Train Life: A Railway Simulator

While pure simulation fans who are into trains should be happy, the play is definitely limited in excitement and real variety

Train Life: A Railway Simulator is a welcome addition to the Nintendo Switch library and a great alternative to mainstream railway sims that Switch players cannot access without a PC. This is definitely a fun game for those looking to get into the genre, but it is also good for those with a lot of experience. It’s also kind of addictive to transport mail and passengers to and fro.

Train Life: A Railway Simulator is an interesting train simulator, though it’s marred by a few shortcomings, such as a dull open world and terrible technical performance. Fortunately, these two issues are somewhat redeemed by the entertaining gameplay, which can truly keep you entertained for hours on end. If you’re a fan of SCS Software games and want to handle a few jobs in a slightly different way, or if you just love trains, I can recommend Train Life: A Railway Simulator despite its flaws. However, if you’re looking for a game where you can admire the scenery while driving, steer clear of this title. On behalf of us at Gaming Professors, I’m giving the game six and a half out of ten.

With Train Life: A Railway Simulator, sim railroad enthusiasts have another way to get their railroad fix. With its emphasis equally on the driving and economic aspects of running a railroad, Train Life: A Railway Simulator has a little more depth than those games that focus more on the locomotives and rolling stock. It’s also a Eurocentric sim, so American gamers wanting to drive a speeding Amtrak train over the Rockies are out of luck. Train Life: A Railway Simulator might be built for a specific audience, but general sim enthusiasts might give it try as well.

I must say that I enjoyed my time playing Train Life – A Railway Simulator. Despite the initial simplicity of what I was required to do, I still managed to pick the wrong tracks and slam into buffers countless times causing no end of problems for myself. If you fancy playing a sim game that is chilled at times but can be a little more practical than the usual run-of-the-mill management games, then I would say this is for you.
