  • graphics
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game are generally praised for their beauty and detail, with many users noting the impressive cityscapes and vehicle models. However, some players report performance issues, including crashes and graphical glitches, particularly when running on high settings. While the visuals are considered a significant upgrade from previous titles, there are mixed opinions on optimization and overall quality, with some users finding them lacking compared to other contemporary simulations.

    • “The graphics are beautiful and the performance is fantastic for me with high graphics settings.”
    • “The world, cars, and map are beautiful — I really like the graphics.”
    • “Graphics, attention to detail, physics, optimization (it’s better than in tramsim) and in general this simulator is made of higher quality, it looks cool.”
    • “The game graphics and city model don't compare to the original games at all.”
    • “The graphics of the whole environment are very simple; for example, the textures of the roads are actually non-existent.”
    • “You do need quite the gaming PC to run this at least 30fps on full graphics, as it is still very inefficient with rendering.”
  • gameplay
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the gameplay has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the solid driving mechanics and unique features like route creation, but expressing frustration over unbalanced gameplay, critical flaws, and performance issues. While the physics and sound design are praised, many users feel that the game lacks sufficient gameplay mechanics and suffers from bugs that detract from the experience. Improvements in stability and additional gameplay features are desired to enhance the overall enjoyment.

    • “The core gameplay, especially the feature allowing players to create their own routes, is genuinely enjoyable.”
    • “I could live with waiting for some gameplay improvements, but the constant crashes make it a hellish experience even though my system should be able to handle this without much effort.”
    • “Gameplay is very restrictive and you must drive exactly as the game asks (e.g. you cannot close the doors less than four seconds after they open).”
    • “Within just a minute of starting the game, I encountered critical gameplay flaws that are impossible to overlook.”
  • optimization
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing smooth performance on high settings, while others report frequent stuttering, freezing, and crashes, particularly in certain areas. Many users noted that the game feels unpolished and plagued by bugs, leading to frustration, especially when compared to similar titles. Overall, the optimization appears inconsistent, heavily dependent on individual hardware setups, and often requires lowering graphics settings to achieve playable performance.

    • “The graphics are beautiful and the performance is fantastic for me with high graphics settings.”
    • “Performance in VR with my 4090 GPU and AMD 9800X is butter smooth.”
    • “Graphics, attention to detail, physics, optimization (it’s better than in tram sim) and in general this simulator is made of higher quality, it looks cool.”
    • “Stuttering and freezing every few seconds; turning everything to low is the only way the game runs, but it looks terrible.”
    • “An unoptimized and unpolished mess!”
    • “Right now the game has terrible performance, has tons of glitches, and is completely overpriced, especially the DLCs.”
  • stability
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, technical glitches, and performance issues such as low frame rates and crashes. Common problems include erratic AI behavior, texture errors, and significant gameplay interruptions caused by collisions and traffic jams.

    • “Right now the game has terrible performance, has tons of glitches, and is completely overpriced, especially the DLCs.”
    • “These are not minor glitches—they're fundamental issues that ruin the experience.”

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users feel that the monetization in the game can be excessive, drawing comparisons to other titles like OMSI. However, they appreciate that the updates are frequent and introduce valuable new content that enhances the overall experience.
