Do you remember the days when you could go on the underground without having to struggle for breath through a flimsy mask, eyeing anyone who even so much as looks like they’re thinking about coughing with great suspicion (boy, is that ever an intro that’ll date this review)? Us too. But with the normal world still on hiatus for the time being, if you’re longing to take in the sights and sounds of the underground without being struck down by plague 2.0, you could do a lot worse than dive into the next best thing, and step behind the wheel (or at the very least, the deadman’s handle) of the train for yourself, in Dovetail Games’ near pixel-perfect recreation of the Bakerloo line (and so much more) in Train Sim World 2.Following on from Train Sim World 2020 and Train Sim World: The Original, those who are familiar with the series will know what they’re letting themselves in for here. For everyone else – Train Sim World is a first-person, Unreal engine-powered simulator that lets you walk the line, drive the track, and get your hands dirty with almost everything a real train driver would do on a range of authentically modelled (and great looking) trains.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

where (almost) every bell, whistle and lever works as it would do in real life.Yet despite the 2 moniker, it looks like any real major changes must have happened under the hood, as there doesn’t seem to be any new, huge, ground-breaking features here. Instead, Dovetail assure us the engine has been tweaked to prep the way for the features we’ve all been waiting for in the near future, like steam trains and multiplayer. Instead, Train Sim World 2 bundles together an impressive variety of brand new lines – the Bakerloo line for the UK; the Cologne – Aachen high speed line (or ” Schnellfahrstrecke Kln – Aachen” for those who enjoy the feel of leather shorts); and the simultaneously very scenic, yet incredibly industrial Sand Patch Grade for the hot dog fans across the pond – a heavily industrial line that sees you hauling heavy, heavy cargo across the Allegheny Mountains through Pennsylvania. Most people probably think of train simulators as a fairly niche genre within the gaming world, and although they are probably right, that isn’t to say you have to be a train fanatic to enjoy them.

Train Sim World 2 DB BR 187 Loco Add-On.

Anyone who has played Dovetail Games’ series train simulators will know that they are surprisingly accessible even to just the casual fan, as well as providing countless hours of fun for simulator enthusiasts. Since its release in 2018, Train Sim World has grown and evolved with various DLC releases, allowing you to experience driving various trains through four different countries. TSW2 now builds upon that, providing an updated platform that features improvements to both the graphics and the physics, while laying the foundations for steam engines and multiplayer to be added in future. The two new routes include Köln–Aachen in Germany (featuring both the high speed ICE 3M and regional Talent 2 train), and the London Underground’s Bakerloo Line. Sand Patch Grade, which was the first route in TSW, also makes a return with a bit of a sprucing up. Each of the routes are highly detailed and, speaking as a Londoner, I can vouch that the Bakerloo Line is impressively accurate in its representation. Not only are the stations faithfully replicated (regular commuters will recognise the Sherlock Holmes tiles at Baker Street), but even above ground.New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe

I was able to recognise familiar buildings like the Royal Mail Depot near Stonebridge Park. A few things can break the immersion though, such as the presence of passengers still on your train when you enter sidings after finishing the route, and the overall sounds are lacking, both in terms of volume and accuracy. As you’re free to get out of your train and walk around the stations, the first thing you’ll notice is that the platforms are sparsely populated in terms of passengers, although the adverts on the platforms themselves look true to life. Little things like the PA announcements or staff dispatching trains from the platform would make a nice touch if they were added. Exploring the stations by foot also enables you to complete optional objectives, such as placing route maps or refilling first aid kits. The Köln–Aachen route offers a change of scene to the dark tunnels beneath London. Driving the route with the ICE 3M, which can easily reach speeds 250kmph, trees and buildings whip by. It’s here that the external camera comes in handy to admire the views, as well as taking a closer look at the other railway traffic on the route.

