I haven't played this game for too long but I have been playing it rather regularly now.

TramSim is finally giving me the chance to enjoy driving on an actual tram network! Sure, there has been other simulators with Trams before, but TramSim so far has been the best at capturing the essence of driving in a tram network.

At first, I was slightly discouraged to get it just because there's 1 line and back then there was only 1 tram. I have waited patiently and followed the updates and upgrades that the devs has been making. You can clearly see that the devs are dedicated to what they're doing, and honestly they're doing a really great job so far.

I bought the game just before the release of the free and brand new E2 tram. Free tram? Yes, free! And you'd expect - yeah, free but what about the quality of it in general? Actually, it is fantastic and easily kinda is my favourite tram over the Flexity ( although I do like both ).

Speaking of the trams: Both trams are fantastic. Like, the physics of driving feels great, the sounds are absolutely spot on, there's lots of features that you can use, the models look really good. Simply, a masterpiece.

Graphic-wise it is really good. The game looks great during day time as it looks during night time. There's maybe few things that could be fixed or tweaked to improve the overall FPS but I'm sure the devs are always looking at everything possible to improve.

There's many options you can play around with, for instance you can also simulate a "covid-19" pandemic mode in which the passengers will be wearing masks. You can also make a nice Winter and Christmas feeling. I think many people know that Vienna is very well known for their Christmas Markets. This is definitely a nice addition to the game!

The line available: The city of Vienna is so well represented. The landmarks are there, the streets look really accurate to the real thing ( seen a couple of google maps comparisons ).

You can also play the "tram challenges" and let me tell you - they are challenging! But that makes it really fun to try and win the "TramSim Points". I think it is a very nice thing to include in the game.

What I really like among all this is to see how the devs are open for feedback and are always active with the community, always looking for bug reports and fixing the problems ASAP. This is very appreciated. Good quality content is better than quantity. :)

Do I recommend TramSim at this stage? Definitely! And I will be looking forward to see what's coming up next as well!

My message to the devs - always keep this quality bar that you've set with your future DLC and you'll be fine! Good job!
