Euro Truck Simulator 2
I did a review before, Back then i had 18 Hours playtime. Now i gained a lot more hours on it :D
Back then my Review was not very detailed and since then Euro Truck Simulator 2 got updated constantly and has much more to offer by now, i decided to redo my review. So let’s begin shall we? :3
(For those who don’t want to read a book and expect a review in form of an IGN Joke - 10/10 would relax again)
The General Idea of the Game/Whats it about
The easiest answer would obviously be “Driving Trucks” B-But wait! That’s not all there is to know silly. This game is in all reality a “Relax and listen to a Podcast/Music while you drive Simulator”. This game is about you, your truck and an open Europe to travel across. How you do it, what trucks you will drive, what cargo you will haul or the places you will see is all up to you.

What is Euro Truck Simulator 2?
Well, basically you drive a truck and deliver trailers to your destinations across Europe. This game is from the people of SCS who made other Truck Simulator games, as referring to 18 Wheels Of Steel Series and Euro Truck Simulator
Seems boring to play if you do the same thing over and over.
It sure seems like it does, I honestly thought when I first saw this game it seemed boring when I saw this. I gave the first Euro Truck Simulator a try and loved it. This game soul purpose is meant for people who want to kill the time that’s worth it and love driving.

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.

Food Delivery Battle
Update 9/3/2021:
This day marks the end of my food delivery career.
After a fierce battle, my arch nemesis “NiiChungShanChiiShingChun” beat my WR, ate my tofu and had sex with my wife. In the past, everyone respected me and looked up to me, but now even beginners laugh at me and call me a pathetic loser. I put my life into this game, poured thousands of dollars into my bike, practiced every corner at least 100 times a day and then NiiChung came and took everything from me.
I hate you Niichung…

Simple but very fun little Crazy Taxi like game. Deliver food, earn money, upgrade your bike, it’s that easy. There’s 3 different stages (so far), 2 different game modes, and also supports using your very own VRoid character.

Car Tuning Simulator
So far so neat. It’s the perfect game for me to chill with some phonk music on the background. I highly expect this to become a full playable and interactive game in the future, so far they’ve caught our attention!

First off… The game is absolutely worth the 99 cents. So one can go ahead and get it if they are curious.
The game itself is VERY limited. you can change body parts, rims, tires and steering wheel. on 4 models of cars.
Then take it to one of 2 maps. That is basically it.
NOW here’s some problems…. while running the night map, there are invisible object in the middle of the road. you can’t see them, but you will crash into them and eff up your car.
The day map in suburbia, cars seem to appear from no where as well.

TravelRacer
This game is the testament for Human Endurance. How much are time are you willing to listen to the same annoying song for 2-3 hours. Knowing you get 2nd place you have to restart the entire race which each race can last up to 5-20 minutes. You’d probably be saying, “Oh how bad could it be.” Believe me, this is the worst 2.2 hours I have spent in my entire life. They should give this game to the military for mental endurance training.

Traffic City
If this is the Early Access version this game has LOADS of potential. To begin with you have a choice of vehicles to drive around a city which adopts a traditional ‘grid iron’ street pattern with a roundabout in the middle. On the whole the AI is quite good and precise and all the junctions which have them feature working traffic lights. Beware though: The steering left / right is a little ferocious if you keep the A / D or arrow = / = keys depressed. Fun / addictive / quite inspiring. I hope to see more from this game soon :o)

A Day of Maintenance
You’re a distant blip amongst the sands around New Port City; It’s been a long few shifts, but you’re almost done with doing your sweep of the guidance stations for the docking spaceships. Take your Massive Self-Sustaining Installation Repair Truck (or MSSIRT for short); & travel the landscape to fix the last few on your list for the day with your trusty multi-tool crane.
A Day of Maintenance is a new, unusual kind of exploration game, taking cues from In Other Waters, 17776, Signal from Tolva, and Euro Truck Simulator 2
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking:
“I want a kind-of-technical driving game with a little gay romance but also some discussion over robot worker consciousness. (With crane operation gameplay)"
This game is for you.
-
Around 8 hours long
-
This game is deliberately slow-paced. Enjoy the drive, sip a cup of something warm, fix sites in the distant future.
-
Chat with your Robot Boyfriend, 6 workmates, & a couple other characters along the way.
-
Best played with a gamepad. But there’s mouse & keyboard bindings for everything.
Chat with Orby about cool stuff like databases, satellite software, and the possibility of having your mind overwritten by a routine check-up.
As you drive the open desert, your crew of fellow maintenance robots will chew the scenery; debating over trains, spaceships, philosophy, and hats.
Oh! You might also uncover a conspiracy.
