Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Except the twist is there's a story and intrigue where you work for the Russian Mafia and also have to complete tasks like blowing up a bridge you just crossed.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The truth is that there is only about an hour of gameplay here so it's more of an extended demo than anything real, and if you've previously played the demo, there's not much more content here, but if the devs can continue to add interesting jobs, things to do and places to go, then this could be the next great survival life sim when it finally hits early access.

Graphics is adequate, I hope they will add raytracing in the future.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
the window with them (or else 1 shot from a Kalashnikov and you have to freeze and go to another cabin) you should also improve your inventory so that you can immediately put it from a quick slot into a large inventory and vice versa, and in the distant future add multiplayer so that you and your friend can control 1 train because there is a 2nd place in the cabin it would be fun
