3D train simulator game

Trainz Railroad Simulator 22 is a premium simulation game for Mac from N3V Games Pty Ltd. It's a long-running train simulator series that lets players experience laying down railroad tracks, as well as operating the trains that run through them. It boasts various trains based on actual real-life models to choose from.

Similar to other games like Railgrade, Trainz Railroad Simulator 22 features an extensive in-game editor that lets players create train routes to all kinds of destinations across the globe. Some of the locations they can expect to visit include the U.S., U.K., and Australia, to name a few.

Immersive train sim

Trainz is a long-running train simulator series that has been around since 2001. It's one of those games that was known to offer, compared to its contemporaries, a more realistic gameplay experience that focused on the train operating and driving, as well as letting players lay down tracks and design their own routes to take. It had many iterations and names through the years, and its latest release today is known as Trainz Railroad Simulator 22, or simply Trainz 22.

One of its highlights is the amount of content available. There are over 1,000 trains to operate, ranging from passenger cars to freight haulers, and even classic locomotives. Then, there are five main routes that span multiple countries and time periods from the rocky mountains of Canada to the coal country, United States, and more. You can expand them further with community-made routes online.

Two ways to play

Now, as for the gameplay, Trainz 22 was designed so that you experience it in one of two ways, with the first being the Driver Module, which basically puts you in control of the trains themselves. You can employ a basic Digital Command Control or DCC System for simple stop-and-go operations. Alternatively, you can use the CAB System to add cab control for a more immersive and realistic experience.

The second mode is called Surveyor and you can treat it like the in-game editor that lets you build an entire route from scratch. Through it, you get to lay down railroad tracks, place buildings, and basically shape the landscape as you like. The newly added Multiplayer Surveyor makes the experience even better and more enjoyable given the focus on social gameplay.

Trainz 22 is known for its extensive catalog of downloadable content, and the Content Store has been given an update to give the interface some needed improvement in usability. Unfortunately, plenty of players are having difficulty launching the game at all. Also, the same download system is quite cumbersome and makes it complicated to add community-driven content.

Rough around the edges

All in all, Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022 brings much-needed improvements that make the whole experience better, from the ever-expanding content catalog to adding multiplayer gameplay to surveyor mode, there is a lot to like about this latest entry to the series. However, there are still plenty of issues to be addressed and hopefully, they get fixed as soon as possible.
