  Biggest cash grab in gaming history and on top of that a pretty average simulator (not even worth the money if you would theoretically be open to spend it). Go play Train Sim World if you want to play a good train simulator without having to spend your life savings on poor DLC locomotives or routes that are far away from reality. In TSW you can even walk around - How cool is that? I honestly wonder who the fuck buys those DLCs?

  idk man it just seems morally wrong to have $10k in DLC Some of the stuff is just straight up broken and abandoned. Soulless cash grab.

  I have had the trains since 2012 and just passed 1000 hours of travel which speaks for itself. Adding to my collection over he years has made the hobby more enjoyable as time goes on I am approaching 83 years of age and keep hoping that a Newcastle to Carlisle will arrive as I was born at a village on that line and it will also complete a circuit via Glasgow and Edinburgh and Newcastle.

  Preface As some people don't seem to be getting this, the reason why I have "played" this game for 2000 hours is twofold. The first is that I like trains. They're great. This game is a pretty old game and I've owned it since about 2009/2010. I've probably clocked some 3-400 hours of playtime on this, as I have developed my own routes and driven trains up and down the existing routes. That still leaves 1700 hours. This is due to a glitch in the earlier game. It used to leave a process running that I never noticed that told steam that I was still "in-game" even when I was sleeping or out at uni/work. This wasn't patched until very recently. As I said in the earlier part of this review - This used to be a good game. Right up until DTG started doing an EA on us. So, to the people not understanding how I've played it for 2000 hours and I don't recommend it, there's your answer. If I'd reviewed it in the 2010, I would've wholeheartedly recommended it. Oh and it's always good to see some intelligent criticism of this review. Calling me a "douch(sic)" because I don't agree with you isn't going to ameliorate me to your cause. Can we have some maturity please. Review Righty-oh, think I'll jump on the bandwagon. I've owned Railworks (or Rail Simulator, Train Simulator 20xx) since 2010. Back then it was Railworks 2. We forgave it it's shortcomings. It trumped MSTS on features (for the time), was slightly pretty (even if it was behind everything else) but we were still in the warm glow of the community led MSTS days. A time when UKTrainsim flourished with add-ons, and near enough every class of British locomotive, DMU, EMU, DEMU etc was represented. We were expecting the same with Rail Simulator (as it was back then). I remember the posts on UKTrainsim's forums about how there was going to be community support, that if we all cobbled together we could develop our own content and it would be MSTS with a much improved physics and graphics engine. 4 (maybe 7) years on, and oh how things changed. First they took our HUD. That thing was good. Throttle display on one side, brakes and others. It was non-intrusive, fitted well and meant you could happily drive the train from an external view. That went. We tolerated the new HUD. It had more features but it was clunkier and intruded on the display. Uktrainsim published it's expansion packs. Which have remained in pretty much the same form to this day. They were good. A good starting point. They were free which was fantastic. But they were killed away. Railworks was rebranded as Train Simulator. Imagine my (non) surprise when I booted it up and nothing had changed apart from the overlays. It was laggier, and my content didn't work as well. But I forgave it this. They promised patches that never emerged. Instead we got more and more DLC. Trains that no-one wanted. Routes that made no sense. Train Simulators 2012, 2013, 2014 and now 2015 passed and the same base game, but less compatibility. Less focus on community content that didn't feature payware DLC (even on Uktrainsim, the once bastion of free content). The broken features from Rail Simulator remained. The crap dispatcher. The recycled sounds and features. The HST has remained in that form since the first game - update anyone? Finding fixes for relatively minor problems has been a continuous, frustrating and in some cases, fruitless exercise. Especially when it came to content creation. Scenarios that fail for seemingly arbitrary reasons. Non-negotiable (even by mashing G) pathing on freeroam scenarios that will place an express in a 40mph freight loop. The way that the game has two signalling systems for UK routes that don't talk to one another. One that is a pain to set up and one that isn't. In 2011, I started developing a midland mainline route for this game. That went nowhere because we got updated to TS2012 in the middle and I lost the ability to easily edit the route. And to finally ice the cake, with the release of TS2015 and it's subsequent patch, I managed to lose a partition on my hard disk due to a bad file downloaded from Steam. Bye bye 2 years of research. Thank goodness for back ups. If I could say that I have gained anything from TS, it is the following. I am a theoretical chemist. I use the high level software on a supercomputer to compute quantum chemical properties. In many ways, using this is a lot like using the content creator on TS2015. It's broken, and if you don't do it exactly right it will fail, but when it does work, it is the most satisfying feeling in the world. Shame it only happens every few months. People, don't buy this game. Don't buy the add-ons. Leave it alone. Move on to OpenBVE if you want realism, OpenRail if you want features. Oh and DTG, if you want to save this sinking ship, stop trying to monetise everything. Let the community create more non-DLC dependent freeware. Stop selling reskins as separate DLC. Basically, stop treating your (otherwise) loyal fanbase like chumps. We were loyal to begin with, but we will move on to other programs that don't treat us as walking wallets. EDIT: doing more investigation into TS2015. Even more of my DLC doesn't work. And my JT voyager seems to have vanished entirely. Hmm... fishy.

  I have the cab controller irl, which makes the game 10x more fun. The game has good sessions, 8/10 graphics, and a good community. The game is very relaxing. The con, has three letters in it. (Hint its DLC!) The game is HEAVILY based on DLC and the updates don't provide new content, consisting of more bug fixes, and just gets a new year title. I still have hopes for this game. I would get the game if your someone (like me with little to no women) who really likes trains, I would get it. Just, get ready for the wallet alright? But I think this game is my favorite train simulator and the second place winner for train games is Train Sim World. Love the game, I'd get it.

  If you like trains and/or want to build your own virtual train world check it out. Do a little research and get a route pack your interested in. I would stay away from some of the much older content and DLCs though since they are a bit dated but still fun if your into it.

  Had been looking at this game for years and thinking I would eventually get it someday. Got it from the last steam sale and was really excited to play it finally, but I only found it to be a buggy mess, with regular crashes and the main menu disappearing when I try to start up a scenario. Very disappointed, refunded.
