“To much of a money grab. You buy the game and six months later a new one comes out and you have to buy again! Same trains, same routes, just wash, rinse, and repeat. Save your money and buy from the plethora of other train games out there…”
“this game is just very expensive and the developers aren't that great. it's like DCS but the base game is $20 with no content but the training center. it's fun but not worth it. oh and it's almost the same as Train Sim World 4 and 5.”
