Complete Review In this review I have a play time of -+ 302 hours and it's still fun to play, which I think is enough to review this game thoroughly. Please note that this is a game with the lot of DLC, there could be differences with the non DLC content. Multiple Choice Review (Part 1) Graphics โ Masterpiece โ Beautiful โ Good โ Decent โ Bad โ Donโt look too long at it โ MS-DOS Compare with Train Sim Worldยฎ, Trainz Very far from a graphical perspective, in terms of reality and the physics they provide. Gameplay โ Very good โ Good โ It's just gameplay โ Mehh โ Watch paint dry instead โ Just don't I really enjoy playing this game, but in some aspects such as running the train through the missing cabins and the POV of the passenger cars, many of them are bad and poorly placed. Audio โ Eargasm โ Very good โ Good โ Not too bad โ Bad โ I'm now deaf There are some sound effects that are broken, and have very big, and small sounds, and some effects are generic and don't match the sound of the original train Audience โ Kids โ Teens โ Adults โ Grandma Considering that in this game we can just be a train user or become a map maker for the train, the audience playing this game is very wide PC Requirements โ Check if you can run paint โ Potato โ Decent โ Fast โ Rich boi โ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer I have a pretty good computer or laptop, but the game optimization is very bad, I play RTX 3050 only get 30Fps which the game is from 2019, very unreasonable Difficulty โ Just press 'W' โ Easy โ Easy to learn / Hard to master โ Significant brain usage โ Difficult โ Dark Souls From this point of view, you can train as a machinist, it will be much more difficult when you learn how difficult it is to make maps professionally based on reality and create dynamic ground contours, you can learn from DLC maps to make realistic maps Gameplay Time โ Long enough for a cup of coffee (0 - 3 hours) โ Short (3 - 15 hours) โ Average (15-50 hours) โ Long (50-100 hours) โ Extremely long (100-200 hours) โ To infinity and beyond This game really takes you, depending on your creativity as a player, I myself spent a lot of time modifying the DLC map which used to be 1 lane into 2 lanes, and spent hundreds of hours on it. Fun โ I'd rather watch paint dry โ Hard to enjoy โ Repetitive โ Actually pretty amusing โ Ride of your life This game is from my childhood, it has a time period depending on your imagination and thinking, considering that this game is a sandbox you can do whatever you like, for example you think hard about how to maximize the rail which should have a maximum speed of 150KMph to 400KMph with various train speeds without having to experience bottlenecks, I think that's very exciting. Price โ It's free! โ Worth the price (If you rich) โ If it's on sale (If you donโt have lot of money) โ Buy only on sale โ If u have some spare money left โ Not recommended โ You could also just burn your money Considering that developers are very greedy like EA, where the content should already be one unit, they break the content into DLC, I recommend that you buy in packages (packs) and of course during the winter sale and summer sale discounts! Bugs โ Never heard of โ Minor bugs โ Can get annoying โ Cyberpunk 2077 V1.0 (First day release) โ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs Yes, there are lots of bugs in this game, I really hate it, the developer is bad at solving these problems and keeps making very expensive DLC, problems like strange sounds, force close when the train speed is between 90-99 KMph and so on, this game like it was abandoned by the developer Replayability โ It's a one-time experience โ Only for achievements โ If you wait a few months/years โ Definitely โ Infinitely replayable (Because multiverse purpose) If you are a maker of interesting maps and sessions, you can play this game as much and as much as you like according to your imagination. Explanation Pros & Cons (Part 2) Pros, you must buy this game โข If you love trains from all over the world, this is a recommended game to satisfy your desire to become a train driver, with a large selection of trains (must buy DLC) and several maps that are fun to play (paid). Cons, dont buy this game โข This game and DLC are very expensive, and combined I recommend buying Cyberpunk 2077, Age of Empire, Rise of Nation, Hogwarts Legacy or Baldur Gate 3, it is recommended that you buy this game only during the winter or summer sale, the normal price is very not worth it! โข Many bugs have a lot of impact on your playing comfort, it will make you uncomfortable when you play, I recommend you to buy the latest version which I and a modder put RTX effects into the game and provide extraordinary graphics and very bad optimization. โข I also remind greedy developers, a lot of DLC is recycled from the 2016 or 2023 TrainZ version, which they released the same, which I assume that the engine and game they offer from many versions are the same, this is a problem, that is the reason I prefer choose the 2019 version rather than the 2023 because it is much cheaper Conclusion (Part 3) My Final Rating 6.8/10 Very bad game, I recommend it for those of you who played this as a child and want to express your creativity, and it's not worth it for the normal price but yes for the discounted price.
