Continental Divide

Continental Divide wants to make Cube Rails feel more serious and weighty across its east-west frame. For me, that weight mostly arrives as dry friction.

Continental Divide is another east-west Cube Rails game that has decided its cousins needed a little more seriousness. It has found it, along with a stiffness whose purpose is difficult to locate.

I did not care for it much. It is dry and heavy in a way that does not make the experience more interesting, merely more tiring. Baltimore & Ohio is the better choice, frankly.

  • Review Stupor Mundi

    Stupor Mundi wears the full German-euro uniform and leaves much the same aftertaste: dry, busy, and oddly hard to recall. It is not unpleasant; it simply gives little reason to come back for another serving.

  • Review Rock Hard: 1977

    Rock Hard: 1977 is handsomely produced and reasonably committed to its theme, but beneath the polish sits a bland push-your-luck exercise that leaves chance doing the heavy lifting.

  • Review Stress Botics

    Stress Botics conceals an interesting economic game beneath layers of rules, exceptions, and mechanical clutter. Its hand management deserves attention; nearly everything around it seems determined to punish that attention.
