How do I put this, the game has some interesting ideas like running your own company and creating routes but it's really not fun to play. That combined with poor optimization, bugs and the buses driving like a sack of potatoes makes for an awful experience.

Unoptimized and buggy games are all that Astragon can make. This is yet another one. They keep adding buggy expansions to a already buggy game. They clearly dont care. All their games. become nothing but cash grabs. They keep releasing nothing but broken games and, they keep breaking promises which which now happens in all Astragon games.

My 6 yr old daughter loves the sandbox of this game. She logs so much time driving around picking people up and exploring. If there is one thing I could ask for in the future game (she is getting it as it comes out near her birthday), it would have to be an option for kid mode or at least mod support for that. Making it so she could pick up and drop people off to any stop, simplified door controls ( the ramp …

The best bus simulator out there, especially now that most of the bugs have been fixed, the simulation has been expanded with trams, and new features have been added. The single‑player mode is very good, and it’s great that there’s online play as well. The game is far more enjoyable and accessible than Fernbus / Tourist Bus / The Bus / Bus World / Bus Driver Simulator / OMSI 2. The driving model leans more toward …

Every time I turn on my PC and want to relax a bit from a long day, my 7 year old comes to me and asks to play "Bus". He really likes this game and I have to help him to find busses in the city, that are pretty rare actually for a bus game. But hey, it is a the gentle version of GTA as a concept. Only good that he does not want to become a bus driver in real life, since this is a job with no future, obviously FSD …

I was hoping this would be Truck Sim but for buses, and what it feels like instead is a Roblox game.

WHICH NEEDS TO BE DONE, ik bus sim 27 got announced but bus sim 21 still needs more content before u can give it the send off it deservec. PLease update the game and fix the bugs and add more content

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think this game can best be described with one word German word: "grottig". Lousy. It's somehow worse than its predecessor on so many levels. The physics feels all wrong. The busses struggle to accelerate to 50 km/h, but have no issues stopping immediately to zero. Cars and other busses glitch over the terrain, especially where the tram tracks have been shoddily thrown onto the street. The hit scanning doesn't work properly, so you can't even do all the necessary quests because stupid…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WORST ****ING GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED This bus driving game is honestly one of the most frustrating and disappointing games I’ve ever played. From the very start, it feels unfinished, clunky, and poorly put together. Instead of being a relaxing or immersive driving simulator, it just feels like a chore to play. Every part of it gives the impression that it was rushed out without proper testing or care for the player experience, and that makes it incredibly hard to enjoy even for a short…

This game has somehow managed to take a huge step back from 18. The sound effects are worse, the performance is just as bad, the controls are still poor when compared to Fernbus and the city makes no sense. What kind of ♥♥♥♥♥ up lunatic city planner would put stops immediately on the edge of sharp bends? It's little wonder…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice game, the story is exelent and graphics look great, the only thing the developers should do is optimisation. definitli recommend. Ui is olso good and not too complicated.All bus brand are in the game.Physics of the buses is pretty good.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the worst games I have ever played. It is so poorly optimised it got my GPU to over 90 degrees C and feels overall very janky and unfinished. Furthermore, the game wont recognise my pedals as two different inputs, instead thinking it's only one, meaning it wasn't possible to have the acceleration and brake bound. If you want a game where you drive big vehicles, just stick to ETS2.

neutral · AI labelView post →Way worse than it's predecessor Bus Simulator 18 - feels like you're driving on a Fortnite map, physics are too simple, graphics are mid, city is unrealistic and just simply boring, there's no random accidents on the road, bus handling is also like just bad.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a scam, turns out the "gold upgrade", that has the following in its description: "includes all previously released premium DLCs for the game" - does not include even 50% of all the game's content. Wish I realized before 2 hour mark.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's not a simulator game. There are two modes 1. You play story mode (why anyone would want to do this is beyond me), where most of the business is run for you, and you have to complete missions. You don't do anything yourself (aka the opposite of what a simulator is supposed to be), the decisions are made for you and you're simply the whipping boy. or 2. You play career mode, where everything is unlocked for you. So, no progression, in other words. Incredibly strange game mode options,…
