There's something oddly reassuring about the enduring love we have for trains and the games that let us guide them through the world. Even in 2023, the romantic attachment persists. For as long as I've been playing games, trains have been a constant, from casual puzzlers to dense management sims. And now there's another one that's piqued my interest. Station to Station has a bit of the latter, but is more of a relaxing, minimalist romp—a light-weight puzzler with a few sim elements and lots of style.
Announced this week, Station to Station is coming to Steam this year, but in the meantime you can check out the charming trailer above. Rail bosses will be tasked with plonking down a rail network across a variety of biomes, and you won't have to feel bad about destroying the natural beauty of these areas, because in Station to Station these transport links actually influence the growth of flora and fauna, fostering nature wherever they are placed.
