Train Simulator 2022 – I Think I Can, I Think I Can So, take the only guaranteed seat on the train and enjoy my Train Simulator 2022 review. I’ve been looking forward to reviewing this game to experience the ins and outs of train driving. I’m a newcomer to the train simulator genre, and my rail experiences have been limited to early morning, crowded standing room only journeys into work.

Even considering its great visual design on top of that, the rest of the experience is a letdown that is hard to recommend.Train Simulator 2022 from Dovetail Games is the latest release of a series that can trace its roots back to 2009. The game is at its best when you are thrust into a city filled with infected, with combat that is fun and holds your attention. However, between the ending putting great importance on a narrative that had mostly been absent throughout my playthrough and the repetitive train sections which are filler at best, it is extremely hard to recommend this title. I won't say this game is bad, not by any stretch of the imagination. It managed to keep me engaged for the somewhat meager three hours it took me to finish it, and with ending that just doesn't satisfy due to the lackluster storytelling, I was left wanting. It is interesting, it is engaging and it keeps you interested and, most importantly, its fun. Together, all of these elements just work. There is also localized damage for the infected, which means head shots are super important and will generally kill in a single shot. You can either punch rapidly or charge up a punch which kills run-of-the-mill infected in a single hit, but it has a cooldown which can be very long if you are being chased by a horde. The combat can be either melee or ranged, with melee being preferred most of the time as ammo is extremely limited. It's generally as far away from the train as possible, with many enemies and survivors standing in your way, as well as a bit of bonus area to explore if you are so inclined.

The basic task of every train stop is to find the blocker code that disables the magnetic lock that is preventing your train from departing. Your time is split between searching buildings, emptying lockers, killing infected and rescuing survivors. The other part of the game is the survival horror sections, filled with zombie infected shooting and ammo management. When you jump out of the train is where the game actually becomes engaging. The whole section is just horribly tedious and repetitive in the end, adding next to nothing to the game.

During this time you can also do some basic crafting, either ammo or medkits, as well as get small story snippets from other train drivers on the network. You spend the first ten seconds going to all the systems to see which one is going to need management this particular ride, as it's only ever one system, and then you click a button or pull a lever until a tick appears. The train management is uninteresting at best. The other thing you get from them is the (very) occasional story snippet, but that's only useful if you aren't managing the train at the time they say it, or some massive foreground element doesn't get in the way of the text box. There isn't any real punishment for letting the passengers die, but they give you rewards if you get them successfully to their destination, generally in the form of money which can be used to buy more food, medkits (which is very counterproductive), or ammo and gun power-ups. This doesn't seem like a lot of time until you see someone die in between seeing their health dip a bit too close to death and them dying as you are about to heal them. Seems simple, but it takes you ten seconds to check on a passenger, procure the required supplies and take it back to them. The passenger management is easy enough, they have a health and hunger bar and you need to keep them both in good standing. When the train is moving you need to manage two different things, your passengers, and your train.
