Free on Steam: TGV Voyages Train Simulator

I'm guessing the biggest feature here is "free," but I know some of you
will be interested.

Reviews seem to complain about easy derailment a lot, so YMMV.

One guy complained about getting 40-50 fps @2k as too low for watching a
train. LOL

There are also free DLCs:

Yes, the misspellings in the links are correct.

Yes, the misspellings in the links are correct.

Note: I had difficulties adding this with the steampowered links, but it
added in the client just fine. May be a transient issue.

Note to note: The DLCs are for the full game. The freebie is a
teaser/magnet.

On the one hand, it's a train-simualtor and I've never found a game in
that genre that hasn't disappointed me.

On the other hand, it's free.

What to do, what to do...?

There are also free DLCs:

These seem to be DLC for Train Simulator Classic, and not TGV voyages. Fortunately, I have Train Simulator.
Unfortunately, I already have the free DLC.
(in fact, I seem to have accumulated ///52/// DLC for this stupid
game. I have no idea how. I guess they're frequently given away as
freebies?)

I had trouble too with the links.

Thanks for posting about this one. I always wanted to try one of these
Train Simulator games. The reviews are not the best but since I never
played one of these games before, I have nothing better to compare it
to.
