Bus Driver Simulator
Out of all the bus simulators on Steam, this is arguably the one with the most realistic feeling to it. Much of what you’ll be driving are old, Soviet-era tanks with no power anything that moan and groan over dips in the road. Expect lacking acceleration and the barest hint of functional brakes, which only becomes more pronounced with winter mode enabled. Turning radii are laughably bad, you’ll spend lots of time hopping curbs at first. The AI controlling other traffic is a mix of sensible and terrifying, with cars occasionally lane changing into you for no reason and the odd guy driving the wrong way. Accidents entirely caused by the AI are unusual now but they still happen, which adds a bit of a time limit factor if you hope to complete your route correctly. Passenger models are quite good with displaying individual character, just don’t be surprised to see clones when driving the larger buses. One thing you’ll not see anywhere else in a driving game are pedestrians using crosswalks and occasionally jaywalking…hard to spot sometimes and crunching them comes with a stiff penalty.

At its current state, the game is alright. Beside some stuff you may consider buying it, but it’s better to wait more and see if there will be any improvement.
Pros:
Great map, i hope the German one is as good as the Russian one.
Physics are great, you may even face sliding if you pull the handbrake or understeering if you steer way too quickly.
Graphics are great and it is good seeing that they improved a lot with the updates.
Cons:
There are some major problems that are not supposed to be in there because it is a simulator after all.

Extreme Offroad Monster Simulator
Very rudimentary game. Obvious why it only costs $2. Poorly coded; textures fly out of nowhere. Trees appear and disappear randomly. I bought it for my 4 year old to drive around and it is non-violent and basic enough for him. But I can’t recommend it for anyone else.

Alaskan Truck Simulator
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1149620/Gas_Station_Simulator/
Get behind the wheel of a mighty truck and jump into the boots of the Alaskan truckers, challenge and be challenged by one of the harshest and dangerous environments.
Alaskan Truck Simulator is a unique game that blends the well-known simulators’ classics with the ruthless environment of Alaska and elements of survival. Buckle up, we are about to set off for the proper adventure!
What comes to your mind when you think of Alaska? Endless wastelands, towering peaks, harsh winters, and sunny spring-like meadows. Alaska is a unique place to explore. How to do it better than driving a truck across the entire state? Experience changing weather, vehicles’ behavior on snow, cross the uneven roads, and find out how is your truck’s condition affected by harsh climate or the driver itself –this is just to name a few elements of the game.
It would be a dreamy world if you could carelessly drive around Alaska, but let’s be real, you need these bucks to fuel your truck and feed yourself, ain’t you?
Let’s start with a few cargoes. In order not to take the fun out of driving, while progressing in the game you will gain access not only to the better trucks or equipment but also to the more challenging missions. Anyway, no matter the prestige of your mission, always drive with cautious as you may lose your cargo, damage your truck and finally, end up with debt instead of earning.
You are here for a bit of adrenaline too, right?
We want to show by our game the bond between man and the machine, what shows it better than exploring the basic needs of both? You will need to pay attention to the stats management as well for yourself as for your vehicle. Hungry, tired, out of fuel or with a broken tire - take care of all the difficulties you can encounter on the road!
Among many features:
-
Dynamic weather system with Day/Night cycle
-
Vast interactive environment to explore
-
A dynamic economy based on jobs, ranks, and performance
-
Survival system
-
Useful knowledge to gain and mysteries to discover
-
Crafting, upgrading, repairing
-
Multiple roads, routes, and wastelands to conquer in your truck

Contraband Police: Prologue
Overview
Although Contraband Police: Prologue can be sufficiently reviewed by saying “in the likeness of Soviet Russia, vehicles inspect you,” ol' Il Pallino has always prided himself in objective reviews that are the basis for the comment “TL;DR.” Set in the early-1980’s, the prologue starts with the player on their first day on the job where people driving vehicles in worse condition than what the player will find in an American redneck’s yard and make note of the damage (which is typical) and look over papers with an Autobahn Police Simulator 2 mechanic of matching up information, and ultimately deciding to accept or reject a traveler attempting to enter the nation. (The player can simply use their eyes to make note of anything not in order with a traveler’s credentials.) Subsequent days consists of learning other game mechanics like inspecting vehicles suspected of containing contraband, along with the day off, in which the player empties the contents of the contraband storehouse, chucks would-be smugglers in the gulag, and buys new equipment. There’s also even a day where people are forbidden from bringing a certain type of cargo into the country.

I actually enjoyed this game. A lot! One of my favorite parts was the area where the tree was on the edge of the road. I was minding my own business making money and stuff and I hear this glass shattering and metal clanking. I run and look. I see a few vehicles lined up in a semi-circle at the end of the road so I watch them get out of their quagmire. Eventually all are on the road and here comes a vehicle so I step aside but the tree never moves. This is when I realize what was making the destructive sounds of vehicles hitting things. LMAO Every Single Vehicle passing by hit that tree. Every one of them. This I hope stays in the game. It adds character. :lol:

Junkyard Truck
Junkyard Truck is an open-world off road driving and mechanic simulator. You start by buying an old truck from the junkyard which needs some work to get it running. You’ll need to dismount the engine and pull it out, replace worn out or missing parts, and then put it back together and hope you did a thorough job. Once you get it running, you can use your truck to complete various off road missions to earn more money. When the missions get too tough, visit the auto parts store to buy upgraded engine parts, wheels, drivetrain parts, or accessories- or you may even find something good in the junkyard if you’re persistent. Be sure to keep up on maintenance since you’re going to be pretty hard on your vehicles.. When you think your truck is powerful enough, and you have enough bankroll for major repairs, use your truck to complete some of the map’s challenges, such as mud pits, rock crawls, hill climbs, and very destructive long jumps.
Mountain Taxi Driver
Honestly, I bought this game for $0.50 expecting a garbage game which I could laugh at for about 5 minutes then never play again, but I was very surprised when I actually started playing it. This has been the only game which has accurately showed the experience of a real Mountain taxi driver. The game does not need an intro, and just sets you straight into the action. The first thing you will notice once you start the first level, is the hyperrealistic graphics. I had no idea my 480p monitor could rival the graphics of the real world. This game has realistic driving, realistic obstacles, and realistic pay for a real world mountain taxi driver. I would highly recommend this game for fans of the GTA series, Beamng, The crew, any other racing game on steam, fans of driving, or real mountain taxi drivers.
