  • The game offers highly detailed and realistic subway simulations with accurate train models, controls, and authentic sounds, providing an immersive experience for fans of Berlin and Hamburg U-Bahn systems.
  • Features like dynamic schedules, various scenarios, career mode, and sandbox mode add depth and variety to gameplay, making it enjoyable and engaging.
  • The developers are actively improving the game, fixing bugs, and adding content, with a supportive community and potential for future expansion and modding.
  • Performance and optimization are major issues, with frequent frame rate drops, stuttering, and crashes even on high-end PCs, which significantly detracts from the experience.
  • Numerous bugs affect gameplay, including unfinishable scenarios, signal malfunctions, door glitches, missing save/load features, and some UI/UX problems that reduce immersion and usability.
  • The graphical quality and environment feel inconsistent, with low-resolution textures, poor lighting, and sparse or static scenery that do not meet expectations for a modern simulation game.

  • optimization

    Optimization for the game is widely criticized, with many users experiencing poor performance, stuttering, and unoptimized use of hardware, even on high-end PCs. Although some report smoother gameplay and incremental improvements from recent updates, overall optimization remains a significant issue that negatively impacts the experience. Developers appear to be addressing these problems, but a fully polished, well-optimized release is still pending.

    • “Performance is smooth, with solid optimization and intuitive controls.”
    • “Performance-wise, it runs smoothly with minimal bugs, and the visuals are top-notch for a sim title.”
    • “Update: it's been 2 months and the game has seen significant improvements, especially in performance.”
    • “Terrible optimization, even a year after its release.”
    • “The biggest letdown is the performance, so I'd highly recommend using a program on Steam called Lossless Scaling and using the frame generation the program provides (if you want to enjoy a smooth 60 fps); otherwise it's a hell of a stuttery jittery mess. The game really needs optimization badly.”
    • “I was disappointed, even though I have a very high-performance gaming PC with a GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, the graphics of the game at 'Epic' setting do not match the presentation videos offered on Steam... everything is pixelated, not very fluid, and laggy.”

    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    35% positive mentions, 56% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The game's graphics show detailed environments, realistic models, and good lighting, though many users report frequent performance issues, including low frame rates, occasional graphical glitches, and suboptimal optimization even on high-end PCs. While visuals are praised as impressive for a simulation, there are complaints about inconsistent quality, fuzziness in moving objects, and a need for better scaling and anti-aliasing. Overall, the graphics are decent but hindered by poor optimization and would benefit from a significant upgrade.

    • “Nice graphics, good quality sounds and accurate models.”
    • “The graphics are visually impressive, with a lot of attention to detail in the environment, trains, and lighting.”
    • “The graphics are very good too, I can only imagine what it looks like on epic settings.”
    • “The graphics often have a strange fuzzy-smearing with moving objects like windshield wipers and doors, and textures load from N64 quality to PS3 quality upon loading a map.”
    • “Especially after the last update, the Berlin part of the game became almost unplayable. Graphics settings do not change much, CPU and GPU utilization is low, average FPS is around 20 on medium settings, and the game freezes for a fraction of a second every time the AI train appears.”
    • “Even though my rig exceeds the recommended specs, the game has very low frame rates in places and has many graphical glitches.”

  • gameplay

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 56% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions

    The gameplay is praised for its variety and realism, with engaging mechanics like the "generate shift" feature and diverse missions that keep the experience fresh. Driving specific lines and managing challenges such as rush hours add depth, while new services and scenarios enhance diversity. However, some repetition in passenger design and gameplay loops was noted, though overall improvements in mechanics and visuals were well received.

    • “The missions are varied and keep the gameplay fresh, whether you're managing tight schedules during rush hour or dealing with unexpected service interruptions.”
    • “They built on that and the gameplay mechanics (XP for good driving, stopping, etc.) is great fun!”
    • “I upgraded from the old one and think this one is quite the step up from the previous version visually and gameplay wise.”
    • “They could salvage the game mechanics by completely re-doing the game engine and graphics.”
    • “However, the overall gameplay, that of being a train driver, is practically the same.”
    • “My only cons are identical passengers and the repetitive gameplay loop.”

  • stability

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent stutters, freezes, low frame rates, and graphical glitches, especially in scenario mode and the Berlin section after recent updates. Despite running on high-end hardware, users experience performance drops and bugs such as buggy AI trains, door animations, and sound problems, making the gameplay frustrating and unreliable.

    • “Especially after the last update, the Berlin part of the game became almost unplayable. Graphics settings do not change much, CPU and GPU utilization is low, and the game runs horribly. Average FPS is low; arriving at stations is around 20 FPS on medium settings, and every time an AI train appears, the game freezes for a fraction of a second. I cannot recommend it at this stage. (Specs: 10700k + 3070)”
    • “That doesn't prevent the drive from being a festival of stutters, freezes, and out-of-memory crashes.”
    • “Even though my rig exceeds the recommended specs, the game has very low frame rates in places and has many graphical glitches.”

  • story

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game features no traditional story, but varied mission scenarios provide engaging and dynamic gameplay that offers a sense of progression and diversity.

    • “The missions are varied and keep the gameplay fresh, whether you're managing tight schedules during rush hour or dealing with unexpected service interruptions.”
    • “No story”
    • “No story”
    • “However, the situations on offer are good, giving some variety to the standard action and almost incorporating a story.”

  • atmosphere

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The game’s atmosphere is praised for its realistic day/night cycle, weather effects, and authentic depictions of Berlin and Hamburg’s train systems, creating an immersive experience. However, graphical issues like glitching shadows and poor loading models occasionally detract from the overall ambiance.

    • “I especially loved the day/night cycle and the weather effects, which really add to the atmosphere.”
    • “What sets this game apart is its attention to realism and atmosphere.”
    • “The atmosphere the game manages to achieve while driving the trains through the tunnels and above viaducts of Hamburg and Berlin definitely feels very great.”
    • “Glitching shadows, bad exterior models, and poorly timed loading of LOD models still destroy some of that atmosphere.”

  • grinding

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    Users acknowledge that grinding is a significant part of the game, requiring considerable time and effort, which aligns with the realistic nature of commuter rail driving. While some find it somewhat repetitive, it reflects the authentic experience intended by the game.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “It's a little bit grindy because you've only got the three routes, but that is commuter rail.”
    • “Driving that in real life is grindy, that is why they pay you.”

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users note that the game's music, alongside its other elements like videos and sounds, is compactly integrated, contributing to a surprisingly small overall file size comparable to that of large RPGs like "The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind."

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game is praised for its humor, being described as a funny simulator that delivers an entertaining and lighthearted experience.
