Monotonous – Rails Review

The game is not impossible as some are saying. It is also not a 5 star game as many seem to be exclaiming. At it's core, it is a good idea, but it goes on and on and on with no real variation. I'm on level 37, hoping to finish chapter 2, but it's a real chore because it's just the same thing over and over and over. The strategy is always the same - connect the stations and create alternate routes to avoid collisions. The new trains introduced are not enough to keep it interesting and I've only seen one variation in landscape. Perhaps new track types, like tunnels, bridges, road crossings, etc, and obstacles like mountains, rivers, and roads could liven things up. Some interesting goals beyond, "get the trains to the station," might be interesting,too. As it is, I'm not sure that I'll play beyond my current level.
