    Ok so I'm going to jump straight on the bandwagon of the hater brigade for this one.

    Graphically, I guess it's okay, but the controls, even the expert controls, are much easier to work around. There is that going for it. It's simple HUD is exactly that, simple. Expert controls should be a blast even for beginners with this one.

    There is that going for it. It's simple HUD is exactly that, simple. Expert controls should be a blast even for beginners with this one.
    The one thing I distinctly do not like about this one is the awareness alarm. At regular intervals, having to press a certain combination of keys to tell the computer you are still there, still know what's going on and still paying attention to the signals, the speed and the conditions the train is being controlled in is nothing short of immensely annoying. Yes, you can turn this off, but no, it's not immediately obvious when you HAVE turned it off. It's very limited in content, you just get a bare bones set-up, couple of trains, couple of tracks, a heap of scenarios for each of the tracks, which doesn't really add to the variety for me. It got a hefty slating on Steam for not being as good as the predecessors and despite having the delightful Sean Bean of Sharpe's fame (don't tell me he's always going to be more popular for GoT it just won't fly with me) doing the narrating for the intro video, it doesn't really do anything significant to improve the experience.

    It's a half decent attempt, but it's lack of content out of the box makes it as contemptible as the ultimate insult of Sims 4. All told, it is quite like Sims 4 in that you would need to buy a sizeable chunk of content to make it worth getting in the first place, and that's just a bit more than annoying.

    I think 5 out of 10 is lenient on this one.

    The missus says "It's borked, the end."

    Maybe I should just leave this **** to her instead.    … Expand

    I don't think, that you have to buy this game. It's pretty ridiculous, because TS 2015 is even worse than 2014, but with higher price.

    This game is really fun and it gives the feeling that the player is learning about how trains, both old and new, work. This gives you the satisfaction that actions do have consequences even with the smallest action.

This gives you the satisfaction that actions do have consequences even with the smallest action. The game is a good buy for players who like to take their time and don’t like to rush their way through things. The pricing value of the DLC doesn’t seem that great because it’s just different countries and different train brands. The basic game alone is enough as there is replayability in trying to beat different scores, not only personal, but global as well. In conclusion this game is good and fun for mild amusement to work the brain. Train lovers would love this game and others might find it a fun game to play.… Expand

    This Game Is Fab. It Has A Lot Of Third Party Routes And Locos. A Lot Of DTG Own ROUTES And Locos. A Lot Of Good Scenarios. Graphics Are Good If You Are Like Me And Have A High End Machine Are Excellent. A Lot Of High Quality Locomotives Especially The ICE T EMU Or Acela Express EMU Or JUSTTRAINS Class 153 DMU.

    Нормальная игра. Получше б оптимизацию под слабые компьютеры и побольше бы бесплатных сценариев. Грустно, но что бы полноценно насладиться в эту игру, придется заплатить приличную сумму.

    Although it has occasional highlights, this game is really let down by sloppy execution and a very serious lack of attention to detail. Sure its fun to drive a train around but if you are forking out £25 for a route it should have mountains of content and not be full of bugs and errors.

    I adore trains, but this....? This isn't even a game. This isn't a train game. Whether it is the apalling graphics, or the ridiculously overpriced DLC, this is a bad game no doubt.

    I really wanted to like this game, but cannot recommend it. It is basically just a "starter kit" out of the box. In order to add variety to the very few trains and routes, you have to download content and it is EXPENSIVE. I am not going to spend $20 for an engine and another $25 for a route. Way too expensive. To add real variety costs hundreds, even thousands of dollars! TheI really wanted to like this game, but cannot recommend it. It is basically just a "starter kit" out of the box.

So much potential for those who love trains, but so disappointing and frustrating out of the box.… Expand

    Fabulous! Scenarios or free-roam are great. You can shunt and move trucks to your hearts content and all with a wonderful heavy diesel sound too, or steam, or electric!

    A simulator built with an excellent accessibility and all the trappings, ready to offer realism and rewarding challenges to all those fans who will be willing to spend a fortune to buy the infinite plethora of DLCs that represents the only barrier to thousands of miles of fun.

    The new routes provide a wide range of challenges and the new trains, particularly the ICE T, will please many train fans. Load times are long, so if you have a SSD install it on there.

    Train Simulator 2015 was an interesting experience. It reignited a childhood spark for a brief amount of time, as well as brought into context that while the life on the rails is simple in movement it is not simply pushing the throttle forward and waiting.
