Pros
Sort
-
Yorkshire, Florida, and Germany supply different landscapes and mixes of passenger, high-speed, and freight services. This range is a widely praised reason to explore the package.
-
New and familiar trains cover commuter, high-speed, and freight work with detailed models. Repeated stock and limited use for some add-ons temper the appeal.
-
Lighting, shadows, and train models earn frequent praise, especially on PC. A few players see only modest gains or dislike the compromises required for speed.
-
Enhanced lighting, shadows, and rain create memorable views. Some weather transitions and upscaling settings remain uneven.
-
Freight Hauler brings welcome freedom to choose cars and plan deliveries without a strict timetable. Pathing bugs and limited jobs can make that freedom frustrating.
-
The branching Yorkshire network is a standout for its varied journeys and freight work. Florida and Germany offer distinct settings, though a few route stretches feel sparse or familiar.
-
Train motors, track noise, horns, and changing acoustics often sound convincing. Some rolling stock audio draws complaints for poor authenticity.
-
Scenarios, scheduled passenger runs, and freight operations provide plenty of different assignments, especially on the Yorkshire network.
-
Branching services, varied trains, and random freight jobs provide plenty of potential replayability. The freight mode needs shorter, more reliable sessions for that promise to hold.
-
Cab interaction, regional sound, and live weather can make a drive feel remarkably authentic. Abrupt weather and visible technical faults can quickly puncture that effect.
-
Beginner controls and assists make train driving easier to approach while leaving the detailed cab procedures available. Several players welcome the flexibility, although the bright menus and limited hardware mapping remain barriers.
-
The unhurried railway setting is a soothing draw, with real-time weather and train sounds deepening the sense of place.
-
Detailed cabs, stations, and freight locations make many routes convincing. Other players find sparse scenery, quiet platforms, or omitted structures distracting.
-
Operating different trains is detailed and often satisfying, particularly with heavier freight. Unrealistic crash behavior and occasional control faults mar the simulation.
-
The relaxed pace and hands-on train work create a pleasant escape for enthusiasts, especially with the beginner scheme.
-
The routes feel like working railways at their best, with stations, depots, and freight sites integrated into the journey.
-
Faster loading and menu returns are practical improvements for large libraries.
-
Beginner controls and the Training Centre help newcomers reach the cab. The freight mode and advanced systems need clearer introductions.
-
Flexible photo tools help capture the routes at their most scenic.
-
The music makes a stronger impression than in earlier entries for at least one player.
-
Driving scheduled services remains a satisfying, leisurely routine for train fans. The same point-to-point rhythm may feel monotonous to others.
-
Several trains feel quick and satisfying to drive, though a few technical faults interrupt throttle or door control.
-
Route collectibles offer small, welcome diversions from the timetable.
-
Player profile progress transferred from PC to Steam Deck, making portable play easier to resume.
-
A launch update and promised patches show active attention to reported problems, although the fixes have not erased every interruption.
-
Services, route tasks, Journey Mode, and Freight Hauler give drivers several structured reasons to return.
-
Some small train interactions feel lifelike, while passengers still pop in and move unnaturally.
-
Steam Deck controls are comfortable and playability is acceptable, though stutter, dips near stations, and battery draw limit the experience.
-
Regional voice work earns praise, while synthetic sounding announcements disappoint some players.
Cons
Sort
-
Launch bugs range from strange train behavior and missing freight jobs to stuck doors and broken paths. Some players encountered little trouble, while others had sessions derailed.
-
The conductor can ease door duties and add atmosphere when it works. Repeated reports of stuck doors, missed actions, empty stations, and passenger glitches make AI reliability a major concern.
-
The presentation can feel excellent, but recurring faults in doors, freight routing, and other small systems leave many buyers asking for more refinement.
-
Crashes during services and Freight Hauler put long sessions at risk, despite some otherwise playable runs.
-
Some buyers feel that promoted improvements and promised systems overstated how well the launch version worked.
-
The updated menus look cleaner to some, but others find them too bright, confusing, or several layers away from starting a run.
-
Simplified gamepad driving is convenient, but specialist controllers and custom mapping remain poorly served.
-
A missing wheel model in the livery designer spoiled one attempt to use a custom train appearance.
-
Stopping markers and fault notices can be easy to miss, while the freight interface leaves some operations unclear.
-
PC players receive enhanced lighting and graphics options that console players miss, while Steam Deck support receives a more favorable report.
-
Walking through trains and yards adds tactile appeal, but decorative cab controls and inaccessible station areas limit exploration.
-
There is plenty to drive across the new routes, but Freight Hauler is initially confined to them and some routes or yards feel unfinished.
-
The refreshed interface has admirers, but its intense brightness is uncomfortable for several players and lacks a dark option.
-
The authentic systems can be intimidating without guidance. Beginner controls and easier train options make the first services more manageable.
-
Steam Deck power draw runs high, limiting portable sessions to a few hours.
-
Freight planning gives the route map a useful role, but fine map movement and setting valid paths can be awkward.
-
Walking sideways with a controller slows awkwardly and takes time to get used to.
-
The annual upgrade and expensive add-ons concern some players, even as others find the edition bundles reasonable.
-
Compatible purchases carrying forward is appreciated, and bundles can be a better deal than separate add-ons. The large catalog and premium route pricing still draw sharp criticism.
-
The Training Centre helps explain basic driving, but advanced systems and Freight Hauler often leave players to work out crucial steps on their own.
-
Smooth runs are possible on stronger systems, but busy stations, the German route, and handheld play can suffer drops and stutter.
-
Freight Hauler and new assists give this annual release a fresh angle for some players. Others see a modest update whose core driving remains almost unchanged.
-
Freight Hauler turns wagon movements into an appealing planning exercise. Broken paths, inaccessible cars, and thin job structure can spoil that promise.
-
Adjustable camera speed helps frame scenic shots, though a handheld fault caused the view to lurch during one service.
-
The three-route bundles look worthwhile to several players, particularly newcomers. High deluxe pricing and launch bugs make other buyers favor the free starter or a sale.
-
New graphics options deliver smoother or better-looking play for many PC users. Traversal stutter, busy areas, and uneven handheld performance persist.
