The sounds are fun too, and the visuals; Derail Valley has that mix of realistic railroad happenings and cartoony chaos when your train derails and dives off a cliff, or you ram a train into a yard of tankers and watch it all blow up.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All this is adjustable though in the difficulty settings and there is a great opening tutorial to show you where to start.
Optimization

8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
it worked on my laptop with 8gb of ram and no gpu (min graphics) and very smooth, well optimized game and although it is tedious at times I still think it is a very fun game especially when you make 20k from a single job!
