Our take on Railbound
The focus on railway routing gives the game a narrow central activity: arranging connections and managing train movement. That focus leaves less room for different kinds of gameplay, while the level editor extends the puzzle format rather than changing it.
What is Railbound?
Railbound is a puzzle game about a pair of dogs travelling around the world by train.
Players place, remove, and reroute railway connections so carriages reach the locomotive without colliding. The puzzles introduce tunnels for covering distances, barriers for delaying trains, and switches for changing routes. The main levels span different locations and proceed at a relaxed pace, with branches leading to harder brainteasers. The game includes more than 240 puzzles and a level editor for making custom challenges. Players can share their creations through Steam Workshop or try puzzles made by others. Comic-book-inspired visuals and an original soundtrack accompany the journey.
