Train Station Renovation

Renovate the train station, now in Germany as well. It's a non-original, but quite solid relaxation simulation.

Train Station Renovation is a very hilarious simulator that offers the rebuilding of ten train stations. The game is sophisticated, offering a wide range of tools and tasks, unfortunately the selection of furniture and other items needed for the renovation of the premises is a bit smaller. The waste sorting is interestingly handled. Graphically, the game keeps the average, even the controls could be a hair better. A big help are the updates that are still coming out and the upcoming expansion.

As I mentioned the graphics aren’t groundbreaking. The audio in the game also won’t whisk you into a world of your own. But don’t let that discourage you from playing Train Station Renovation. It’s a very relaxing game which I have sunk many hours into. It is definitely a game that can help you if you’re struggling with any mental health problems or de-stress. Kind of like PowerWash Simulator which Dan previewed here. The gameplay definitely makes up for the standard graphics and audio. I award Train Station Renovation the Thumb Culture Silver Award.

Train Station Renovation allows every fan of renovation to convert different abandoned train stations into large areas that allow passengers to spend a pleasant stay before leaving for their destination.

Not a lot of people in the gaming industry know that my day job is currently on the railway. So when I saw Train Station Renovation was releasing on Xbox I had to jump at the chance of playing it. It’s no secret that the railway network in the UK isn’t the best in terms of infrastructure and speed. Delays galore in built-up areas and signalling problems in the more challenging rural areas of the country. The truth is that the railway takes complex logistics to run. It is almost like a giant jigsaw puzzle, if one piece goes missing or wrong then the remainder is in a sticky situation.

‎Train Station Renovation is a fun and relaxing game, in which the player marks his times. With a correct visual section, without major failures and that is presented as a fresh and different setting for all types of players.‎

Don’t be fooled into thinking Train Station Renovation is just for railheads. Give it a chance and it’ll be the most fun you’ve had cleaning up someone else’s mess.

Train Station Renovation killed all my enthusiasms for PlayWay’s simulators. It is a painfully repetitive and uninspired experience. Worst of all, due to technical problems and half-baked ideas for gameplay mechanics, it is simply not fun.

While many people look to games to provide out-of-this-world experiences, there are also those who enjoy getting away from their own lives even if only to complete real-world tasks...

A solid and relaxing simulation game that focuses on restoring Train Stations. However the bugs and simplicity of the gameplay weaken a rather enjoyable experience.
