Train Simulator Classic Reviews

Very good and fun.

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

good game crash trains wont kick YOU lcs love it

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

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.

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.

Amazing game play, graphics and detail.

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.

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.

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.
