How on earth did I miss this by a month? Source: live.dovetailgames.com/live/train-sim-world/about-trainsimworldDovetail Games plans to put the Bakerloo line in the first version of Train Sim World 2, which Steam says will come out on 6 August 2020. However, I have played the original Train Sim World, more specifically the GWR addon, and I feel that an open-world platform … something beyond just scenarios … would keep me addicted. I remember that Trainz would not kick you off of the map when a train crashed in Free Mode, unlike Dovetail Games’ Train Simulator, but on the flip side, Trainz’s collision physics is nowhere near Train Simulator. I know about realism, but sometimes there is the urge to just play around … you know … stress relief or something. The graphics look promising, but I have to wait until the reviewers give their verdicts. All games are rated PEGI 3+.

I've just downloaded it, and it's a definite thumbs-up from me; the attention to detail is incredible - a definite improvement on the unrelated C Stock Simulator from a few years ago. You can pick from a number of scenarios and timetabled runs, or just board a train at a station of your choosing, have a seat with the passengers, or wander around, and if you feel as if you could do a better job in the driving seat, into the cab you go!
I like that trains are able to terminate and then return to service with the other cab being opened up (including when an A.I. T/Op is running the show), the destination blind has to be physically wound, and you can stop doing this at any point. Also, a nice touch is that the car numbers are random - the unit numbers stay together, of course, but it's the luck of the draw as to the train that will turn up.
Of course, there are a few differences between the simulation, and reality - a lot of the virtual cab switches can be operated, but few do anything. Also, any passenger door can be opened or closed individually. The passenger boarding / alighting animation is a bit clunky (I've witnessed passengers boarding, walking through the opposite set of (closed) doors, and carrying on!), but that's only a minor issue with how well rendered everything else is. It's worth a look, anyway!

I have played it however the gameplay is ok. I have it on ps4 and pc which are both high end however the issue is that sometimes it crashes which was a problem on train sim world 1. In all honesty however I dont really think for performance tsw2 is that good
