Derail Valley

Derail Valley ist für mich eine echte Perle unter den Zugsimulationen. Wer Rangieren, Güterverkehr und klassische Lokomotiven liebt, kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten. Trotz seines Alters sieht das Spiel in 4K auf Ultra-Einstellungen grafisch sehr ansprechend aus und läuft auf meinem System absolut flüssig, ohne Ruckler. Besonders gefällt mir, dass es eben nicht nur darum geht, einen Zug von A nach B zu fahren. Man muss sich orientieren, Bahnhöfe kennenlernen, Aufträge planen und wirtschaftlich denken. Dadurch fühlt sich jede Fahrt sinnvoll an und das Spiel bietet deutlich mehr Tiefe als viele andere Zugsimulatoren. Ein weiterer großer Pluspunkt ist die Streckengestaltung. Die Strecken sind abwechslungsreich und anspruchsvoll, mit unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeitsbereichen, engen Kurven, Gefällestrecken und anderen kritischen Abschnitten. Gerade am Anfang sollte man neue Strecken vorsichtig befahren und erst kennenlernen. Wer einfach nur Vollgas gibt, wird schnell merken, dass der Zugbetrieb hier deutlich realistischer umgesetzt ist als in vielen anderen Spielen. Die Auftragsverwaltung über die Career-Manager-Automaten ist durchdacht und leicht verständlich. Die Steuerung wirkt anfangs komplex, geht nach kurzer Eingewöhnung aber sehr gut von der Hand. Ob direkt im Führerstand, über das HUD oder aus der Außenansicht – jeder findet seine bevorzugte Spielweise. Besonders gelungen finde ich auch die Möglichkeit, die Kamera auf einzelne Waggons zu setzen. Der frei einstellbare Schwierigkeitsgrad sorgt dafür, dass sowohl Einsteiger als auch erfahrene Spieler auf ihre Kosten kommen. Für mich ist Derail Valley im Bereich Rangieren und Güterverkehr dem Train Sim World deutlich überlegen. Hier hat man wirklich das Gefühl, Lokführer zu sein und nicht nur einem vorgegebenen Ablauf zu folgen. Fazit: Ein unglaublich motivierender, umfangreicher und durchdachter Zugsimulator mit viel Spieltiefe. Jeder Cent ist gut investiert. Klare Kaufempfehlung – für mich eine der besten Eisenbahnsimulationen überhaupt. English Derail Valley is a true hidden gem among train simulators. If you enjoy shunting, freight operations, and classic locomotives, this game is absolutely worth your time. Despite its age, the game still looks very appealing in 4K on Ultra settings and runs smoothly on my system without any stuttering. What I really like is that it's not just about driving a train from A to B. You have to learn the railway network, plan your jobs, manage your finances, and think ahead. That gives every job a real sense of purpose and makes the gameplay much deeper than many other train simulators. Another major strength is the track design. The routes are varied and challenging, featuring changing speed limits, tight curves, steep grades, and other demanding sections. When exploring a route for the first time, it's wise to drive carefully and learn its characteristics. If you simply run at full speed everywhere, you'll quickly discover that train handling here is much more realistic than in many other simulators. The Career Manager system is well designed and easy to understand. The controls may seem complex at first, but after a short learning period they become intuitive. Whether you prefer driving from the cab, using the HUD, or controlling the train from external views, the game offers plenty of flexibility. I especially enjoy the ability to switch the camera to individual freight cars. The adjustable difficulty settings make the game enjoyable for both beginners and experienced players. In my opinion, Derail Valley is far superior to Train Sim World when it comes to shunting and freight operations. It truly makes you feel like a locomotive engineer instead of simply following a scripted route. Final verdict: A deep, rewarding, and highly enjoyable train simulator with excellent gameplay depth. Every cent is well spent. A clear recommendation – one of the very best railway simulators I have ever played.

Best train sim out here, the graphic are very nice, the sound is amazing, the difficulty is over the top especally with steam loco, i want to buy a vr headset just for this game 😅 yes the update are slower but they are worth all the wait can't wait for the B100!😁

реальность в игре, правда добавить дополнения в игру не получаеться

Feedback after 15 hours from a newcomer to train games I’ve played for around 15 active hours. I’ve never played a train game before, so this feedback comes from a completely new player’s perspective. I’m also a UI/UX developer. The map feels too small After only 10–15 hours, I already feel like I’ve explored most of the map. Constantly revisiting the same locations and routes quickly becomes repetitive. The map should ideally be around four times larger, with more stations, industries, landmarks, hidden locations, and route variety. The world needs to offer a stronger sense of discovery and make longer journeys feel meaningful. The interaction system needs improvement Managing orders, licences, and payments feels unnecessarily awkward. The pocket-payment mechanic is especially confusing. If I’m already holding my pocket, why can’t I interact with the payment terminal directly? The system adds extra actions without adding meaningful gameplay. The order UI requires too much navigation Important information is spread across too many pages. Players constantly have to switch back and forth to check order details. Most relevant information and actions could be consolidated into one or two well-designed screens, including: Route and destination Cargo information Train and wagon requirements Estimated payment and expenses Licence requirements Order acceptance and completion There is almost no meaningful progression The game needs a stronger long-term progression system. Even a simple level and perk system would make completing orders more rewarding. Possible rewards could include: 10% better licence or service discounts 10% higher profits 10% lower fuel consumption Faster or cheaper repairs Access to special contracts Cosmetic rewards for major achievements For example, completing 1,001 orders with one locomotive could unlock a special gold skin for it. Rewards like this would give players something memorable to work towards. The repair system should be more detailed Repairing and maintaining locomotives could be a much deeper and more interesting part of the game. Instead of simply paying for a general repair, the game could include individual components and different types of damage: Engine and transmission wear Brake condition Wheel and suspension damage Electrical problems Cooling-system failures Body and cosmetic damage Preventive maintenance and component replacement Driving style, overloading, overheating, collisions, and skipped maintenance could affect different components. Players could then inspect the locomotive, diagnose problems, replace parts, or choose between quick temporary fixes and full repairs. Final thoughts The core concept is enjoyable, especially for someone completely new to train games. However, a larger world, smoother interactions, better UI structure, deeper repairs, and meaningful progression would significantly improve the experience and give players more reasons to continue playing after the first 10–15 hours.

This game used to work. Now there are a crap ton of bugs that constantly cause the game to crash. Some people have luck messing with really advanced settings, but others don't. The unity bug seems to have no fix in sight anytime soon. There are page4s and pages of complaints on the community hub, yet crickets from the company that made this game. Can't recommend it in this state. maybe there will be a fix in another 2 years. who knows.
