optimization14 positive mentions
stability15 negative mentions
  • Significant graphical and performance improvements including DirectX 12, DLSS, FSR, and enhanced lighting, making the game look and run much better, especially on high-end PCs.
  • New features such as adjustable Field of View, Live Weather, AI Conductors, Beginner Controls, and the innovative Freight Hauler mode add depth, accessibility, and new ways to play.
  • The core routes, particularly the UK Airedale & Wharfedale Network, are well-received and immersive, offering diverse and enjoyable experiences with realistic trains and environments.
  • The game is seen as a minor update rather than a true new release, causing frustration over redundant re-downloads of DLC and bugs persisting from previous versions.
  • Numerous bugs and technical issues remain including stuttering, crashes (notably on some routes), inconsistent AI conductor behavior, incomplete Freight Hauler mode, and control/UI problems.
  • High DLC pricing without sufficient improvements or loyalty discounts combined with poor optimization and performance issues on some routes leads to negative views on value for money.

  • optimization

    73 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    19% positive mentions, 63% neutral mentions, 18% negative mentions

    Optimization in Train Sim World 7 shows significant improvements over previous versions, particularly with DirectX 12 and DLSS support, resulting in smoother performance, reduced stuttering, and higher frame rates on medium to high-end PCs. However, inconsistent performance across different routes and occasional micro-stutters persist, with some users experiencing poor optimization and performance drops despite hardware upgrades. Overall, while much better than earlier entries, optimization still needs refinement to fully eliminate stuttering and performance variability.

    • “Dx12 and new graphics settings improve performance.”
    • “Runs smoothly 120 fps at the new epic settings natively, with no fsr and frame generation enabled; almost zero stutters (major major difference compared to tsw 6, tested on the new routes: airedale & wharfedale network and bahnstrecke nürnberg - würzburg), even with (modded) extreme passenger amounts.”
    • “There are significant improvements in tsw7 compared to the previous version, in my opinion easily the greatest incremental improvement to date - in particular graphical enhancements designed to more fully utilise the performance capabilities of modern medium to high end pcs; it is smoother and higher fidelity and therefore considerably more immersive and realistic.”
    • “Runs very poorly, stuttering, even on low settings with a reasonably average system.”
    • “This year's iteration of Train Sim World is still an unoptimized mess, as always. But this year they give you the option to apply an NVIDIA branded or FSR shaped bandage, so the unoptimized mess underneath is less noticeable.”
    • “Micro-stutters are, I think, a tradition in this game, and we will never get rid of them (bravo, Dovetail! I don't know what your problem is, because we are at the end of 2026, but you are still giving us micro-stutters. You need to study optimization – or what else is wrong?).”

  • graphics

    70 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 66% neutral mentions, 4% negative mentions

    Train Sim World 7 features a significant graphical overhaul with improved lighting, enhanced realism, and new PC settings including DirectX 12, DLSS 4.5, FSR 4, and adjustable field of view, resulting in smoother performance and more immersive visuals. While some users note bugs and that improvements may not feel revolutionary, most agree the graphics represent the best and most modern iteration in the series, delivering a noticeable step up in fidelity and realism compared to previous versions.

    • “There are significant improvements in TSW7 compared to the previous version, in my opinion easily the greatest incremental improvement to date - in particular graphical enhancements designed to more fully utilise the performance capabilities of modern medium to high end PCs; it is smoother and higher fidelity and therefore considerably more immersive and realistic.”
    • “Jetwash and his mates have been allowed to assist the company and now the graphics, lighting and smooth stutter free rendition make it a pleasure to drive through the scenery.”
    • “Using DLSS provides sharper visuals, and the new lighting system makes a truly massive difference than I thought.”
    • “It runs poorly for the graphics quality and is full of bugs, most of which are not game-breaking.”
    • “Game stutters like hell on medium settings, graphics are just copy and pasted, HUD stayed the same.”
    • “I still have to run the game in 2k because your sim can't handle anymore even though my graphics card is nowhere even close to be used.”

