Busway Islands – working road and rail on console

There are times when all we want to do is kick back and enjoy a relaxing little puzzler. Busway Islands on Xbox, PlayStation and Switch promises to be just that. 

Available right now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, Busway Islands is the latest to come out of the QUByte Interactive publishing team. They’ve picked up the creation of Rising Moon Games to deliver an intricate little puzzler to the gaming worlds. And if you’re not on Xbox, then you can play on PlayStation or Nintendo Switch instead. 

Road or rail?

It’s priced at a mere £4.19 on the Xbox Store, and that low asking price should give you some kind of idea as to what you are getting here. This is a game that will see you building road – and rail – lines, searching out across an archipelago in order to ensure the citizens in place can be transported without issue.

For us, it’s a bit like Mini Motorways, a game that we absolutely adore, albeit Busway Islands comes with an altogether different visual look. 

35 levels await in Busway Islands, each looking to push your logical skills to the utter limit. But on the flip is a relaxing atmosphere, minimalistic visuals and a scene-setting soundtrack. It’ll be interesting to see how this makes the move from mouse to console controller, but QUByte are promising it has been carefully adapted to ensure an accessible experience for all. 

Key features

  • 35 islands with different challenges to explore
  • Sound effects and music designed for a relaxing gaming experience
  • Challenging puzzles
  • Minimalist and colorful visual style
  • Simple and intuitive gameplay, ideal for all audiences

Buy now!

You’ll find Busway Islands on the Xbox Store, playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. It’s also on the digital storefronts of other systems, namely PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. 

Stay tuned for our full review.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.
