User reviews & Ratings

The sim is pretty decent, graphics are really good, and the ideas around the premise of the game is very good. However, something feels missing - I don't feel very immersed into it like I did when it was Train Simulator 2014 or whatever the year was. I feel there needs to be a true career mode, management mode for business tycoons like myself, and more of an open world in a sense especially for routes with Amtrak that go from coast to coast.. I mean for the USA, there's hardly any routes.... we need places like Chicago, Philadelphia, and others. I would like to have routes where I can travel through at least 5 states, spend more time driving the trains for freight and passengers. Tutorials are fantastic though, very informative and helpful for newcomers. Also, where are the countries with the best trains in the world, like Japan? They don't exist? Japan has the best rail system and train in the entire world, let's put it in the game.

Pros: I've played for 40 hours and tried many UK and German trains. I really like how much depth this game has, especially with all the systems like AWS, PZB, SIFA, LZB, etc. I highly recommend this game to anyone, even if they are not a train fan. For new players, I strongly suggest using all these real protection systems—AWS, SIFA, and PZB—as they completely change the game experience." Cons: The only downside might be that the DLCs are so expensive—it's really crazy. This game doesn't have any competitors, which might be the reason. Also, as a developer, I understand that creating physics and mapping/routes for even one train takes a lot of effort, but still, each DLC costs as much as a full AAA game, which doesn’t seem fair. :O

Love the game overall, however, the following enduring frustrations apply: 1 The failure to ensure that all electric trains function on all electric routes regardless of country (as they do in train sim classic) 2 The absence of AI traffic in Free Roam mode (again, a failing avoided by TSW classic) 3 An abiding over-reliance on tree-lined rail routes which, I suspect, occurs mainly to obscure the lack of modelling detail in the environment 4 The failure of leaves to fall from trees even in the depths of a British winter. After late November not a single leaf should remain 5 The absence of people (on bridges, balconies, bicycles, in lanes, in fields, on farms, on country paths etc) 6 The absence - on stations - of elderly people, children, pushchairs, wheelchairs, people with bikes, groups of people, people in uniform, people carrying things....) 7 Levitating cars, trucks and even trees. The San Bernardino route is almost unplayable because of the sloppy freeway modelling. Take a lesson from German routes - the cars move perfectly 8 The absence of station names on the HUD oncoming line (again unlike TSW classic). A pity because it makes learning the routes harder and identifying station names a chore. Also place names can be evocative and interesting 9 Termination of game after SPAD should be optional 10 All routes are too short Sorry to be so negative but I love this game and want it to be a more accurate simulation.

Being completely honest if it was not for the West Coast mainline and Avanti 390 train I most probably would not have bought this game! Just that one route made me pre-purchase it! I feel like the game seems to run a lot better! (Maybe this will vary when I do different routes). My main focus is to play the modern UK routes, as I’m not a huge fan of old style pacer trains, or steam trains. It is also virtually impossible to buy every single route or train DLC, firstly do Dovetail I think we are all millionaires? And do they realise how much storage this would also take?? My suggested improvements 1) stop bringing out a brand-new game every year 2) make DLC’s slightly cheaper 3) make certain train stations that are generally busy irl look busier in-game 4) automatic training announcements by default 5) passengers talking between themselves rather than just a silent train 6) Guard Mode: Help wheelchair users, make announcements, be able to see easily distance to the next station 7) I want to see passengers actually get off the train at the end of a service! Too many times you either start a service or take a train to a depot with passengers on which is just lazy from Dovetail and completely unrealistic Apart from the above comments, I am already enjoying this game a lot more than I did when I purchased TSW3 & 4!
