Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator

I used to have a motto of sorts for finding good restaurants. "Authentic doesn't mean good." You can't base the quality of something purely on how close it mirrors the thing it's representing. Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator is very authentic. Authentic stretches of kilometers filled with nothing but snow. Authentic silence. Authentic cold. It tries to spice things up with the absurdity of your Mafia missions, like being asked immediately to blow up a bridge. That shininess wears thin very quickly though, and the absurdity quickly turns to monotony. There's a decent game in here. If you like train sims, it's perfectly functional. If you like shooters... maybe look elsewhere. If you're looking for both, well, that's weird. But so is this game.
