Japanese Rail Sim: Hakone Town of Natural Beauty and Hot Springs

え？・・・なんで？・・・ 「振動」無くなってるんだけど( ﾟДﾟ) あり得ないでしょ・・・ 前作「神ゲー」だったのに・・・どうしちゃったん？ んー、振動の違いだけなのかよくわからんけど、 肝心の操作が、なんか 全然楽しくない。 なんだろう、なぜだろう、前作はめちゃ楽しくてワクワクして遊べたんだけど、 なんかまじで 操作感が全然違うというか なんま面白くない。やっぱ振動のせいなのかなぁ

实景，休闲，箱根旅游攻略。

I love the Japanese Rail Sim Games very much, so this part is no exception. Hakone, along with Kyoto, is my favorite part of the series so far because the settings are incomparably beautiful. Hopefully we'll get many more games in this series on Steam.

電車でGO!!やTrain Sim Worldなどと比べれば確かに技術は劣ります。しかし、なにより数少ない日本の路線を収録したゲームです。その価値を入れれば十分に購入に値するゲームだと思います。JRETSは音楽館というプロの会社が作っているので、そこと比べるとやはり負けてしまいますが、カジュアルに楽しみたいのであれば良いのではないでしょうか？ 他の作品もSteamで出していただければ買いたいなと思いました。ただ、6800円は高いので4500円程度であれば買うかなと言う感じではありますが（）

This is a good game of this particular full motion video train simulator style, and it's nice to see it fully translated to English. The slow speed and scenic views are unique compared to a lot of the more urban simulators. I would recommend snagging this on a sale because it is a single train line in two different seasons, so it's not a good content value at full asking price. Still, high prices are somewhat par for the course as far as Japanese train sims. As others have mentioned, the promotional videos of the cable car and boat ride are edited in ways that I find a little strange. While I like the "camera pointing forward" passenger view of those other transportation methods, I think a more traditional tourism documentary in addition to that static view would have been really nice, even if it was brief. I don't agree with the other reviewer(s) who surmise that this game wouldn't make sense with the Zuiki Mascon controller. Sure, the train type doesn't perfectly match up with it, but it would have worked just fine if you ask me, and it would be a lot more fun with it. I think they could have found a way to make it work. If you like this type of game, it really seems like the best way to go is to actually to import some of the Japanese physical release Nintendo Switch cartridges from Japan along with a Zuiki Mascon controller. (It's too bad the pro version of the controller isn't more widely available, but the regular Mascon is fun enough and the price is relatively low). Play-Asia is a good source but I'm sure there are others. Then, you can use the Zuiki Mascon with Running Train on Steam, which is developing nicely as a top option in the Japanese-style train sim genre and has incredible graphics. Just watch out for Linux caveats on using the Zuiki Mascon controller with that one...you'll need a workaround configuration and even then it's not perfect. Run it on your Windows partition for best results. Back to reviewing this game...it game works fine in Linux although sometimes it hangs on the "Now Loading" screen necessitating an ALT-F4, although this never seems to lose any progress. A few times I've had some flickering issue that was resolved by putting the game in windowed mode.

映像の解像度が荒すぎてプレイするに堪えられないレベル。映像もカクカクしておりひどすぎる。 下記のスペックでプレイしました。 AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D 12-Core Processor/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (16 GB)

登山電車ならではの運転テクニックを要求されたり、箱根の観光要素がある等、思っていたよりボリュームが有りました。 ただ、運転できる車両の組み合わせが固定されているのが残念です。
