User reviews & Ratings
Explore reviews from Steam users sharing their experiences and what they love about the game.
While the first game depends on some random elements that I do not really like, this game looks like the designers finally found a genre that fits there game engine much better. They replaced random trains, randomized start landscapes and the dynamic landscaping ( that could break your tracks and any train on it) with fixed landscapes and locations you have to connect to solve the given tasks. While I really like the game I find the landscapes hard to read. You really have to play each level once or twice before you know where you can place a track and where not. I'm missing a checkpoint system so you can experiment with the tracks and go back to a previous checkpoint if it doesn't work. I remember people complaining about a very similar problem related to the old Rollercoaster Tycoon games by Chris Sawyer, but there you could always save the game before wasting time and money while testing your layout and then use what you learned after restarting from saved game.

Train Valley 2 is a tricky puzzle and trickier management game in which you can either optimize production or watch your trains explode. As an efficiency junkie, I play this during lunch to get my fix. Gameplay The base game includes 50 levels, a level editor, and workshop support. You start each level with some trains and a fistful of cash, and must supply at least one City with at least one type of Resource before time runs out. Earn up to five (5) stars per level by meeting restrictive time limits and additional requirements like "don't place more than 110 tracks" or "don't build bridges." The bulk of the game is tight resource and time management. Tracks, bridges, tunnels, and train upgrades are expensive, so you need to constantly ferry people and resources between stations to increase your income; but if you don't pay attention to switches or timing, trains will travel to the wrong stations or crash (detonating the trains, resources, and tracks). It's simultaneously hilarious and frustrating because you've just lost a bunch of resources and that clock is still tick-tick-ticking away. What Works For Me ✅ Straightforward keyboard shortcuts allow you to easily switch between build modes. ✅ Ability to pause the timer to give yourself space to think, strategize, and also fight with track placement. ✅ Placing tracks. ✅ If you enjoyed making maps in Sim City 3000, the level editor is going to blow your mind . ✅ Love the train sounds. What Doesn't Work For Me ❎ Achievements addicts beware: some of the 104 achievements are from DLC. ❎ Low poly map is great but, compared to the original Train Valley , it can be harder to see where you can and cannot place tracks. If you're colorblind or your monitor sucks, this could be an issue. Final Thoughts My villain origin story will probably involve missing a five-star rating by one second for the hundredth time. Other than that, I love TV2; it scratches that efficiency itch while the star system drives my inner perfectionist to insanity. There's something incredibly satisfying about watching trains and resources move across the map, managing supply chains and connecting different routes, and yes, I kinda do this for a living, but it's a lot more fun as a game. I was initially concerned that it would only take a few hours to beat 50 levels, and maybe it does if you're a super-genius or don't care about getting five stars every time, but I've logged 26 hours and am still fighting my way through level 20 (seriously: one second shy of perfect, three times in a row). Levels take ~20-30 minutes if you abuse the pause button. Side note: The hours logged and levels have changed four times since I started writing this review because I kept opening the game to "critically evaluate" it and getting hyper-focused on levels instead. Recommendation Train Valley 2 is perfect for anyone who enjoys puzzles, efficiency, and timers. It improves on the original in every way and, as levels get more complicated, it feels a bit like speed-running an automation game. I do not recommend this if timers make you anxious or if you're a weirdo who hates trains.

(This is a revised version of my answer to a 3rd party survey.) There are many reasons why I enjoy TV2 so much. It is a game that is simple to understand, with very clear rules. All the mechanism are easy to comprehend, at any point in time you know what is going on on the game map. But, even though the rules are simple to understand, the actual gameplay can become really complicated and difficult to manage. Especially in the lategame where you have many trains and need to manage to keep them from crashing, there is a lot to look out for at any moment. This combination of easy rules but complicated gameplay is something I personally enjoy very much. In TV2, the amount of pure knowledge that you need is rather low, it is more about how you combine it to produce the best result. This leads to the next reasons why I like TV2. For me, it is a game about optimisation, finding the perfect strategy and trying to execute it. When I open a new level, I spend a lot of time analysing it. There are a few aspects that you need to find in each level. The most important one is usually to identify the bottleneck, that is, the resource that will be the limiting factor of getting faster. This can be the train capacity, money to build tracks, train throughput to a critical factory, uptime of a factory, worker production and more. Then there can be additional constraints or challenges, like difficult topography, space constraints for building track layouts, or time constraints of some kind. Identifying these challenges, analysing them and finding a solution how to handle them is what makes TV2 so much fun to me. I also really like the 5-star system together with the statistics overview when you beat a level. This tells you not only that you beat the level, but also how good your solution is. I think it is very suitable for a wide range of players. Starting from those who just want to beat the level, to those who want to get all 5 stars, to those (including me) who strive to maximise one or all of the statistics. I definitely spend most of my game time not on beating a level, but on getting a 100% (game time) rating in each level. This is where I get really competitive and try to do everything to reach my goal. It can be really frustrating to restart a level over and over again because even a small mistake can break your run. But it is all worth it, because for me the best part is to finally see the "100%" after trying to optimise a level for hours. As a side note, it is really helping that there is little to no randomisation in the game, basically everything is deterministic. (Thinking about it, only the train order in the Passenger Flow DLC comes to mind as an exception of this.) This allows you to find an optimal solution that will work in each playthrough and can be refined or repeated. As a friend said once, "it is a puzzle game", and I really see it as such. When thinking about longterm enjoyment or replayability of the game, there is a lot of variety in the levels. This can be through unique challenges or constraints as described above, but also through the different kind of goals. Particularly, some of them force you to play differently from your normal play patterns. Additionally, the DLCs bring in some new gameplay, but also reduce the simplicity I was praising earlier. So I have mixed opinions of them, but in general I enjoy the new elements they bring. Some final thoughts that make me enjoy the game even more, even though they are not the most important points: - It is well made, has very few bugs, cute simple graphics and a nice soundtrack. - The key bindings are great, after playing TV2 for such a long time I do not need to think about them at all while I use them. - In contrast to the simplicity of the game that I already talked about, there are a few lesser known mechanisms and techniques that are good to know or even neccessary to beat some of the advanced levels. I actually recently found quite some enjoyment in exploiting some of them to improve my solutions.

A lovely puzzle game with an almost unlimited amount of content due to community creation of levels. It doesn't quite have the charm of the first TV game, but the increased content makes up for that.

At first, I was just looking for a game to play with trains. But when I found Train Valley 2, I fell in love with the puzzle aspect right away. No matter if you're a casual player or like to fully optimise and shave off the last few seconds of level time, you'll definitely be happy with this game. With 50 levels for only 12.49€ it's well worth it. Additionally, there are more than 2500 Workshop levels that offer a near-endless amount of puzzles. Furthermore, there are a bunch of paid DLCs that introduce new game mechanics and a load of new levels each, so you'll never run out of new stuff to play. The devs are also doing an exceptional job at keeping the community engaged, by hosting competitions for the lowest level time in a selected Workshop level twice every week and also weekly and monthly level design contests with actual prize money to be won. I personally didn't think I'd like trying to get very low level times at first, but after completing the campaign, I just joined the competitions anyway. Due to the very friendly, family-like community, I was feeling very welcome and by discussing with the others and watching the solution videos from the top players, I quickly learned how to optimise correctly. This way I played hundreds of hours in these competitions, became one of top players and Train Valley 2 became my absolute favourite PC game.
