Luitenant_Gruber Unrailed! Review
Jan 5, 2026
Fun game with fresh concept.
(Played via Remote Play)
There are many small indie games out there, many of them with exactly the same concept, idea, game mode etc. However, Unrailed! has something unique. You need to transport a train from point A to point B, while completing the tracks under its wheels.
You need to collect stone and wood to build tracks, cool down the engine from time to time using a water bucket and keep an eye of the movement of the train at all times. The multitasking makes it fun, especially with friends, where everyone has a different task.
After each successful mission, you can buy upgrades for your train carts, making the later stages a little easier. However, in the later stages, the train will move faster and faster, giving you less time to complete the track.
When your little train crashes, it is game over. All progress, upgrades and carts are lost, and you may start over again.
Unrailed! uses simple, "Minecraft" graphics which are fine for a simple game like this. The character models look silly and hilarious, especially when moving.
The sound effects and music are alright and just play nicely in the background.
Control wise, this game is very simple and easy to learn.
Overall, I liked Unrailed! especially with some friends on a Saturday night. It offers some quick casual fun and with its unique concept, I would surely recommend it.
