The graphics in Tram Sim Munich are generally praised for their high quality and realism, creating an immersive experience of driving through Munich. However, many users report issues with optimization, including stuttering and lag, which detracts from the overall visual experience. While the graphics are considered superior to previous titles like TSW2, the game's performance inconsistencies have led to mixed reviews regarding its graphical execution.
“Just judging what we have: Tram Sim Munich is amazing, graphics are top level, the systems (IBIS) in the tram work decently. I would love to at least see the night mode added though haha.”
“Overall, the game is very good; nothing I can say about the graphics, they're just very realistic.”
“Graphics are well done; it feels like I am driving through Munich.”
“Poorly optimized and graphically mediocre; it's a totally useless game that isn't worth the price, even if purchased with Steam balances.”
“Graphics are the only thing that saves it, lol.”
“As a negative point of view, you have to remap most of the keys due to the awkward default control scheme and because this game is not a DLC, you need to re-map the keybindings and set your favorite graphic options once again.”

The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with players reporting frequent stuttering, lag, and poor performance even on capable hardware. Despite its impressive graphics, these technical issues detract from the overall experience, leading many to deem it unworthy of its price tag. While some users note satisfactory performance under certain conditions, the general consensus is that the game is poorly optimized and requires substantial improvements.
“🟢 Graphics and performance are at a satisfactory level.”
“Performance is good, I suppose, for my specs, though stuttering while loading parts of the map still exists.”
“I personally would prefer this to be 2D with decent textures to avoid this; maybe this would greatly help performance for some users?”
“Performance patches; this game does not run well at all as of yet, my 2080 is getting a little old admittedly, however there is no excuse for a game that I paid almost £30 to run at 40 fps with lots of stutters.”
“Tramsim has been widely reviewed as very graphic intensive, sadly the wonderful graphics and simulation of the vehicles is let down by stuttering and lagging at regular intervals.”
“This game is totally not worth the money, it is poorly optimized, there are lags in the game, the AI is ridiculous (cars blocking the road, cars traversing the tram....)”

Gameplay across the Munich and Vienna versions shows notable inconsistency, particularly in menu design and settings, with the Vienna version featuring improved timetable mode options that are absent in Munich. Additionally, players report significant gameplay issues, such as AI characters disappearing and failing to respawn until a new game is started.
“The menus between Munich and Vienna game versions are not consistent; the Vienna version has been tidied up with timetable mode gameplay settings and a few tweaks, which have not been repeated in the Munich version, causing inconsistency.”
“Graphics and gameplay are well integrated, enhancing the overall experience.”
“During gameplay, AI characters disappear and do not spawn again until a new game is launched, which can disrupt the flow.”
