Our family loves the.Ticket to Ride games, and were so excited to have this on the PlayStation. But since buying this in November, we've only been able to play a few times. Every game opens fine, then crashes during the game - it either kicks out players, won't load a person's turn, or just stops working. Recently, when we were able to complete 2 games (several day apart), at the end of the game when it adds up the route cards, it penalized every person for all the tickets that they did NOT keep, giving most of us a negative score. This is the biggest waste of money!! $50 down the drain!! I would like a refund.
TTR itself is vood quality fun, so I am not gling to necessarily review that here. The whole PlayLink implementation is a good start but still lacking thee other, official, digital versions of TTR. There are a few bugs and a host of optional features that meed looking into, but I am optimistic that AD will address these in time.
The responses with 1 star are so funny. If you don't connect your cities, you lose points according to the tickets. I guess this game must be complicated for some people, or they're too lazy to read the instructions. I give it 5 stars for the challenge. This PlayStation app is good to even learn the board game with the free tutorial. The pay app is good if you don't have a PlayStation or the board game. I'm tempted to buy it since I don't have PlayStation, but I have the board game.
Very broken. Issues getting into and out of games, extreme issues with scoring. I plan on asking Sony for a refund for the playstation part. You should reqlly hold off until the game is fixed. Edit: Seems to have been mostly fixed. There are plenty of ways the system could be improved, but it works.
This app appears to be broken. It crashes every time it tries to start. Tried installing on multiple devices and same thing happens. Hoping they fix it or make a patch to use the controller instead. I would like to play the game I just paid for.
The app works perfectly now. I played with friends (iPhone X, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S8). We were all able to connect and play all day all night. We were skeptical at first, because of the bad reviews. But it seems to work flawlessly now. You can even close the app and come back, and it will bring you back in the game in just seconds!
Tutorial is great. We have friends coming round and bringing this game, so I downloaded it. You can only play the tutorial free, but I found that very helpful. Looking forward to playing the board game.
Struggled to use the app with the game. Wouldn't connect to begin with, once got that sorted there are a few bugs we noticed with the game. Playing the game on your phone's is a good idea though, keeps your hand secret. So good attempt but could be better.
I don't have problems with the UI like some, nor the rules, having experience with the real thing helps. But the game keeps crashing! What's going on? Money will be wasted unless someone claims a fix.
Unplayable. I paid $19.99 on PS Store only to not be able to play it because this app simply won't start without crashing no matter what I try. You can't even use a PS4 controller to play a single player game, so it really completely relies on an app that won't start.
Do not buy this PS4 game. We spent $50 on the base game and expansion bundle, and have been unable to play at all because the Playlink app consistently crashes when players try to join the game. I will be contacting PS support to request a refund. Total waste of time and money.
Can't even install the app. Downloads fine but crashes on install every time making local multiplayer impossible. Multiple newer devices couldn't install the download despite all suggested trouble shooting. Totally negates the reason for my buying the game in the first place. Thoroughly disappointed!
I love the playlink games so was really looking forward to this but I haven't once been able to play a turn. Five of us tried to play today three times and crashed every time. Wish I hadn't paid for it honestly...
Appalling flawed app. Should be removed from store. Connection through local is an absolute farce. We bought the game for PS4 and have been able to connect to play a local game on one occasion over a period of 16 hours and close on about 75 attempts. What's worse is that Sony have been aware of this for months and are doing absolutely nothing, not even refunding money . Therefore false advertising about connectivity. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON BUYING THIS FOR PS4. Sony, you should be ashamed!
An unmitigated disaster. I'm a fan of the board games but this app wasted an hour of our family boxing day trying to get it to connect and then actually make a game work. Never even managed to take a turn, so uninstalled and requesting a refund from PSN. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Thanks for wasting my time.
Actually having read through my previous comments I'm happy to say that after the eventual first update the game is actually more stable now. No crashes or completely random scores. It's a pleasure to play and works well using P30pro and IPhone.
The server often aborts the game without the computer recognising a missing player so the game is lost. It's a problem with the android app and should be easy to fix.
Constantly crashes and completely incomprehensible instructions. I wish I could get my money back from PlayStation. Truely awful when it was meant to be a family friendly game.
Pretty shisty to sell the game at a 80% discount on PSN when you can't even play locally due to broken PlayLink app. Dont make the same mistake we did and give Days of Wonder your money. When the companion app doesn't work the entire game is unplayable. Read the other reviews. This issue has been going on for well over a year and they refuse to fix the issues. Don't waste your time trying to connect to a server. It won't happen. And don't donate your money to a worthless product.
All info is on your phone screen, so there is no need to look at tv. Should have just bought the mobile version of the game, at least then I could play it anywhere and play against people online while staring at my phone
This game is great! Simple enough to play with the whole family of all ages. :D Easy to control once you figure out what to tap and what not to. I would give it 5 stars if you could release a pile if you've changed your mind (once you tap, you'll take a card.) Galaxy S8 user here. Enjoy the game, everyone. :)
Game will connect when it wants sometimes instantly sometimes eventually. Have to switch to Jackbox when it's to much hassle on occasion.
I bought this app and i was able to play solo with bots or with multiplayer on the phone without playing on playstation 4, i dont way now when i starts the game it keep saying you have to connect to WiFi and playstation, i was able to play the great game solo and offline, any clarefication?
Disconnects constantly. It would be fun if the developers cared enough to fix the bugs. Waste of time!
This was $20 on the PS4, I tried it out solo and.... I'm a bit disappointed. It works well enough but the implementation is too simplistic. I guess I expected it to be flashier. Also, it is a bit buggy: (1) the UI on the phone is weird - field of view is cut off around the edges. (2) some of the cards may obscure the board, so I can't tell where I'm placing my train pieces. (3) starting a new game is not elegant - you need to quit the app and restart a game. (4) the field of view on the TV is also cut off around the edges, you can't shrink/enlarge the view in-game. Well, hopefully they patch these out. I haven't tried the tutorial to see how well it can teach the game.
