⚡ NEW: Id/anshackles/recommended/ - Uncensored 2025

Well here's a thing, TSW finally achieves a standard where I can say that I recommend it to other players! And so it should you might think, seeing as they've now sold it to us THREE times.

In TSW3 I've seen a couple of random crashes but to be fair they might've been caused by RAM faults on my system, which is hardly DTG's fault. In general the game works well. There is still work for DTG to do in improving the UI and fixing some very annoying issues in a few places where you get stuck at a never-changing signal, for example. These have been needed since TSW original and we're still waiting: There's also STILL no autosave option, and not even a quicksave key (which I recall there was in the Train Simulator series): to do that you have to program your own with a keyboard macro [ ESC-S-ESC-ESC is the key sequence. I think I may have slight delays in there]

Plus points: The graphics quality continues to be excellent and is now well enough optimised that it runs acceptably even on my outdated PC. My hardware prevents very high framerates, but I no longer see drops to single-digits like I did on TSW original. TSW2 was a bit better but still left much to be desired.

As with the original TSW it can be as immersive as you feel like being: climb down from the cab to uncouple vehicles, turn off all the assistance and HUD, or leave the HUD and aids on and use the free camera to do jobs outside the train without getting your butt off the driver's seat.

As a bonus if you owned TSW2 DLCs on the Steam platform you can re-download them for TSW3 and they still work. Be aware though, if you got it on Epic, tough luck, you have to buy them again.

So there you have it. TSW3 is finally a decent enough train driving simulator, if you're into such things you should like it. I would still, myself, wait for a sale especially for DLCs, the price adds up fast if you pay full rate.
