“The gameplay itself is very good but lags and stutters to the point where it is almost not even playable. i have tried with just about every setting i can including mods to combat the stutters but still no help.”
“Great game. Very fun. Even on lower end hardware it still runs. The controls are nice and the hole experience is VERY polished.”

“The game looks good and has a lot of things to offer you, but only if you buy DLCs for quite a lot of money. If you have the money for the DLCs you are good and you are gonna enjoy it.”

“Pretty graphics, Yes. Good simulation, No. Performs well on very reasonable hardware, No. There are far better simulators on the market, Derail Valley, Railroader, Run 8, that perform much better and provive a superior…”

“It's a good game, my only gripe is in free roam mode, if god forbid you past a red signal the game just ends same when your train derails. But good simulator game in general.”

— a player, Steam review · 125 hrs played“(This review is based on the DLC and routes I own and played) I feel bad about this game, I love train simulators but THIS?.
