What real reviews say
★★ Boring Very little to do in this game.
★ Age restrictions I can’t play it even though I am 48. I am stuck in a loop of trying to reload the game and prove my age. Now I can’t even get the game deleted off of my phone.
★ Speeding up trains doesn’t work Every single time I try to speed up, a train it consumes the fuel, but still takes the same amount of time to get back, or sometimes trains get completely stuck and I have to wait a few minutes, so I’m just losing fuel that I’ve been using
