ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Train Simulator 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 42 and 83 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Construction City 2's written reviews are positive against 40% of Train Simulator 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
