I was very skeptical and hesitant at first, especially as others had noted the constant stuttering and lag, but after doing some searching online I learned something that seems to be completely true. Let me start off by saying YOU. WILL. EXPERIENCE. LAG. PERIOD. This is a ‘FEATURE’ , NOT a bug. The reason being is that the game loads the shaders as you drive the route so that means your first time playing every route you will have to load shaders and experience lag, does not matter how strong of computer you have, it is unavoidable. After that its smooth sailing and the lag is pretty much non-existent, once the shaders are all loaded the game really starts to shine through. But other than that, I think it’s a great improvement compared to the other iterations. The dynamic feel of everything, the small little attentions to detail like passenger chatter and station announcements. It really sets an immersive feel. The world just feels so much more alive. I have yet to experience the failure parts, but from what I’ve seen so far it’s safe to say that I’m going to be sticking with TSW6. So with all that being said, if you can bear the atrocious stutters and lagging throughout the first time driving the route it’s actually a nice experience once you get over that. I would definitely only get it on sale though. But it is nice that all your routes that you’ve bought for the prior iterations should be compatible with TSW6 at least that’s how it’s been with the other versions (I cannot say with certainty that all of them are compatible) so big W for dovetail for not making you rebuy your routes. You’re basically just paying for new features and improvements. Though I’m not sure if older routes will have the new features that TSW6 routes have.

Lots of negative reviews are from dedicated players frustrated by the Developer's business model. Fair enough. Game is overpriced: true. But for the few people reading this wondering if you'd like the sim: it is fun. It is fun if you enjoy learning the intricacies of safety systems. If you wing it, it will be frustrating. If all that you want is to play arcade-mode, this game will get boring fast. Buy it (UK is balanced, US is full of invisible signals and require intimate knowledge of tracks, Germany is clear but more complex to graps). Good thing is that since hardly nothing change from version to another (on a 1 year schedule like AAA), ignore the next 3 versions and re-buy three years later if you still are into it. Not a lot changed form a gameplay POV between TSW3 and TSW6. Because of the brutal price, don't expect having a large collection of tracks and locomotives. In the end, that it is fun is the only thing that matters. what does fun means? * Hitting these speed decrease market at the righ time and smoothly. * Soaking up the scenery, * squinting to read what's coming ahead. * Estimating just right how much that rain/snow is going to change your breaking characteristics. * Delivering people on time, with time to spare to stretch your legs on the ramp. * Not caring about progression because there are none: just drive for the fun of it.

TL;DR Recommended if you are new to train simulation. It works well as a first contact with train driving, and helps you discover what you enjoy (kind of train/operations/line) before deciding whether it is enough for you or whether you want to move on to a simulator better suited to your expectations. Train Sim World 6 is, unfortunately, a textbook case of wasted potential. Built on a modern engine with full 3D environments and a huge DLC catalog, this should be the dream train simulator. Instead, quality is wildly inconsistent. Many DLCs look and feel like content from 15 years ago, often poorly updated, sometimes outright broken. Others are merely average. Considering the prices, even during sales, this is hard to justify. This is frustrating because the core concept is excellent. You can walk around your train, interact with controls and the environment, visit stations, or ride as a passenger. When everything works, it can be immersive. Unfortunately, bugs constantly get in the way. Tutorials are plentiful but frequently break if you make a mistake, which defeats their purpose. Many routes are visually outdated, buggy, or extremely linear, often limited to simple back-and-forth runs with no meaningful route choices, even in expensive DLCs. Physics feel believable but clearly capped. The simulation stops at an average level and never reaches the depth of hardcore simulators like Run8. Ironically, the older Train Simulator Classic often offers much higher-quality routes and locomotives thanks to third-party developers and the community, sometimes even given away for free. One genuine positive: any DLC you buy carries forward to future TSW versions. In the end, this is a decent entry-level train simulator dragged down by unexcusable bugs and overpriced, outdated content that often feels like a game from 2005.

Excellent game/program. I have worked on the railroad for over 59 years. Mostly steam, and now diesel electric. Of course, you are not going to get the full feeling of being on a locomotive with a computer program, but I can honestly say that this is my favorite program, and I don't play trains on computers, unless instructing for the railroad. Again, not computer program can perfect the actual activity or experience, but this Train World 5 and 6 do a great job. I was running the Jubilee last night and it kept feeling like I was running the 750, 290, or other steam locomotives, except for the left hand engineers side, but even the lubricator hand crank works. I hear other people complaining about this or that improper fitting, etc., but, as one of my mentors, initials B.P. use to say, "I don't care if it is painted purple with white pooka dots, as long as its running." Yes, its running, and running well. Brings back the feelings of running down the mainline at night and seeing people run out of churches and houses waving towels and waving, as the coal fired engines would tear through the night. And today, you can see myself and two others running the 290 in Fried Green Tomatoes, with my 5 chime central of Ga. Whistle on it. Buddy was not hurt in the making of that film. Lol So, great job, to the builders of this program. I highly recommend it. And, I love the Boston stuff, as my steam beginnings were at Edaville RR and Steamtown, in Vermont. Thanks again and carry on! Over and Out. And, no one paid me for this endorsement. I bought it on this fantastic sale, which ends on January 5th. If you like trains, they will run. Have fun. Clear Signa!

Good game. But please stop putting out a new game every year without changing anything major. The "updates" (2-3 features) we got with this edition could have easily been released as a update or dlc. NOT A NEW GAME!!! The community has been asking this for years now! Only giving this a thumbs up because currently, there is no better train simulator
