How to read this

The value story

The lowest price on record is $3.99, set in July 2024. 18 discounts in the 4 years on record. They run about 50 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

Value puts it in the top 37 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 74 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Train Sim World® 2 ($19.99, scores 60) and Train Sim World® 5 ($39.99, scores 36) both outscore it.

This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 48 percent of the 277 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.
