The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users describing them as clunky, flat, and cartoon-like, leading to a perception of poor quality overall. In contrast, some players appreciate the visual aspects, noting that the graphics are fantastic despite the absence of a surveyor mode. Comparisons to competitors highlight that other train simulation games, like Train Simulation 2016, offer superior graphics and a wider selection of content.
“Graphics are fantastic, and even though there is no surveyor mode, trains can still be placed by the player, allowing for exploration of any map.”
“The main difference between this game and its competitor Train Simulation 2016 (formerly Railworks) is that Railworks has a much larger selection of trains and new rail routes, plus the graphics are, in my opinion, much better.”

“Very poor graphics; I couldn't even open the game.”

The game's story is criticized for being misleading, lacking the promised features of building railroads and customizing trains, and instead offering only unengaging missions. Overall, players feel the narrative does not deliver on its initial claims.
“This game has nothing it claims in the video and description. It does not have the 'build your own railroad' feature or the 'make your own consist' option; all it has are the missions, and they are lackluster.”
