I Played The Worst Train Games On Steam...

I've played some of the best games on steam and some of the worst games on steam.Many developers have the ambition and good intentions to make something enjoyable but a lot just aren't there yet or simply lack the experience to it all together.

In my hunt for hidden gems I've found many devs portfolio that blow my mind and in this case, not for positive reasons! These train simulators had some potential, maybe not in the beginning but towards the end. A travel simulation isn't a bad concept but this dev portfolio proves that a good idea is only as good as the person behind it.

I'm WickedWiz from the What Went Wrong series coming at you with some of the most cursed indie games on Steam. This new series is for games that are so bad, that they're actually good. Worst Game On Steam, is a question that hopefully turns out to be false each time. These are games that won't fit the longer form What Went Wrong videos.

I presume you can't die in game because your character is already dead and riding the trains around the 8th circle of hell (the one for fraud).

Fun fact: you can refund items on steam past the 2 hour mark if one of the following is true:
1. The game literally runs so poorly that after 2 hours of trying to fix it, you gave up.
2. The game has a proven track record of being dog shit (AKA has a large amount of refunds in Steams records)
3. The game does not accurately depict the expectations of game play. (IE. forcing you to play the game for 2 hours without being able to save or even do anything promised in the videos)
4. The game does not properly or accurately list computer spec requirements. (not applicable here but still)
and a few other things....

so technically you can actually get a refund for a steam game up to 4 hours into gameplay if the game LITERALLY does not do as advertised. For the future of gamers spending their money to show us shit games....

These games just feel like someone is making updates to a game that already exists and is selling each update as it's own game.

As a Russian, I can guarantee you that the models of bus passengers in "Trans-Siberian Legends" were ripped straight out of GTA San Andreas MultiPlayer mod called "Criminal Russia", which added a new map, lots of cars and those models. It was quite popular before GTA5 RP servers came around

The seesaw in that game actually works because it's just a widely used asset that already had it working to begin with. I've seen that same exact asset neighborhood in a ton of indie horror games, equipped with the same meme monkeys.

9:35 As a Chinese I can tell you the posters and signs on that "Chinese street" were just full of slurs

The fact that they used Fifa of all things... This Dev must be trolling hard af

Train Travel Simulator - german edition would be a very small game: just a train station where you wait for hours and days for your delayed train. And then you die.

[MazeFrame]

Makes me want to make a horror game called "Trainrider Germany", where it is just you trying to get to your destination in regular Germany.

[LucyKosaki]

It feels like the dev is slowly learning and improving, but every 5 new assets he finds and 1 new feature he learned, he releases it as a new game xD

5:41 It's a seesaw It's called a

As a native Russian speaker I can say a fragment around 24:00, when they are in a car, is hilarious. Very natural Russian swearing. I don't know, while I wouldn't call these good games, I would find them kinda funny for their relatability.

"All the towns are the same, the same roads, the same, rearranged buildings"

Welcome to Russia/Eastern Europe. It's not a bug, it's a realistic feature.

17:40 Vintage (basically up until the soviet collapse) russian films are actually copyright free. You can catch pretty much all of them including Tarkovsky's for free on the official Mosfilm channel. So yes, the movie on that television is most certainly there in full.

[oxymoron]

That map in Train Trip 2 is a Unity store asset, you won't be surprised to learn. Seen it in a few horror games.

0:35 that censor bar was struggling to keep up like the Olympic censors of Iran.

[RhondaFizzleflint]

Now imagine the whole mess as "Train Travel - Deutsche Bahn" where you have to wait 15min in real time and afterwards another 45mins because the train is late of course and after waiting long enough it gets cancelled.

Randomly teleported to the hospital after drinking an NPCs beer only to be greeted by convulsing, screaming people that everyone else ignores. I couldn't stop laughing, 10/10, best in game shitpost I've ever seen.

FYI during soviet era most cities actually had the same layout, this is so much so that it is the story of a movie where a guy gets shitfaced and travels from Moscow to Leningrad by plane due to mixup with his friends, tells the taxi outside the airport to take him to his address (which is the same in Leningrad) and his key opens the door to the apartment, which is in a identical building(just in Leningrad) and from there is spoilers.
Movie is called "the irony of fate or enjoy your bath" lookit up
