Absolutely breathtaking graphics. Seamless gameplay, bug free. I watch a lot of Japanese trainspotting and cab ride videos and have a dedicated YouTube account to watch them. This game is so immersive that every once a while I forget to touch the controls thinking that I'm watching a cab ride on YouTube. Early access!?! In 2026, the developer could publish this as a full launch title and I wouldn't see any problem with it. Great pricing too. This developer has laid a roadmap out and also written down a frequently asked questions section, which is to the point and honestly this is just UNREAL. A single person has done what huge teams with years of experience and multiple titles could not; Making a smooth, visually pleasing train simulator, being transparent and laying out a roadmap, without overcharging. Excellent game. Put a wide smile on my face while I played. Note for the developer; A) Would like to see multiple light modes/in cab light control/gauge cluster light control. B) Would love to see a DLC with a long overnight train service on a 400km+ route. C) Would love to see a scenery oriented DLC for a speed capped luxury train route based on "Train Suite Shiki-shima" or "Twilight Express Mizukaze". D) Would love to see trains based on the following, as DLC: 1. The 0 Series Shinkansen 2. The E001 series "Train Suite Shiki-shima" 3. The E259 series 4. The E235 series 5. The E353 series 6. The E653 series 7. The 285 series "Sunrise Express" 8. The 87 series "Twilight Express Mizukaze" 9. The 789-1000 "Super Kamui" 10. The E261 series 11. The E655 series 12. The 215 series 13. The 385 series 14. Class 923 "Doctor Yellow" 15. The Seibu 001 series "Laview" 16. The Sotetsu 13000 series 17. The Nankai 50000 series 18. The Odakyu 50000 series VSE 19. The Odakyu 70000 series GSE 20. The Kintetsu 80000 series "Hinotori" Review Update 17/09/2026 I really like the implementation of passengers in the 0.9.4 update even though I would rather have 5 additional locomotives than care about passenger system and just drive soulless trains around. The developer also added a whole lot of chimes, in-car announcements and menu music. Again, I'd rather have a smaller fictional route with freight and a bunch of trains rather than having passengers, idk... I mean people will always whine no matter what and you can't make everyone happy I guess but yeah beautifully done and puts the competitor (who just released a botched 7th iteration of a simulation title) to shame if they have any.

So one Asian guy made a train sim that's better than anything on the market, other than Derail valley. And he didn't need 1000 $ of dlc either. Just goes to show you how pathetic the gaming industry is. The game runs well, its looks phenomenal, sounds phenomenal and plays well. Obviously it still needs work. More immersion, more controls (like door controls), adding passagers maybe and of course more trains and missions. Man what I wouldn't give to see a steam loco in this game, maybe modders will do it one day. Also the addition of a lifebar is genius. It gives you a sense of urgency that was sorely missing from these games. But yeah, so far, very impressive stuff. Can't wait for more to be added. Hopefully the initial spike of popularity helps the dev reach all his goals. Well done.

The train sim game everyone has been crying out for since Dovetail started releasing Railworks/Train Sim with a different year on end and literally no improvements or bugfixes (oh wait they always have), pretending the same game was a newer and better game. Good Graphics, Good Price, Good Game, Arigato Goziamas

It's INSANE that just one guy made this. No UE stutter, 2.5GB download, 4GB install, looks incredible, sounds incredible, plays incredible. WTF is going on?! Are other game devs all that bad?!

Honestly, not sure where to start. So much is good, it's hard to narrow it down... As someone who has played various train simulators for many years now, this game, even in it's early stages is an absolute breath of fresh air. It looks fantastic, and runs very well in comparison to Train Sim World, also on the Unreal Engine. The physics are incredibly good, the cabins have nice crisp textures. I can't find a single negative point. The game is also made by one dev, incredibly... I don't speak a single word of Japanese, but the game is still 100% playable to those who also can't speak it. If this game takes off, and starts getting some more diverse rolling stock and routes, it could very well be the train simulator to de-throne TSW (and I hope it does)!
