Train Sim World 4

“Clearly, optimization isn't Dovetail's forte, which is evident from the countless house and vehicle models that are spammed mindlessly throughout most maps.”

“This game is plagued by constant freezes, pauses, glitches, audio dropouts and repetitions, and general issues with poor performance.”

“The stuttering (that the devs said is unavoidable no matter your machine) is just atrocious.”

“The gameplay loop is inherently repetitive, and maybe this is a symptom of the game's realism, but it turns out driving a train is not particularly challenging or engaging.”

“Expect to have big wallets if you want this game because DLC buying is most of the gameplay.”

“Tl;dr: graphics are great, but gameplay is sterile, vague, boring, and immersion-shattering with every drop in FPS, like it can't load fast enough.”

“This game is plagued by constant freezes, pauses, glitches, audio dropouts and repetitions, and general issues with poor performance.”

“The amount of frame drops, stutters, and freezes that you experience in a single run is truly unacceptable!”

“I feel ripped off buying this bug-ridden game as I am sure many others do too.”

“The interface improvements are also minimal - after completing a mission, a short text appears at the top - which you don't even have time to read, and then you are immediately taken to the home page. No summary after an hour of driving, no rewards, no overall mission completion information. Even then, there's a chance you'll spend 3 hours on a mission, only to get stuck on yet another bug.”

“I am not talking about small glitches, but about game-breaking bugs which prevent you from completing a mission/tutorial. Resetting the simulation physics didn’t help and there was no feedback at all – I had to abort the mission. Sadly, numerous times I have experienced a situation that just when I was about to start enjoying the game, another bug brought me back to square one and I had to abort the mission.”

“The game is extremely underwhelming, struggles to run even though it looks way worse than the previous game, all my DLCs were missing upon installation, lowering the graphics quality doesn't change the frame rate issue, the high graphic setting is the new low graphic setting, with pixelated people, displays, light rays, etc. The game also has no training section for the LNER line, so when you do a mission you have to figure things out for yourself.”

“Just a repackaged Train Sim World 3; it's a blatant cash grab with no real improvements that we want, like start point and consist builder that MSTS had.”

“Has tons of performance drops, not much different from the previous games, over $2000 of DLC, shameless cash grab.”

“It's not much different from TSW3 to me, and the biggest bugbear is having to buy the core game again; what a lousy cash grab.”

“Stutters along and gives no way to disable the obnoxiously loud music that plays during scenarios, obscuring in-cab and ambient sounds.”

“Sadly, I'm just a lowly musician, so I'll just keep throwing money at DTG until someone better comes along.”

“A year later - they announce TSW 4, make a trailer with a Depeche Mode song and update the graphics just a little bit.”

“I personally want to finish all timetables and scenarios for specific trains, a tedious task but definitely something I'd love to brag about when I finish all of them.”

“Decent mind-numbing game which demands your concentration but won't nag you about 'daily quests' and 'grinding gear'.”

“You'll need a second life for grinding.”

“This completely ruined the atmosphere when you wanted to watch your train travel around the landscapes from a fly-over view.”

“The game's physics engine is trash and nothing like real trains. They accelerate too fast, the game world is devoid of life, there's no sounds or atmosphere, there are bugs and glitches all over including passengers floating and walking through the air and the track, which has been present since the first version of the game.”
