Rolling line is a fantastic and unique train game. I had rolling line in my steam library for quite a while and mostly overlooked it until I within the past few months noticed updates and was looking for another game to play. However, after ten hours into the game currently as I’m writing this review, I have to say that I enjoy what it has to offer. It is basically a virtual train set game where you can pick the layouts you want by downloading content made by the rolling line community in the steam workshop or you can design and create your own layout and track options from scratch. Theres also a ton of rolling stock available off the workshop as well and I really like the American locomotives and rolling stock. The routes made by the community are really well done as well. Some real American trainlines such as Blue Island, Illinois, majove pass and many others. Theres also a good amount of fictional layouts/routes as well such as my personal favorite, the polar express. The recent Christmas update and the Christmas train is so awesome as well! I went to see the real one a few years ago, and it’s nice seeing it and being able to drive it on my virtual train set. The controls for this game were I have to say a bit of a learning curve for me. I had to take some time to figure them out, but I eventually got it and mastered the controls. (Tools, track placement, operating trains etc). I had to watch a few videos on YouTube, do the tutorials and google things as well which wasn’t bad. I personally did not like the VR menu mode at first, because I thought you could not turn it off, but eventually I discovered you could. Overall, I think it’s a fun and unique game for any transportation lover or train fan, or if you’re looking for another game to play on steam. Ill definitely be playing rolling line more often. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3630876668 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3630876692

I love this game, it's amazing. It's very cozy and charming. However...I can only give like 3.5/5 because there are just too many annoyances, biggest one by far is the lack of an undo command. BRO I WILL LITERALLY GIVE YOU $100 FLAT OUT IF YOU ADD AT LEAST 1-STEP UNDO. PLS. The other gripes are much more minor, limited sound customization (and weird pitching), and the bizarre physics. The train will accelerate reasonably at low speeds, but then suddenly accelerate at over 10 mph/s, which is insane.

There is so much to talk about with this game. I adore this game so much and it really scratches that Railroad itch inside me. I am a train enjoyer and this game has it all. If you love model railway building, or yard operations, or railfanning or messing around with road vehicles like cars and vans, get this game. And if your ever tired of the in game models you can create your own livery's. And if those aren't enough go to the Steam Workshop where people make some very incredibly detailed models. The game can really get as detailed and realistic as you desire. (at the time I'm writing this) This game also has pretty frequent updates that satisfy every time. Even just quality of life improvements like the recent Gravity Physics Update. This game though is ultimately centered around model trains. Its an amazing model railway building game and is a great substitute for physically building a model railway. Anyone that even just touches the hobby knows that it comes with a large price tag. $20 isn't too bad for a limitless model railway building simulator. Many awesome layouts were created in Rolling line and are available via the Steam Workshop. But then I have to bring up the question of why not buy other model railway creating games? Because all this is made by one dedicated Developer who puts in lots off effort to make this game smooth and reliable and crash-resistant and beautiful. I recommend this game twice over as a model train enthusiasts dream workshop and yard operation simulator. This game also has a lot of cool Easter-eggs (both literally and figuratively actually) to find that make the game fresh when you discover them. Have fun with the game :D

You don't need a lot of space, it's very moddable. relatively cheap, and doesn't have any paid DLCS. Yea, I'm looking at you over there Trainz 2019. Point is, Rolling Line is great, because it's a sandbox train game, not a simulator, and for me, a casual sandbox game player, is all I need. things I wish were in the game Multiplayer: I'm working on a map project with a friend, and it's not that easy because there is no multiplayer, so the only way we can work on it is by sending eachother updated versions of the original map save untill we're done. I don't really have any cons to RL, it's just amazing, especially for a indie developer.

This is seriously one of the most well made video games out there! It’s so incredibly fun and has endless possibilities for building whatever you imagine. While it may appear as a model train game, it’s really open to making whatever worlds you can think of. That’s what it really is: A worldbuilding game. Build whole cities, wild west towns, bridges across giant ravines, a highway across an open plain, a gigantic steel mill or a tiny mining site. Link it all together with the automation circuits and make an adventure map! Add in industries to deliver cargo to and from! Build a massive train yard and spend hours switching freight around! I can not say it enough: There is no end to what you can do in this game. The community is amazing too. There are literally thousands of player-made custom trains, props, and other doohickies on the workshop for you to mess with if the in-game items aren’t to your satisfaction. The people are all quite friendly, and you can always get help and advice from the discord members. The game’s solo developer, Franks, is also seriously one of the best game devs out there. He keeps this game regularly updated with new content and bug fixes, all in amazing quality. He communicates with the community so well and tells us about everything that is going on behind the scenes. He just released a major new map AHEAD of schedule! I could never manage to praise this guy and the amazing game he has created highly enough. I personally guarantee a positive experience with this game, especially including its development and community.
