Not as good graphicaly as TSW5 but has much better systems to play including built in custom route and senario designers. You need to fiddle around with graphic setting to optimise your gameplay for your pc setup but thats not too bad. Be mindful not to adjust your display aspect to a setting not supported by your graphics and monitor as you will not see the game interface and have to restart the game in safe mode to readjust the settings which can be fun. Overall i like the game.

I have played Train Simulator Classic off and on for several years now. And while I put more time towards its Train Sim World counterpart (for more forgiving gameplay and better graphics), the fact is that "Train Simulator Classic" is a game that has so much support, so much content and developers finding a way to make a 20+ year game work and look much better. First and foremost, you are not coming into Train Simulator Classic (Train Simulator Classic 2024) for the best graphics, you are coming into this game knowing its the most challenging train sim game that requires near perfection. If you don't give it perfection, tough luck, you are going to fail and replay the game which is not fun if the actual route is nearly two hours long. Nor is it forgiving if you were perfect 98% of the way, if you really mess up towards the end, consider it a failure. Train Simulator Classic is brutal, but so is the life of a train conductor. Punctuality and knowing what to do IRL is a lot of pressure and there are people who are ready for the challenge of having that near real life experience and why this game is beloved. Again, so much support with trains and routes throughout the world. And sales that happen so often, it'll no doubt make rail sim fans happy. But in the end, it all comes down to you: Train Simulator Classic - A lot of support, a lot of train and route add ons, not as great graphically and while fun, it can be frustrating as the game demands perfection on your part. If you want that real life experience and want the challenge to be a conductor and the responsibilities that comes with it. Choose this game! Train Simulator World - Nowhere close to the amount of routes or trains featured on TSC, but graphically it looks way better than TSC and not as demanding and less frustrating than its counterpart. No need for perfection, being close enough is fine! If you want to have fun but go at your own pace and not worry about being a conductor like in real life and just want to have fun with less frustration. Definitely worth it and if you can own both, great if you are railway sim fan but choose wisely if you want to save money.

Brilliant game worth recommending especially with Armstrong Powerhouse packs if you are in the UK some routes aren't brilliant. But as I'm a Train Spotter best Train Sim out there not so much graphics but gameplay brilliant. 10/10

It's gorgeous, sometimes frustrating, but still the #1 train simulation overall due to the seemingly infinite content available, as pay- or freeware. Build your own library, create your own content, discover enhancement packs that make this game a joyful experience. It's a universe, and its vast DLC library offers something for everyone, something that's likely not to happen again in any other simulation. I have spent nearly 10,000 hours on this game and can give a definite recommendation.
