    I’ve not played the original game and bought this on a whim after reading that it was relaxing to play. Can certainly confirm that it is a pretty immersive experience with some challenging aspects that to me as a train novice are just right.

Can certainly confirm that it is a pretty immersive experience with some challenging aspects that to me as a train novice are just right. The trains feel very different to drive and it’s a great feeling when you start building up a bit of speed on a line or get into a rhythm of timing passenger stops. I started on the London Underground which features the Bakerloo line. The loco is simple to operate and initially it was quite repetitive until you get out into the longer runs through Wembley. I then moved onto freight operations in Pennsylvania, but found the action a bit fiddly and will come back to it later - I appreciate the variety though. Then I tried the modern high speed trains operating in western Germany and really enjoyed getting up big speed while also dealing with the various speed limit and gradient changes that you have to factor in. At its best you really believe you are there and the experience is almost zen like it really is true. At its worst you can be hunting around the cabin for the correct process for allowing the train to operate after stopping unexpectedly for quite a while! But I will say the tutorials and driver aids do a good job of preparing you. Overall a really nicely done simulation with loads to do and a variety. Add in the huge amount of trophies and DLC options, then this will keep you occupied for a long time. I can quite happily spend 2 hours playing before realising what the time is and that has to be the sign of a good game/simulation. Expand

    Bugs and heap of technical debt brought forward to UE4.26

    Disgraceful business practices of releasing barely baked DLC and allowing the many shortcomings to continually snowball across their ever expanding collection.

    Poor development direction, but plenty of passion. In over their heads. Not good enough.
