what button do I press? What do they even say? But perhaps things could be even better with something that marks you on the quality of your driving, rather than just the time taken? Don't get me wrong, driving the trains is still a lot of fun, with each feeling different to the last, and pushing yourself to stick to the timetable (and the speed limits) means you have to stay involved. Ditto for using your emergency brakes to stop - sure, you may end up with square wheels, but if you stop on the dot, you're still a perfect driver. You can whack the heat up to max in the carriages on an already sunny day, and none of your passengers really seem to care.

I'm pretty sure drivers are meant to sound their horn before passing through tunnels, etc, but the game never asks you to, nor rewards/punishes you for doing so.
Perhaps the scenarios could be beefed up with unexpected events happening - maybe a passenger being taken ill, or a fuse blowing on the train (if you're going to go to all that effort of modelling all the switches and auxiliary systems, you may as well give us an excuse to use them) - while the game itself could score you on more things. While that's better than Train Sim used to do - when you could just floor it from one end to the other, doing 100mph round bends with a 20mph limit without issue - it does still feel like either the journey mode, or the scenarios, could do with having a little bit more to them.

Just want to gawp at Cologne's cathedral? It's easy nowįor every trip you take, you'll be being scored on your skills as a driver - but unfortunately, that still only really means whether you drive at the speed limit or not.

There's also, happily, the ability to plan your own service (finally!), so if you want to just zip from Baker Street to Marylebone, you can do just that, without having to choose from one of Dovetail's pre-approved routes. Starting out with the tutorials, the journey mode leads you by the hand and tries to keep things feeling fresh, by alternating where you're going from and to, weaving together a variety of things for you to do. As in Train Sim World 2020, while there are collectibles to be found scattering the lines and train stations, the main attraction in each pack is the "journey" mode, or essentially a career, that combines both "scenarios" (pre-set trips that take you through doing something a bit more complex - like running a very heavy load of cargo up the mountains in bad weather, letting you admire the game's stunning weather effects) and timetabled services, which are more hands-off itineraries that ask you to get from A to B. Meanwhile, Cologne - Aachen offers yet another very different challenge, letting you either go intercity on the ICE train (in which case you'll be spending most of your time looking out for speed limits and making sure you aren't going too fast), or dashing between the smaller towns on a commuter run in the DB-442 Talent-2.Īnd seeing as the only way I can identify this one is through the (cool, new) livery editor, the GP38-2Įach route essentially exists as its own, individual entity, with its own selection of things to do.

Rather than having to worry about sticking to the timetable, all you have to do is make sure everything gets where it's going, doing absolutely everything yourself - hopping on and off your train to switch the points, couple the trains, or fill hoppers full of coal (OK, that last one's done mostly for you - but you do have to use a crazy on-board computer to set your train to go slow, so they'll actually fill up).

Over in America, the Sand Patch Grade provides all the heavy, industrial work you could want, and a very different kind of driving experience. If you want an intense, time-based challenge (not to mention plenty of novelty value), you'll take on the to-the-second-timing of the Bakerloo line and the underground, where every mistake you make sees you falling further and further behind against your schedule. What's really clever about this (and what Dovetail do so well) is that while you may look at the list and think "ah, it's just a bunch of trains", there's actually a huge amount of variety here.
