User Reviews

Players praise the game’s core appeal and longevity, but report repeated, widespread problems: trains get stuck and won’t dispatch, performance lags and crashes, and updates are perceived as monetization‑driven and disruptive. Support is seen as weak, with hacks and unresolved glitches adding to frustration. Overall sentiment is mixed to negative, despite a loyal fan base and occasional positive notes about new features.

Pros

The game is generally enjoyable and well-liked, with positive sentiments like Great game, Awesome game, Excellent jeu, and Thx for the fun.
Long-standing appeal and nostalgia; many players have invested years into building cities.
The trains feature update is noted as an interesting addition by some players, adding new gameplay elements.
Affection for the game is evident (❤️) and grateful messages reinforce continued player interest.

Cons

Train system bugs cause trains to get stuck, dispatch failures, and station lockups across multiple reviews.
Lag, freezing, loading screens, and overall performance issues persist after updates.
Updates and monetization changes are viewed as greedy or degrade the gameplay, with increased spending pressure and pay-to-win concerns.
Poor support and response to issues; reports of ignoring communications and unresolved glitches/hacking.
System overload from frequent updates and ads, leading to crashes, long loading times, and inability to play.

Recent reviews

What was once an enjoyable experience has become a frustrating one. While you will always have things to do, the game constantly glitches. You can see everything stop and start several times every few minutes. You can never work seamlessly. It’s happened other times in the past, but it was always resolved. This time it has been going on for weeks if not months and apparently it’s the new norm. It’s a nice game but be prepared for it to not play smoothly .
