  Greed greed and more greed! This isn't the Trainz I grew up playing since Trainz 2004... The lack of content and having subscription based service to access pretty much all the content that was in previous games? Disgusting. I'll be sticking to Trainz Sim 19 thank you very much.

  seems pretty good so far, still the same issues as always it seems but a couple nice new little features. I'm just happy to see the Victorian based route lol

  Not sure why people dog this franchise so much. The base content alone is enough play to last a lifetime. Great game guys. Eager for 2.0 tool.

  I'm thoroughly impressed by the graphics upgrade I've gotten by switching from T:ANE to TRS2022, but I was very happily surprised to see the new Driver interface: it's similar to Train Simulator's HUD when you are in CAB mode, but you still can have the simple/easy dial control when in DCC. Had a bit of a hiccup moving all the content I got for T:ANE over to TRS2022, but now I'm looking forward to really working on my own route (not to mention painting it up with the wonderful PBR ground textures and TurfFX), and having access to pretty much all content available on the DLS and staying up-to-date. I hope this version of TRS continues receiving updates and support for a long time, before they make yet another one.

  Никому не рекомендую. Я не понял что это. Управление меню непонятное. В игре нет контента. Куча багов. Удовольствия ноль. Пожертвовал нуждающимся 60 евро. Вот и весь обзор. Ich empfehle es niemandem. Ich habe nicht verstanden, was es war. Menüführung ist unklar. Es gibt keine Inhalte im Spiel. Ein Haufen Bugs. Vergnügen ist Null. Ich habe 60 Euro an die Bedürftigen gespendet. Das ist die ganze Rezension. I don't recommend it to anyone. I didn't understand what it was. Menu management is unclear. There is no content in the game. A bunch of bugs. Pleasure is zero. I donated 60 euros to those in need. That's the whole review.

  I never write reviews because to me is I get what i buy no problem but this game sucks when is about controls, menus are weird as hell and even some of the trains have png textures most parts of the models. also most of the routes are not fixed to auto drive well or manual drive sometimes doesn't respond. I want my money back. I hate it here.

  i feel rather cheated by this release of trainz, as the content i was looking forward to exploring has been locked behind a trainz plus subscription that was not properly stated in the game description. in order to host your own map to play with friends, and to create maps with friends requires you to have trainz plus subscription.. on top of this i felt that the routes provided are just reused old routes. specially the kick start county map. for a new release that looked focused on multiplayer has been bare bones in content for such. now onto actual game content, the graphics feel a little improved and the engine does seem to run smoother then previous releases. multiplayer sync is also better compared to previous releases. how ever the content that comes base game is extremely bare bones compared to previous releases of trainz. (feels like they made a new game then stripped out everything new about it to put as a dlc or sneak into a subscription) the Download station (i expected to be terrible as it was confirmed to being exactly the same as previous versions of trainz) also note that your max download rate with out a first class ticket is gonna be hard limited to 4kbs... with the first class ticket i was getting 4-5mbs. (this pretty much requires people to pay just to enjoy a game with community built content because the main game was purposely stripped to be used for payware... onto the surveyor tool. its fairly easy to use with a little bit of trial and error, how ever the proclaimed large amount of assets to use seem to be lacking to the same assets they have had in previous trainz (unless they have this locked behind trainz plus as well?) also note that if your wanting to have more variety of train cars like wellcars for cargo container loads, expect to buy it as a dlc or waiting for ever on the download station for a community built 1. As much as i feel like writing this game off as a loss because it is not worth $70 at all.. i still want to hold a bit of hope that they can fix some of these issues by reducing some of this payware content requirement such as the multiplayer surveyor being locked to trainz plus. if i was to rate this game out of 10, id give it a 3.5 (the mechanics and potential is there for a great game, but its just locked away behind paywalls and dlc. and for the high price tag is just not valued for these things) if i was to estimate this games worth it would be as follows: -with payware requirements $15-$20 -with out payware requirements $50-$60 reason i believe it would be 50-60 with out payware is because it is a simulation type game and it does provide a rather large opportunity for sim players to build something far greater then what the original game did.

  Is it worth upgrading from Trs 19 to Trs 22? No! Right now this game is basically the same game, only with a few extra Routes... All the new Content, which would make the Upgrade worth the money like Multiplayer Surveyor is limited to bare bones and only really available by subscribing to Trainz Plus for an additional 70USD a year! (e.g. Playing with your friends on your own route or any other route apart from Kickstarter County and a british one) Is it worth buying if you don't have Trs19? Probably. The game is a pretty good route builder and has a LOT of content, so if you want a game for route building this one is pretty good. And as new content will most likely not be available on Trs19, it's probably better to invest in this one instead of Trs19.

  For what is a very expensive base game, you get nothing with it. Everything seems to want another $10-$20 for this session and that session. I've played these games before, but after 30 minutes of trying to figure out how to give anything other than tutorials to start, I want my money back. A greedy steal from a bunch of vulnerable railfans who simply want something easy.... you should be ashamed of this product.

  Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022 is really just a rehash of the 2019 game with not a lot changed. Firstly not all of the advertised and promised additional locomotive content has been released despite being plastered all over their promotion material for the new game. I am sure it will arrive sooner or later, but all of this content should have been available from day one! Secondly and more controversially N3V is now dividing the game (the base game and its functionality) into different versions. If like me you like to own your games - pay once and own it - you now get an inferior product to that of their Saas (Software as a Service) model. N3V have developed a new and updated Surveyor tool for creating your own routes within the game - they call this new tool S2.0 for Surveyor 2. But you ONLY get access to this new tool if you subscribe to either of their Gold or 'Trainz+" memberships. Which means if you stump up the cash to pay for the game outright up front you get an inferior product. The devs have already stated publicly that S2.0 will never appear in the standard base game of 2022 but may make an appearance in the next version or two in 2024-2025. This is disgraceful in my opinion! Perhaps if this was offered as a one time additional add-on for an extra fee it may be an easier pill to swallow, but to say you only get it if you perpetually subscribe and rent it - and btw you loose access to it if you cancel your subscription - is disgraceful. As a Linux user I refuse to use any software products that require an ongoing SaaS agreement. So it looks like although I have been a loyal fan of Trainz and own mnay of the versions, 2022 could be my last one. There are many train and railway simulators on the market now and N3V Trainz is just one of them. So bottom line, if you already own Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019 and are not really that interested in the updated locomotives, and you don't fancy perpetually renting Trainz just to get the full feature set then there really is very little reason to upgrade to the 2022 version.