There’s also the BR 442 Talent 2, which takes things a little slower than the ICE, and I found myself preferring scenarios with this train as there were more stations to stop at and keep me engaged. Outside of the passenger routes, the revamped Sand Patch Grade offers players some freight action. While this was the first route released for PC in TSW, it’s only now that console players are able to experience one of the steepest railroads in America. The new adhesion physics mean you have to keep a close eye on your speed, especially in wet or snowy conditions to avoid excessive wheel-slip. With this route, you have a choice of three locomotives to operate as well as plenty of wagons to shunt around Cumberland Yard. For me, the highlight is still unleashing my inner child and operating the railway turntable! The trains and locomotives themselves have great amounts of detail, with plenty of switches to flick, dials to check, and computer screens to look through. While that might sound overwhelming, the tutorials and scenarios do a good job of teaching you which buttons to press to turn on the train and get yourself moving.Escape Dungeon

From there, it’s pretty easy to control the train’s throttle and brakes, although it’s still down to you to manage your speed and stop in the right place on the platforms. If you want to use the more advanced features of each train, such as the automatic signalling and safety systems (SIFA, PZB or LZB in the German trains), or perhaps some of the cruise control systems, you’ll probably need to refer to the real world manuals found online, as none of the scenarios or tutorials currently take you those features. When you do get going, the overhauled HUD reduces clutter, while still providing you with important information like your train’s speed, the speed limit, as well as the status of the signal ahead. If you want to crank up the realism, you’re free to turn off this information, but you’d better hope your route knowledge is up to scratch! Other than the new routes, TSW2 also adds the Scenario Planner, which gives you the ability to create your own scenarios with whatever routes, trains and destinations you wish. Unfortunately, you can’t share or use other player’s scenarios, but Steam Workshop and console support would be a welcome addition in future.

An ‘Off The Rails’ mode lets you step outside the realms of what is physically possible, such as running electric trains on a diesel route. This long-awaited feature will increase replayability, and is easy enough for anyone to use. Speaking of easy to use, the new Livery Designer allows you to unleash your creativity, and then bring those designs to life on your routes in the game. Using various shapes and layers, you can create some quite complex designs for the locomotives, coaches and even freight wagons. I’ve already seen some people come up with some really stunning designs, while mine have looked decidedly garish! Anybody remember Thomas the Tank Engine? That show was awesome! I don’t know why I found stop-motion model trains so entertaining, but to this day, I’d still go back and watch that show without hesitation. It solidified my love for the rail-bound machines at a young age. Combine that with my love of simulators and you have yourself the textbook example of a guy that will sit down for hours playing with virtual trains. Train Sim World 2 has a pretty neat take on the concept, offering a more in-depth and immersive set of gameplay mechanics than the typical sim experience.

For those reasons, it should be commended. The heart of the experience is, of course, controlling each locomotive. The level of complexity is particularly interesting. It’s not overwhelming but neither is it as simple as pressing a few on-screen buttons in a 2D menu. Almost every button, lever, switch and handle inside the train do something. Whether it’s controlling the brakes, throttle, electrical systems—if you want to manipulate your train in a way that a real engineer would, Train Sim World 2 gives you the option to do that. Alternatively, you can simply stick to pressing a few buttons on your keyboard/controller and still have a grand old time watching the scenery pass you by. Just don’t be like me and shift your glance down to your phone for more than a few moments. It’s surprising just how much ground a train can over in only a few seconds. Next thing you know, you’re having to wait three minutes for it to come to a complete stop before you can shamefully reverse it back to the station platform that you carelessly whizzed past. Thomas didn’t prepare me for that! But, what really makes Train Sim World 2 a different experience than any of the other railroad sims that I’ve played is its high level of interaction with not only the trains but also the world around them.

You’re not confined to the cockpit of your locomotive; at any time you feel like, you can simply hop out of the driver’s seat and walk completely around the train and the environment. There are even little tasks at most of the station to complete on-foot, such as pasting route maps and replenishing first aid kits. You’ll also occasionally hop out to complete operations like uncoupling a set of cars, refuel the train and change signals. This wasn’t a hugely necessary mechanic to have, but it’s a good change of pace versus the usual affair of only driving the trains. Alas, train driving is still the core of the experience after all. Out of the box, Train Sim World 2 includes three different lines to play through. Each of these is in different countries: the Schnellfahrstrecke Köln line in Germany, the London Underground in Great Britain, and the Sand Patch Grade in the United States. Not only do they all look different, but each line also has its own unique playstyle, which does add to the game’s overall variety. Train Sim World 2’s Schnellfahrstrecke Köln in Germany puts you in control of two different types of high-speed passenger locomotives, including the DB BR 406 ICE 3M. This particular loco has been available in several other train sims of the past, but the level of detail here is really impressive.F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch PS5
