The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.

Why players love itThings to know
45% of themes are praise33% are divided22% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Because it is so buggy that the current "very positive" verdict of the Steam crowd is a bit too good, and because there is an excellent, mostly bug-free alternative with better presentation, more varied game mechanics, and far more content: Train Valley 2.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Nevertheless, Train Valley 2 manages to start with a reasonably moderate difficulty that draws you in before it progresses to almost insane levels, always taking you with it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics obviously aren't overwhelming, but they are more then good enough for what this game is trying to be.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design is good, providing clear audio feedback to the actions occurring on screen, but these can get repetitive (especially the ding of the train leaving for me).
