two game.

A wonderfully stressful co-op experience where you get to devastate the countryside for resources to fuel the Intergalactic Railroad.
The game is just the right length, with each new level introducing new mechanics to screw you over.

Unrailed is a fun and fast moving game. It's great for a few people to play, a real cooperative game. I play it with my adult children. We live in different areas and have a date night every week. We have been playing this game for a few months and have worked out roles for each of us. The different environments keep it fresh. The farther in to the game, the faster it goes.
I highly recommend it.

Unrailed! shows that a fun game doesn't require a big budget. Its simplistic game design makes it easy to understand for young and old, while the increasing challenge of the accelerating train keeps it interesting even for hardcore gamers. The game never gets boring because of its procedurally generated maps, which forces you to remain alert about where to build the track and mine resources. One small thing I enjoyed a lot was those exploding fish in the Underwater DLC. They grow in size and explode if you're close to them, but if you time it well, you can dash away and stay alive and basically get a free level 5 dynamite.
There are 4 difficulty levels that vary the amount of resources and bottlenecks. On Easy, it's easy to build the track straight to the right, while on Hard there are more resources and mountains in the way. The Extreme difficulty isn't very fun imo, as it just becomes Bottleneck Simulator. Interestingly, the difficulty levels don't vary the train speeds.
The co-op gives a whole new layer of variety as each online player has their own ideas and skill sets. I recommend to have people join early and not mid or late game because it takes a bit of time to build up the team spirit. Not to mention there is always that small but nonzero chance of getting a troll who destroys your track, which you wouldn't want in late game. I want to note that the multiplayer was programmed very well. You barely notice your high ping even when playing on Asian servers. The game also repairs itself well even when the connection goes bad. I feel like a lot of other games would've desynced and closed the game. You can always rejoin when you are kicked by bad connection.
The game is also surprisingly playable in single player. The bot is not always very smart (shuttling back and forth between two locations as a miner, in rare cases getting stuck behind a lake), and it gets in the way sometimes, but you can give it specific tasks and even set the location for them. I managed to do 2k meters on Easy with just the bot.
My only serious critique is the lack of in-game chat. This makes it impossible to discuss strategy, communicate if you're going for an achievement, or just to tell jokes or compliment your team. I would also simply like to chat with my Chinese comrades. Without in-game chat, the game feels dead.
Their defense may be that they have a Discord server, but I don't think it's sufficient. Not everyone uses Discord to play this game, nor does it work as in-game chat. Besides, Discord isn't really a thing in China.
