Ten reviews, with hours and dates
Recommended: 18.1h on 2 Nov, praising the UI, graphics and sound. 13.4h on 2 Nov, calling the loop logistical bliss, with UI bugs, a partial refund complaint, and a wish that pathfinding looked one junction further; the review names Mini Metro and Transport Tycoon. 9.1h on 3 Nov, describing a town that jams while you watch one building, then half an hour of repairs. 4.1h on 3 Nov, reaching region 5 before traffic rules felt required. 2.3h on 3 Nov, comparing the focus to Factorio and wanting height and random events. 1.9h on 2 Nov, seventy minutes without a break, and a missing tutorial.
Not recommended: 1.6h on 3 Nov, “literally nothing happens” at the start, no tutorial, routes already drawn, too few trucks to need a yield sign. 0.3h on 3 Nov, too little explanation and unclear tasks. 0.1h on 4 Nov, “No tutorial?”. A separate negative filter shows 2.7h saying no new shapes appeared after two hours.
What I will not average
Metacritic's critic score is not zero. It is unopened, with zero critic reviews, and the user score waits for four ratings. A weighted score I have seen quoted from a database site could not be reopened on 4 Nov 2026, so I leave it out. goood.games prints 77 and “about 5 hours” on its own scale.
The praise cluster in this sample is the loop and the look. The complaint cluster is the missing tutorial and early emptiness. Four of the ten are the tutorial complaints. I will not scale that to 40% of all buyers.
Questions
Is 89% a critic score?
No. It is the Steam user summary for 66 reviews at 03:22 UTC during the 4 Nov 2026 audit. Metacritic had no critic score that day.
How long is a session?
The ten reviews I opened range from 0.1h to 18.1h. goood.games prints about 5 hours. I do not pick one of those as the length.
Are the bad reviews about crashes?
In this sample they are about the opening explanation, early truck count, and one report of no new shapes. I did not read the other 55.
