Today, we get to play a cute train management game called Train Valley 2. Since I’m new to these time management puzzle games, I’m off to a terrible start. Expect lots of train crashes and explosions, and my watch my brain work in overtime to try and salvage my railway network throughout each level. My brain is not braining…

43:35 Outro
Train Valley 2 is a train tycoon puzzle-strategy game made by Lithuanian based video game development studio, Flazm. The game consists of 50 increasingly difficult levels where you have to manage train networks to make money, and deliver the required resources to the different hubs/cities. Each level is based in a valley, where you have to manage the local industries to produce the resources, with the cities providing the workers to help produce them, in a self sufficient kind of economy. In the end, it all boils down to how fast and how efficiently you can provide the resources the cities need, so that the valley community can thrive.
We are back with Season 2. The idea of this series is to play one game per episode that will be chosen by a random number generator from 1 to 100. The new rules is as follows:
A number between 1 to 60(Season 1 was 1 to 78), will randomly choose a game from the Steamer Games list, a list of games that I will probably do a playthrough of.
A number between 61 to 90(Season 1 was 79 to 95), will choose a game from the Possible Steamer Games list, a list of games that seem interesting and has potential for a full playthrough.
A number between 90 to 100(Season 1 was 96 to 100) will choose a game from the Not Interested Games list, a list of games that I either don’t find interesting, or I had a bad first impression of.
Finally, Season 2 ends when I get through all the games from the Steamer Games list. Season 3 will then start(maybe), and will end when I get through all the games from the Possible Steamer Games list. Please stay tuned for more!
