Our Expert Score

72/100

Train Driver Journey 4 is a decent entry-level simulator for those curious about the golden age of rail. The focus on steam engines is a nice touch, offering a different mechanical feel compared to modern electric train sims. The controls are simplified enough for mobile but still require you to manage speed and braking effectively to hit your stops correctly.

While the graphics aren't groundbreaking, the environments are pleasant to drive through. It lacks the deep complexity of a PC-grade simulator, but for a casual experience on the go, it hits the right notes. It’s a relaxing way to spend a few minutes delivering cargo or passengers across the countryside.

Awesome game
Thu Jun 27 2019 billy bob joe jr 55

I think this game is awesome, except for a few things: when you start a session, and u have to leave the app or turn off device it does not save your progress, you have to start over, please fix. Second, I like steam engines, there are 5 different steam engines, not five different steam trains, but engines, 3 are blue comet, I only wish there were more steam engines to use. Last, but not least, I think there should be updates, and not every update has to have something added, just updates to let everybody know you are still working on the game. Other than those 3 things, the game is awesome.

My favorite!

My favorite type of train are steam train so I have been having a blast with this game. the only thing is though, I don’t like how you brought back the first map I wish you could have done sort of a old London type of theme. I didn’t like how for the tutorial level you had to have realistic mode on, but whatever. Lastly I like how in the big boy intro level that it just let you play around with it.

Works great - could use better interface

The game works great, but could use an option to enlarge the controls if one wants. They are tiny and a bit fiddley right now. It could also use an indicator as to what the upcoming grade and speed is going to be. A "real" engineer would know this, but it's impossible to tell what a hill is just from the camera perspective of the game. Even so, it's great fun.

Wonderful Train Sim
Sun May 14 2017 Bnsfup2791

Have had nothing but pleasure noodling around with all the Trainz apps over the previous year. No need to take the time or spend the money to build a model train. An empire far larger than I could ever dream is at my finger tips. Having a blast and have never regretted spending the $10 or so for several Trainz Driver and Trainz Driver Journeys.

Very good - problem with resuming drive sessions
Thu Mar 02 2017 Maj. SNAFU

These TD sessions are very well done, but sometimes you cannot save mid-way and if you have to close ipad/ go to another app and then come back into the same TD session, it is unresponsive. So you have to know you can complete the entire drive in one go - and there is no indication of how long this will take before you begin. Frustrating. But driving the trains themselves is great fun.

TRAINZ YOU BLOW ME AWAY

I've been a two year TRAINZ community member and I've always dreamed to drive the blue comet. Everything in this app works well. I just have a question in TRAINZ driver 2 I installed the blue comet package sciece it's only available for TRAINZ driver not TRAINZ sim but when I installed it it did not work so please fix that in TRAINZ driver 2 all those bugs where fixed in TRAINZ driver journey 4

Nice game - Poor Customer Support
Fri Jan 18 2019 Maxalfa5171

I purchased the bundle mainly for Trainz 2 and tried to join their website where I can purchase more content. They said I already had an account (surprise) but never sent me any password. I tried opening another account with a different email. No luck. Sent them several emails. No response. Funny, they send me ads, but I can’t buy anything, I don’t have an account.

Good game but I didn't need to buy it
Tue Mar 29 2016 PR&NJ RR

The only reason I bought this was because I wanted to get the blue comet, and I bought it and it did not work on trainz driver 2. Don't get me wrong, the blue comet is beautiful and I love it it's just that I would rather have it on driver 2 than have to buy another app to get one train. Again, u guys make awesome stuff, it's just that it needs a little bit of fixing. That's all.
