Train Simulator Classic 2024

do NOT buy this game, it's severely overpriced considering it's a buggy game from 2009 with barely any updates since then. spend your money on anything but this game

a super immersive experience for the mild and hardcore railway enthusiast, with lots of routes and locomotives to choose from (provided you buy the DLCs....) but other than that it's a great buy.

Great train simulator runs fine even on my slow laptop very relaxing as well

The game is so bad at views…… What dovetail is only working on DLC not fixxing bugs, maybe you should try TSW5

wonder if anyone or moderators can create the legendary Eagle Mountain railway branchline owned by Southern Pacific railroad co. [situated from Ferrum, Ca. beside Salton Sea directly towards the Eagle Mountain township and facilities] since the tracks were up-rooted and scrapped (though in google maps default, rail-path is present)

Not as good graphicaly as TSW5 but has much better systems to play including built in custom route and senario designers. You need to fiddle around with graphic setting to optimise your gameplay for your pc setup but thats not too bad. Be mindful not to adjust your display aspect to a setting not supported by your graphics and monitor as you will not see the game interface and have to restart the game in safe mode to readjust the settings which can be fun.

Overeall i like the game.

Good game, but sometimes optimalisation isnt very good. But if you love trains and have a lot of money than this is great game fo you

Not to Shabby. Back in 2009, I had Pro Trains Plus when I was in Germany. Even though that was fun at the time. I do remember it was more of you had to dive deep into the train world I felt to play the game. Which wasn't bad. But it was more of thinking ahead rather than driving the train. Or at least that's how I remember it to be. But this is not the case with Trains Sim 24. Right now I have just completed the optional Tutorials of operations of the trains and all the surrounding area that you may need to know. Again this is optional. Graphics are plush, not to over baring. At time of this review. There is so much DLC for this content. I'm liking what I see. As of today, I caught this while it was on sale, while I don't say this often. I would have paid full price for this game. It's very nice and easy to navigate around. Go job on this.

Games Needs Mods, But Once You Learn How To Mod, The Game Is Amazing

This is the best train simulator game I have ever played. I love the option to build your own railway. I also really like the large amount of DLCs and add-ons that you can find on Steam and elsewhere online. 10/10

I bought it and rode everything possible within Austria with the most remarkable sets.

Great game especially like me when you are waiting for the time to build a Model Railway

Pretty Good. I Actually Enjoyed the Game a lot. But if you own a Low end pc the game lags a lot but its still a good game. Recommended

Good game

This game is really fun, and you can never get bored. I play this game for hours and hours yet i still feel excited when play it. I recommend it to players who like driving/bus games. I personally think people underrate this game, especially because nowadays people care for graphics and money instead of the actual game play. If you're trying to get the game, please get it! 5/5

this game is very fun to waste endless time on and dlc is often discounted and makes the game very affordable and keeps it fresh.

after giving 400 rupees for indian addons it is the best

very good game but not the best graphics but good if you have a better pc

Much better than TS World, and also the route editor is amazing! 2009 was the time, y'all.

So I used to have this game but I refunded it because it was just too much money for my card to handle so it was fun at first but maybe adding a demo or a prologue would be nice especially for people like me who has shi* in there wallet.

Great game for Rail Fans, as there is a lot out there for it. Unfortunately, some DLC is better then others.

Great for those who simply want to drive trains (and don't care about getting in and out of them)!

Very good and fun.

The best train simulator game!

VERY GOOD GAME AFTER YOU GET MODS

Kinda Mid Tbh

If you like trains and driving them, well this is the place for you. 9 out of 10 from me but I am a millionaire. haha

Most DLC runs like garbage regardless of how good your system is and many of the signals and speed limits are incorrectly labelled on-map and in-game making some scenarios impossible to complete. If the Dovetail devs learned from the devs of Euro Truck Simulator then maybe they'd actually make a good product. I never had these issues with that game.

