If you look at the steam reviews for train simulator, you will find:
Negative:
70% of the people complaining about DLC;
30% of the people complaining about gameplay and errors;
Positive:
50% of the people denying all what is said above;
50% of the people that got train simulator for and kinda enjoy it.
Fact is, this game isn't for anyone. If you are a person that thinks trains are kinda fun and make funny sounds, this game is just a bit to complicated. You are not forced to buy the DLC. The game is "playable" without it, yes, the DLC is a bit overpriced, but once again, if you think it's ridicously expensive just don't buy it.
My conclusion: If you are a train fanatic, do buy this game. If you are looking for a neat little game that involves trains that go choo choo, don't buy train simulator. I spent many hours in this game and I still love it. So either buy the game or just leave and never come back.

No nonsense simulator. No walking, just driving. Turn off the scoring in preferences, and drive with only the F5 HUD, relying on your route knowledge.
If you drive this way, you'll be too busy to notice that the scenery, rolling stock, lighting and weather are not the latest and greatest in realism. But they are more than good enough to create the atmosphere of driving a train, and that's all you need.
What you don't need is the latest and greatest games PC or laptop. A medium performance machine will do nicely at 1920 x 1080.

It's an addiction that through sheer lack of quality has forced me to spend countless amounts on enhancement packs and 3rd party add-ons. The game itself is basically the same as it was on release in what I can only assume was mid 1880, the frame rate remains a stable 15fps. The redeeming factor is that as it is so old, there are a plethora of different routes (of differing quality), and it feels ironically more immersive to me than TSW3, and the limited routes and rolling stock over there.
Train simulator sees your RTX3080, 11th gen i7 and 32gb ram, and chuckles. it does not care how good your PC is, it WILL run like trash, and you will like it.
Overall, alright as long as you're willing to throw money at all 3rd party developers, (looking at you Armstrong and the madmen who dedicate time to creating add-ons for a virtual train game) its okay. otherwise, please just get train sim world, it actually has a graphics engine.

Train Simulator Classic is still a greater experience than the TSW newer platform. The community is more active and able to work with the contents of the game. Allot of FREE upgrades will make the routes look much better than the TSW. The huge difference thought is the amount of payware and freeware of rolling stock on the routes. At the end of the day.. we are all here to see virtual Locos and Wagons of different types passing next as we drive.
