VGChartz's Issa Maki: "Of all the titles I've reviewed, Bootleg Steamer is the most addictive. When I sit down to play, I know that I'm going to be there for the next 1-3 hours. Its wheels turn and the gears are oiled, yet the engine inside lacks a 'spark' that pushes it to the next level, be that competition from other runners or a more volatile crew dynamic - some additional tension source to get the entropy flowing would have been nice. Its low-stakes, easygoing nature might not be to everyone's taste, but for those who land on the Stardew Valley side of the gaming coin, Bootleg Steamer is a curious, pleasant nightcap to the end of any evening."
