Awful unfinished mess.

This game is unfinished, to put it simply. They haven't finished making it, so why it's up for sale with that INSANE price tag is anyone's guess.
It lags, hard. I have got a pretty good gaming PC, 3080ti, 13900kf, 32gb DDR4 etc etc, i should have no issue running this game, but it stutters, lags and sometimes just stops all together. Every other game in my library works absolutely fine on max settings but this doesn't.

Driver assist, an annoying popup which repeatedly tells you do something (like raise pantograph and close circuit breaker) when you've already done those things AND ARE CURRENTLY DRIVING, this is the sort of thing that gets picked up when you actually TEST your game prior to release.

Sandbox mode, a joke, it's not sandbox at all, the moment you pass a signal at danger it ends the scenario, which we were told would not happen as it's supposed to be a free roam scenario with no restrictions so you can just drive around an explore. Lies.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME, or if you're lucky and have less than 2 hours playtime get your steam refund immediately.

I seriously regret buying this unfinished, laggy SCAM of a game.

I will no longer purchase any Dovetail products, and I mean ever, this is the final straw.

Edit: 18/11/2023
No fixes have been made to the bugs listed above. Trains and locomotives now derail on sandbox mode when you try to couple up.
Somehow they've made it worse.
Dovetail Games are a joke.
