Our Site Score

79/100

Train Simulator PRO 2018 is an impressively detailed simulation that will satisfy any rail enthusiast. It moves away from arcade-style controls to offer a more authentic engineering experience. You're responsible for everything from monitoring speed limits and signals to managing the air brakes—a mechanic that can actually damage your train if used recklessly.

The scope is massive, featuring nearly 1,000 square miles of terrain across the Eastern US. The interiors of the locomotives are the star of the show; they are fully interactive with working levers and gauges. Admiring the countryside as you pull a massive freight train through a dynamic day/night cycle is genuinely relaxing. It’s a slow-paced, methodical game that rewards patience and precision. If you've ever wanted to run your own railway company, this is the most realistic place to start on mobile.

Dinsun Review

Simulation is a tough genre to get right on mobile. Train Simulator PRO 2018 tries hard, but it’s a mixed bag. I appreciate the attention to detail in the cab controls, but the world outside the window looks like it’s from 2010. It’s slow—which, fair enough, it's a train—but it lacks the 'zen' factor of a truly great sim. It feels more like a chore than a hobby. If you’re a railfan, you’ll find something to like, but for the average person, it’s just watching virtual grass grow at 40mph.
