What players say

Players are split on Rail Route. Many praise its addictive train dispatching loop and community workshop support, but a roughly equal number are turned away by a poorly designed tutorial that bombards with cues or suddenly goes hands-off. Some note the simulation is basic without DLC, lacking breakdowns or track speed customization, and performance suffers on larger maps.
