I think this to be the weakest of Afterburns four games that are currently out (Golf Peaks, Inbento, Pup Champs). Where the other games feel like solving a puzzles backwards with deductions based on possible positions, this game feels often very simple or very confusing and frustrating. There is a timing/counting aspect to some of the puzzles, and when the numbers become too high and too spread out to think about, you end up brute forcing your way through the puzzles until it works. One of the levels, you have to put all the tracks in a circle and switch the levers to make a bunch of separate cars do their own loops in a specific sequence that I still don't understand in hindsight. I swear to god I watched a car go in a circle 8 times and somehow that was the solution. Without the timing and counting, it's pretty easy to just lay the tracks in the right spots. There's no way to skip the hard levels and come back either, you just get trapped in these puzzles sometimes, which is bad when they feel like random nonsense. Do I hate difficult puzzles? Am I stupid? Is Railbound objectively less good than afterburns other games? Hopefully someday science will be able to answer these questions. Until then, we have steam reviews. I leave a thumbs up because I like the first few areas, but those later areas really hurt to play through. I feel more mixed than positive about Railbound.
"Railbound is a comfy track-bending puzzle game" Comfy? There are some pretty gnarly puzzles here, which is fantastic - but don't be misled. Most games like this do tap out before things get genuinely tough, but Railbound has some tough levels as the game progresses. These are levels that reward deliberate planning and careful changes. I'm not entirely confident these tough puzzles are entirely a good thing: some of the puzzles dipped into frustrating territory for me. In such circumstances I didn't feel like I was progressing my understanding or feeling clever when I finally got there, just dealing with... work. For the most part I enjoyed this game, so it's a light recommendation - but be warned if you are interested in getting to 100% completion: it's not a comfy stroll to the finish.
It’s a cozy puzzle game where you act like a train engineer. Your job is to connect train cars in the right order without them crashing. The game starts easy and relaxed, but it slowly gets harder. Later levels need more thinking and planning. In each level, you place tracks, start the train, and watch what happens. Sometimes it works, but sometimes the trains go the wrong way or get stuck, so you have to try again and fix your plan. A big part of the game is testing different ideas and undoing your tracks when things don’t work. It often takes a few tries to get it right. You need to slow down and think carefully instead of rushing. Sometimes you even have to change your whole idea when it doesn’t work. Overall, it’s a calm and fun puzzle game where you learn by trying, failing, and trying again!