This game is perfect for all train enthusiasts. Lots of routes, lots of trains! Everything you could imagine is on this game

fun

I have played Train Simulator Classic off and on for several years now. And while I put more time towards its Train Sim World counterpart (for more forgiving gameplay and better graphics), the fact is that "Train Simulator Classic" is a game that has so much support, so much content and developers finding a way to make a 20+ year game work and look much better.

First and foremost, you are not coming into Train Simulator Classic (Train Simulator Classic 2024) for the best graphics, you are coming into this game knowing its the most challenging train sim game that requires near perfection.

If you don't give it perfection, tough luck, you are going to fail and replay the game which is not fun if the actual route is nearly two hours long. Nor is it forgiving if you were perfect 98% of the way, if you really mess up towards the end, consider it a failure.

Train Simulator Classic is brutal, but so is the life of a train conductor. Punctuality and knowing what to do IRL is a lot of pressure and there are people who are ready for the challenge of having that near real life experience and why this game is beloved.

Again, so much support with trains and routes throughout the world. And sales that happen so often, it'll no doubt make rail sim fans happy.

But in the end, it all comes down to you:

Train Simulator Classic - A lot of support, a lot of train and route add ons, not as great graphically and while fun, it can be frustrating as the game demands perfection on your part. If you want that real life experience and want the challenge to be a conductor and the responsibilities that comes with it. Choose this game!

Train Simulator World - Nowhere close to the amount of routes or trains featured on TSC, but graphically it looks way better than TSC and not as demanding and less frustrating than its counterpart. No need for perfection, being close enough is fine! If you want to have fun but go at your own pace and not worry about being a conductor like in real life and just want to have fun with less frustration.

Definitely worth it and if you can own both, great if you are railway sim fan but choose wisely if you want to save money.

fantastic game highly recermended

yes but the game crashes a lot and you need DLCs to have fun.

This simulator is fun for those who enjoy the railroad life or enjoy the game as a whole.

good game crash trains wont kick YOU lcs love it

If you dont want to pay for addons (which a LOT of them are) prepare to delve into websites deemd as unsafe. Free roam mode is basically pay walled as you need a map compatible with it in order to play it. Selecting nothing and pressing start crashes the game. The alternative is to edit vanilla maps which can be pretty complicated. Would not reccomend.

Good game, has most of the routes you would like to drive in England.

Despite it's age, I still think you should pick it up on a discount. It's decent still all things considered

Wanted to try this game after playing train sim world for many years. I had big hopes for this, but no! This game is horrific. Some trains and maps are all right, but still worse than any other map from TSW. The train textures and modelling is not realistic or enjoyable at all. The sound are also really poor. If you are not planning on spending big amounts of money on DLC's, i would not recommend this game.

It is simply outdated and feels like a roblox game. Just invest in TSW and its new DLC's!

It's okay for train lovers.

Great game once you have a lot routes and invested in it.

I purchased the base game with the intent of purchasing DLC later for the routes I'd like to see. However, the base game lacked sufficient content to get me hooked to begin with. Lack of detail in the environment convinced me not to waste my money on DLC's that cost as much as most complete A-list games. This series just seems like a very expensive money-grab. I expected American Trucking Simulator level of environmental detail, and ended up with Flight Simulator a-la 1993. Refund requested.

Very Good train sim but the dlc can be a bit on the pricier side

It has been a worthy replacement for Microsoft Train Simulator. I have recommended it to other friends.

I refuse to buy anything from DTG again. Most horrible games company ever, cynically screwing money from users with such a poor product.

The only way to get a really good trainsim made is to stop giving your money to DTG and hoping they make this better. They won't. Give it to more deserving devs.

Amazing game play, graphics and detail.

this game is very nice for grafik and shapness about this game

This sim has realistic physics.

Moderate trash, but I guess for the price and time of release, it is acceptable. I am only playing this because of PC restrictions. My PC is a potato. Just play TSW5 if you can.
