After two years ferrying tiny passengers round in early entry, Tracks – The Family Friendly Open World Train Set Game (to make use of its full identify) left pre-release station earlier at present. Forget you’re nicely into maturity for a second and quiet down on the digital carpet, tip open the toybox, and bask in a long-forgotten nostalgia whilst you put collectively a fun-sized picket village. Isn’t that good?
It seems completely pretty, dunnit? Tracks is constructed round creating dioramas. Not the kind of meticulous recreation of the English countryside your wealthy uncle has tidied away within the basement. Rather, it’s a childhood toybox gone wild, stuffed with easy picket trains, tracks, towers and such.
That trailer is filled with extra naturalist creations – constructing convincing little villages on verdant inexperienced fields. Rubbish, I say! Tracks offers a lounge map, and I anticipate you to make use of it. Where’s the enjoyable when you’re not risking dropping villagers down the again of the couch?
In the 2 years since we last looked at Tracks, that toybox has exploded. There’s a trove of recent buildings, foliage and varied doodads, whereas tracks can now characteristic boosters, bells and the like. You can likewise tweak the setting additional, including foggy atmospherics and altering the terrain.
Besides crafting a picket wonderland, it’s also possible to hop into the motive force’s seat and ferry passengers by city your self. There’s a light-weight game aspect there, the place you’ll have to constructed a route from one cease to the following, however it’s all fairly relaxed. Not practically as irritating as Mini Metro’s transit juggling antic, I’d reckon.
Tracks is obtainable now on Steam and Itch for £15/€17/$20.
