Review: There are things I love about ‘TramSim Munich’ and many more things that I hate. Starting with what I love, playing this in VR feels great, as you drive your tram around picking people up and avoiding all manner of things, you can easily find yourself getting into the game and wasting hours just driving around. But is that because I always wanted to be a train driver when I was growing up?

I say this because in truth this game doesn’t offer a lot at all. Sure, it’s a fun little tram job simulator, but the graphics are not exactly amazing and the psychics of the game are utter crap. In fact, sometimes the traffic and other trams make the game unplayable! They simply stop moving and no matter how long you wait they won’t move. But the lack of content, missions, or scenarios of any kind make the current asking price a bit of a joke. Yes, I did enjoy playing it in VR, but with no motion controller support and overall lack of polish I simply can’t recommend this right now, but I will take a look again in a few months.
