Voidtrain

Voidtrain puts you in the engineer's boots and hands you a trolley that can become a locomotive, a mobile base and — if you let it — a very cute headache of little helpers. It’s Raft-on-tracks vibes: cozy crafting, light combat and a whimsical narrator, but the ride can get bumpy as systems stall or repeat.

Core loop: ride between depots, hop off to explore floating isles, pick resources with a grapple/hook, fight optional enemies and craft parts for your train and weapons. You build cars, place workbenches, storage and decorations — the train editor is oddly satisfying when it behaves. Rofleemos (adorable little mascots) automate gathering and benches but require decor and maintenance, which quickly becomes either charming or fiddly depending on patience. Weapon modularity is neat on paper — swap barrels, grips and magazines — yet combat is forgiving and modules rarely force radically different playstyles. Puzzles and mini-arenas add variety but often reuse the same layouts; many players report the same small set of POIs repeated along your run. The story and narrator give personality and mystery, but pacing and the ending leave some players unsatisfied. Co-op shines: organizing roles, decorating the train and tackling arenas with friends is where Voidtrain feels best. Expect some QoL roughness — inventory limits, unclear UI icons and occasional bugs — but also gorgeous visuals, great animation and a soundtrack that sells the mood.

Voidtrain is an imaginative survival-crafting ride with real charm and great co-op moments, but its repetitiveness, shallow systems and rough edges keep it from being great. Play it with friends or on sale — the journey is often worth the admission, even if the destination feels unfinished.
