For rail fans seeking relaxation, this simulator is a delightful escape. It perfectly blends fun and relaxation after a long, tiring day. Even though I've only been playing for a few days, I'm already hooked and can't get enough. The game's compatibility with third-party apps adds more depth, allowing you to play local scenarios not covered in the base game. Traveling to relatives during summer holidays and playing familiar routes feels wonderfully nostalgic. The visuals and sounds are incredibly pleasing, making you feel like you're actually on the tracks. It's a true time killer, offering an immersive experience that keeps you coming back for more. Highly recommended for those who love trains and seek a soothing gaming experience. 🚂

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.

The game graphics are well devised. There are plenty of routes from around the world to choose from also.

My God, I have such a love/hate relationship with this simulation. I've been playing it for years and I keep coming back for more of the same love/hate! If you are simply here for your love of all things trains, enjoy your journey! If you are someone who wants to complete the included scenarios for the accomplishment rewards, prepare to be shafted! Misplaced speed limit changes, unmarked speed limit changes, gaffs, multiple goo-gaws, shenanigans, what can be described as nothing more than lazy coding to make a buck....this game is rife with all of the above. Do I recommend it? If you simply want to run trains on familiar or not so familiar routes, yes. I wholeheartedly endorse the simulation. On the other hand, if you have that dreaded OCD bug where you need to feel a sense of completion for a job well done, prepare to be shot down. My opinion would be 100% different if DTG had simply fixed errors as they were reported but, to date, that is a no-go. Am I leaving? No. I've spent far too much money enjoying the simulation. Do I spend far too much time calling DTG every name in the book and even some names of my own creation due to the errors? A resounding YES! Your mileage may vary.
