My gambling addict friend said if I post a review on this game and it gets 150 likes and 50 Awards that he will buy me a case of beer and some vodka So im just gonna leave this here.Show moreShow less
I am a HUGE fan of the 2018 bus simulator, to me that was PEAK Bus Simulation. The controls were easy to handle the bus felt great to drive and the game was set out nicely! I waited for hours for the release of this game, to be greeted with a half finished badly controlled game. - There are issues with the clothes clipping, cars driving through people, cars driving into your character and pushing them down the road and your character clipping into cars which upsets the character's model camera. -The camera angle is funky the character movement feels off too, Being able to run sideways while trying to run forward doesn't seem to normal. -Now for the bus controls, the bus turning circle is way too extreme, the bus is so sensitive and i couldn't adjust the seats for the life of me! The driving mechanic feels so messy and the HUD for the controls is unorganised and at times nonexistent. -There are cars on the road which don't follow road rules, they will drive out in-front of your bus and at times drive right through people walking on the street. -NPC's will stand on the side of the road and with no warning will sprint onto the road in-front of your bus which will cause you to collide with them. If a system isn't broken it shouldn't need to be fixed, if this game had the controls of bus simulator 2018 it would've been a lot more enjoyable, i'm not even going to try and give it a chance as i don't want to play this game for more then 2 hours as i will be refunding it.Show moreShow less

Thank goodness I tried this on a free weekend. Meh handling. Meh graphics. Tedious. Took only 20 mins to get bored. Overpriced - even if it's on special.Show moreShow less

Bugs luckily were fixed at "Next Stop" update. -> Game is good for players which likes buses but I still think even after huge update game still missing some things. I wouldn't say it's down grade from 18 ANYMORE by "Next Stop" -Update, but still the game needs lots of optimizations. Game has lots of potential but game needs still content and few features. Before "Next Stop" -update I couldn't recommend this game, but since this isn't anymore full of bugs this game is pretty good.Show moreShow less
Purchased this game on the launch day, i have been playing daily since then. What i like: > Nice buses to drive and quite many and various brands > Multiplayer mode > Freedom to choose where and what time u wish to drive > NPCs actually overtake if you are parked on the side of the road (Bus stop or any road) > Route planning actually has some challenge as there is an need to plan the route based on demands and peak times. you will also need to schedule the right buses for those routes. Eg. for the city "Oakwood" ideally you will want small electric buses instead of gigantic buses as this will help move your profit higher. (50k vs 150k). Also there is types of route. Problems i faced: > Weather (Really kinda upset by the weather, it always just rains or not) > NPC dialogues. Once you played couple of hours like, u will realize that the NPCs keeps saying the same all sentences and it gets kinda annoying after awhile > Multiplayer mode can't chat meaning if you are playing with strangers, you guys kinda just start honking at each other. Morse code huh lol > Still pretty buggy. - AI's walking off the bridge in oakwood and landing on the road below the bridge - Player & NPC missing umbrellas when alighting from bus - Wheelchair NPC's Umbrella kind of glitched and broken - NPC's arms sticking out of bus sometimes when they do "actions" - Random little bump into a sedan at 15km/h causes the car to fly away ( just lolx ) > AI bus drivers just stop moving at bus stops to wait till their "Supposed" time to leave (when their counter reaches 0" This causes u to be late as u cannot let passenger get off or on and even if you manage to, you get smacked by a penalty for "bad parking". > AI traffic blocking the road when they should proceed to turn right at stop signs or when they have the right of way Improvements i suggest: > Fix the above i have mentioned in "problems i faced" > Implement heavier traffic during peak hours and more variety of cars > Allow bus stops to have more than 1 bus at the same time (By parking behind them and lined up if the bus stop is long enough) > As others have said, we could have emergency vehicles to make the environment more realistic > Add a whether forecast with temperatures and whether it would rain > Make rain not a "everyday" thing and "variable rain density" (currently it will just rain everyday as i see) > Hoping to see fully crowded buses during peak hours > Really wish they add a multiplayer chat (that be really helpful) > NPCs don't do frequent brake checks on your bus. (I've encountered this multiple times) Verdict: I personally don't think it is the right time to buy this game now as they have not fixed alot of stuff and neither is it a big deal breaker from Bus Simulator 2018. Perhaps when they have fixed the issues mentioned, it will be worth buying. Qn : Am i satisfied or pleased? Ans: Meh. I'm honestly not but neither is it bad. its just hmmm Peace outShow moreShow less

I have over 500 hours in Euro Truck Simulator 2 so I know what a simulator is. I played this game for 2 hours and it is very boring and the controls are not a simulation either. I've never done this before, but now I've asked for my money back.Show moreShow less
