Feb. 2025

A great little brain teaser with 12 levels plus a secret one. There are hints in the accessibility area to guide you. There is something calming about watching a train go from A to B. The complexity in the tracks increase and made my brain melt many times. A charming little game to pop in and out of. Very cute graphics and suitable for all ages. I was having trouble popping the last achievement, but a secret level was cleverly hidden away and I finally got it. Yay! 8/10

Three questions: -Do you like trains? -Do you like challenging puzzles? -Do you like cute artwork with dog train conductors as the main protagonists? If you said yes, you should definitely try this game. If no, well have a good day then (...but you're missing out)

This is a fun game with a cute art style and deceptively hard puzzles on later levels. I like the game, but I think my kids are better at it than me. I got stuck on one level around the mid-game, but then my son picked it up and beat the remaining levels.

Railbound was an absolute joy to play. As someone who loves solving puzzles, I found its challenges both engaging and extremely satisfying. What really stood out to me, though, was the game’s charm - beautifully crafted with cozy visuals and a kindhearted story that gently unfolds as you progress. There’s something so calming about piecing together tracks while enjoying the cheerful soundtrack and whimsical art. For me, Railbound was the perfect escape: a relaxing yet rewarding experience that I didn’t want to end. If you love puzzles or just need a bit of joy in your day, I can’t recommend it enough!

June 2024

I noticed a lot of the reviews for this game (particularly negative reviews) commented that it descends into trial and error. I would like to push back on that. It is true that you need to put pieces out on the board to solve the puzzles. Doing it your head would be a bit masochistic, to my mind, unless you're a champion chess player who's used to mapping out visual fields in your imagination. But putting pieces down on the board to see what happens isn't necessarily trial and error. Once the pieces are down, if you only change things randomly to see if you solve the puzzle, THAT is trial and error. But I am completing these puzzles not by randomly changing things but by tweaking elements of the puzzle after carefully observing what went wrong and devising a strategy to correct it, often by learning how certain shapes can be deployed to create certain types on movement. For instance, learning how to creatively place 4 track loops to reverse a train on its course travelling one way, while letting it pass directly over passing the other, is a key to many puzzles. That is not 'trial and error', that is iterative design. I am still only a quarter through the game, but I feel like I can see the rhythm of things, and I am passing all the A, B and C puzzles without trouble using this method. You don't seem to need to resort to trial and error, IMHO.
