Tracks: The Train Set Game

Sandbox train builder game for PC

Tracks: The Train Set Game is a premium simulation game for PC by developer Whoop Group. It's a toy sandbox title wherein players will be able to build a train set. They get to design a railway system to cater to the travel needs of passengers, as well as the various towns surrounding it.

Similar to Train Simulator or Train Simulator World, Tracks: The Train Set Game lets players experience what it is like to create and operate their own railway system. It takes a more casual and playful approach, taking inspiration from the hobby of train set model building.

Choo choo

If you're into model building, then you're already familiar with wooden train sets. They're one of the more intricately designed kits available. Given all the parts and optional accessories involved, they require a fair amount of time to complete, but the end result is quite satisfying and worth the effort. With Track: The Train Set Game, you will now be able to experience all that in video game format.

In this game, you are given a sandbox, a blank canvas, to play with, and you are in control of what to build and how—as simple or as complex as you want. Start off with pre-made environments and add elements as you go along. Lay down tracks to establish a proper path for your railway. Once ready, you can drive your wooden train to test how things run.

From there, you can build bridges and towns along the path to cater to passengers and where they need to go at various train stops and stations. You can even put up ramps and drive through them at high speeds for fun and thrills. The only thing that needs to be improved is the game interface, which can be a little clunky and unintuitive in some parts.

Limited only by your imagination

As a hobbyist model builder, it's not often that you would get every possible tool that you could ever want to let you build anything you desire, but that is exactly what Tracks: The Train Set Game was able to achieve. It might be geared toward train set enthusiasts, but the experience is varied and open-ended enough that anyone can appreciate and enjoy it.
