I will freely admit that, having pretty much no interest in trains and by extension train stations, I am likely not the target audience for a game named train station renovation. Despite this, I do quite like games that I can idly potter away at while listening to a podcast or video and I just think TSR is pretty mediocre in that regard.

The cleaning is fairly simple and dull and the renovation doesn't have enough assets to really function properly. Each area you renovate requires a minimum of a few different object classes. One of the most common of these classes is the broadly name "decorations" class. The problem is that pretty much the only objects the game provides you in this category are pot plants and office supplies so I had to keep filling my bathrooms with birds of paradise (which despite probably helping with the smell after someone's had a train station bean burrito, didn't really meet the aesthetic I was going for).

I haven't played house flipper so I can't compare it to that so I'll just say if you like trains you'll probably like this and if you don't then you probably wont.
