The verdict
A relaxing long-distance coach sim with great rain and weather, detailed buses and a big map. Skip it if you want career depth, smooth performance or cheap DLC.
Great for
Bus and ETS2 fans who want a chill long-distance driving sim, ideally with a wheel and a decent PC
Main risk
Poor optimization, crashes and bugs, with most buses and maps locked behind expensive DLC
What changed in the last 30 days
9 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews complain about FPS drops, stuttering, pop-in and the sense the game only gets DLC. England DLC is called buggy. Based on few reviews.