  • stability

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    6% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 94% negative mentions

    The game's stability is inconsistent, with users reporting frequent bugs, glitches, and occasional crashes, though some note improvements over previous versions. While certain features like the automatic guard show promise, buggy behaviors and scenario issues persist, leading to a frustrating experience for some players. However, a few users experience smoother performance, indicating variability depending on hardware or platform.

    • “Runs great on epic for me so far”
    • “The game is buggy as hell just like tsw6, except with more bugs and less bug compensating features.”
    • “Had deluxe tsw6 and thought "why not let's upgrade" and microfreezes every second, average fps of 40 and just crashed randomly and took 5 minutes to close.”
    • “Some improvements, some regressions, buggy scenarios (first scenario I played required you to turn the tail lights on, prepare the cab at the other end, and then requires you to go all the way back to the other cab to incorrectly turn the tail lights off instead of turning the tail lights off in the cab you're about to drive from).”

  • gameplay

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 46% neutral mentions, 27% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers decent replayability through randomly generated tasks and dynamic events, allowing players to approach objectives in varied ways. However, some users report a lack of clear purpose, emergent gameplay, and technical issues affecting the overall experience. Despite tuning options for lower-end hardware, certain gameplay and visual flaws diminish immersion for some players.

    • “There are plenty of tuning options to enable perfectly adequate gameplay on older or lower end hardware.”
    • “The randomly generated gameplay gives Freight Hauler fantastic replayability and finally gives freight operations a mode where you can approach the job your own way.”
    • “The addition of random events influencing timetable gameplay also helps make the railway feel less predictable and more alive.”
    • “I don't know who is testing these game/DLC releases for the developer, but they must be blind or incredibly oblivious if I (and many others) are spotting glaring issues in the scenery and gameplay after just a little over an hour.”
    • “⬜⬜⬜⬜ [6/10] gameplay & depth”
    • “And this is after only about 30 minutes of gameplay.”

  • music

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for being calming, catchy, and nostalgic, with many users highlighting the excellent soundtrack by Benjamin Symons. Some fans feel the current music surpasses previous installments, while a few prefer the soundtrack from earlier versions. Overall, the music significantly enhances the gaming experience despite occasional mixed opinions.

    • “The music is an absolute eargasms.”
    • “I downloaded this 150 GB game just to listen to the amazing menu music.”
    • “Improved graphics is a massive bonus and even things down as little as the menu music—really calming and catchy at the same time; definitely a song that will become nostalgic in a few years' time.”
    • “Then I listened to the menu music again and cried tears of sadness since Dovetail Games has done this to us again and will likely continue to try to scam their players over and over forever until Train Sim World 17 is released when the franchise will finally be taken over by our future AI overlords and put out of its misery.”
    • “One other thing I don't like but I know won't be changed is the UI, dull grey and vibrant red/orange doesn't work at all to me, and the music isn't anything special; TSW5 and 6 had the best music to me.”
    • “One other thing I don't like but I know won't be changed is the UI, dull grey and vibrant red/orange doesn't work at all to me, and the music isn't anything special; TSW5 and 6 had the best music to me.”

  • story

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

    • “No story.”

  • grinding

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is described as excessively tedious and poorly designed, making progress frustratingly slow and laborious. Updates that erase saved work further exacerbate the negative experience, leading players to strongly discourage others from playing due to the intense and unrewarding grind.

  • replayability

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

    The game's new features, such as freight hauler and automatic guard mode, enhance replayability by offering varied and engaging gameplay. The randomly generated scenarios provide players with unique experiences each time, allowing for personalized approaches and increased long-term enjoyment.

    • “The new features, like freight hauler and automatic guard mode, while beset with some teething problems, are a lot of fun and offer tons of replay value.”
    • “The randomly generated gameplay gives Freight Hauler fantastic replayability and finally gives freight operations a mode where you can approach the job your own way.”

  • humor

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

    Users find the humor aspect lacking or subtle, noting an absence of clearly funny moments and uncertainty whether this is due to changes or different behavior. Overall, the humor is understated and not overtly noticeable.
