Not worth it
While I appreciated the idea (Euro Truck Simulator on Rails) this game has still major bugs and gameplay flaws that makes it less playable. The developers don't intend to fix it (last update on Steam was Sept. 2022)

Train Simulator With A Purpose
The Good: Innovative idea to have the player be a Freelance Entrepreneur and a Driver at the same time. You make your own deals, hire drivers, upgrade locomotives, promote cities so they have more goods to transfer (or people & mail, two modes of play, switchable between runs). Switches are flipped from cabin, no need for map for that, but check the map to take the bypass to a factory or city, when needed. Most switches are X crosses and plenty of them, you will not miss your turn even with adverse effects on. Plenty of realism, great graphics & beautiful scenery of Europe. Got me hooked, but I am already an experienced train driver from the grey pigeonholed games. You have to make several bad mistakes to derail or crash, this game is VERY forgiving. (but you do get fines) My first ~6hrs. of play I drove ~3,000km & earned ~550,000eur, with which I bought 2 locomotives, hired one driver & upgraded the startup locomotive in expectation for another driver or backup. The Bad: Adverse effects are trains coming up on your line or locomotives stuck on the way. Problem being, you will get emergency alerts, sudden red lights you can't stop before them (but only get a fine, you can correct and backup), only to find out the train was going on the line next to you or veering off on a split line. This is not always the case though & many times you do have to stop to sort it out, when both trains are stopped at the same cross, just choose the free line and you'll be told to proceed. Emergency brakes are the main reason your locomotive wears out in damages, but overall, you should make it to destination, because every station in between has a repair shop. The Ugly: More of an Arcade drive but enjoyable, what was cut out is the Shunting & Consist Sorting. Which some people like, some may not, but you can still pickup multiple Contracts from the same station, you'll have to sort them according to YOUR preset delivery schedule. So it still requires a logistic mind sooner or later.

Finally a comfortable train simulator
I've been trying multiple train simulators. I just wanted to have fund driving a train. But complexity of running the train, and poor graphics and 3D models often just made me resign after a few moments. With Train Life finally it's just so easy to drive the train. And you can switch engines. And you can upgrade them. And you can have your own employees. And you can develop cities by transporting goods. I really like the game! On the cons side, sometimes seeing the speed limit is difficult, due to the fact that it's blurry until it's very close, and then there's so much information to read that the train passes the sign before I manage to remember everything. And the HUD tends to lie about the incoming speed limits. And then it's too late, and the train either derails, or a fine is paid. But all in all, I love the game and I've been playing 3rd day in a row every free moment. Thanks for the game!

ETS2: Railway Edition
I don't understand the critical comments. This game is Euro Truck Simulator on rails – a successful implementation of a good idea. It's not exciting, but it wasn't supposed to be – it's a different kind of game! To tell the truth, thanks to the different driving physics, in my opinion it's even better (gameplay-wise) than ETS2. I haven't encountered any bugs. It works perfectly with Linux/Proton.

Eurotrain Simulator
Basically it's the Train Sim World I wanted. A little arcade. Has a unified signalling system and rail gauge and so forth - it's not a hardcore sim. But it is a joyous train conducting experience for the most part. Wish there was little more content but I heard the dev abandoned the game which is a shame.
