My review is long, so you can skip it if you don't want to read a lot. There's going to be 3 sections, good, bad, and early to decide. Good: 1. The game is not a mere bus simulation game, you choose a bus, choose or create a route and build your transport company by spending the money you get from trips on buying new buses and increasing the size of your fleet. Your mission is not only to transport people to their desired destination, but also to save their lives, it just doesnât copy other simulation games with plenty of them available to purchase. Buses in general look and sound exactly as what you expect from a bus that took the streets during the 80s, no Setra, no Man, no Scania, no electric buses, just the bus that smells fuel every time you step in. If you were born in 80s like me, youâll know what Iâm talking about. 2. All bus games, or at least, the ones I played, uses automatic transmission, despite many players calling on adding a manual transmission with an H-Shifter, devsâ response has always been âall buses today are automaticâ. With Bus World, playersâ voice has finally been heard and you have the chance to finally use your H-Shifter in a bus game, not only Euro or American Truck Simulator, and that makes sense because all old buses used manual transmission. 3. They way they designed the countryside in Prypiat was fabulous, amazing, the green fences surrounding the houses, the horrible roads that keep your head touching the bus ceiling, the bus stops that appear from nowhere, some people may think itâs the devsâ fault but in reality itâs exactly as it looks like in the game. Iâm not Ukrainian but I lived in Ukraine, and only Ukrainians or those who lived in Ukraine or the Russian countryside can design the countryside in this game because green fences existed, and even today they still exist, mostly, if not only, in the countryside since most people there live in houses not flats like in the city. If youâre non of these 2, you canât design such a countryside by simply searching Google images. Youâve got to physically be and live there, and thatâs what keeps me playing Free mode around Prypiat. Bad: 1. Unlocking scenarios, in order to unlock one scenario in Prypiat, youâve got to play a scenario in Southern China, I canât understand the logic here. Devs may think that each mission teaches you new skills, but these skills can be acquired without travelling to the edge of the globe, I found that really annoying and unreasonable. 2. Some missions I played, especially in China, canât be finished, you reach a point where youâve done everything and you just canât finish the mission, then you try for one last time, doing exactly as you did in the last 200 attempts and suddenly, you pass the mission, why and how? No clue. I did that with most missions in the game but got stuck at one mission, the night tornado mission, which I still havenât passed even after watching many Youtube videos and doing exactly what they did, no good. 3.The auto save doesnât exist, if for some reason you fail at one point, you have to play the mission from the very beginning. In the Red Forest mission, I had only one radiation spot left to find, but, I passed out because of the radiation and I had to start the game from the very beginning. Thereâs no âlast checkpointâ in the scenario, only in free mode. 4. IMPORTANT: if you ask any player who plays games like buses games, or trucks, or farming, or any other simulation and simulation like games, whatâs the main reason? Itâs to relax and enjoy. The question here, how can I relax and enjoy if in order to get all buses I have to go through nuclear disasters and natural disasters and repeat each mission more than 5 times and get stuck at some of them? How can I enjoy and relax after that? Maybe after destroying my wheel, which I didnât buy cheap by the way. In free mode, gaining XP is like eyes drops, one drop each 6 hours. The moment you reach a point when youâve unlocked everything is the moment youâve already had enough of the game and you want to uninstall it to free some space for another game. XP system really needs to be worked on or at least, add a sandbox mode where everything is unlocked or an economy mode when you have to earn money to buy a new bus, in other words, a simulation mode. 5. This game looks like a remaster of its precedent, Bus Driver Simulator 2019, developed by the same team. They made some improvements and added scenarios, so if you played that game you wonât find it difficult learning the basics of this game. Early to decide: 1. Like all games, even the triple A games, there are some minor bugs, and itâs normal, they donât kill the game. 2. There are only 3 scenarios and a limited option of buses, and thatâs also OK since the game, despite fully released and no longer in early access stage, is still young, so I expect more areas to be added to the game, for example, in some todayâs cities, and here Iâm not talking about the beautiful shiny streets of Europe, no, Iâm talking about modern era but with some no too developed countryside. One last point, Iâd like to see more wheel support in future updates and patches. Final verdict: if you love buses games and love to drive old buses with manual transmission and you have the wheel with the clutch, this game is for you. If you love racing games and speed, stay away, itâs not for you. If you like to play some scenarios beyond the daily duties of a bus driver, this game is for you. If you only tend to drive an old bus peacefully, this game MIGHT be for you in the future if the devs add a sandbox or economy mode. If you have the patience to play for long hours to get few XP points every time you finish a route, so this game is for you. My personal decision, I like the game and I enjoy it, but would enjoy it much more if previously mentioned points are dealt with, precisely, the modes.

A really cool game with great scenarios and great difficulties. There is one annoying achievement because it would take several hours of just plainly drive around. Apart from that a really cool and detailed game with great stories. I can really highly recommend it.

It is so bad in terms of performance, My PC can run Forza Horizon 5 at Extreme maxed out with 8x MSAA with over 100 FPS at 1080p meanwhile this game barely runs over 60 and often drops to as low as 40, Also the GPU usage is not always at 100%, this map is kinda optimized compared to the first map. But I still recommend it at a 70% discount especially if you are into BUS games, It ain't a simulator though, it is arcady.

Very well done! The game is really beatiful, immersive and reminds me OMSI 2 by its physics. I like color correction and visual effects. Additionally I very appreciate freeroam mode with routs. I hope you guys will keep improving it. I've met a bug in assigning a wheel Thrustmaster TX, it doesn't stay straight, in other words for somehow it is not centered and I can't understand how to fix this. Anyway thanks for the wondeful game and good luck! It would be awesome to be able to install own mods in steam workkshop to get more detailed and original models of buses.

A fun bus simulator with challenging scenarios, some were fun and others...not so much. For example, Chernobyl mission 3 was tedious and completely not fun. It involves a bus that is constantly on the brink of over-heating, you have to continuously kill the engine and coast along the way. This sounded like a fun challenge until the route was way too long and it probably took me about 30 minutes real time to complete it - I'd highly recommend the route be cut down to make it a fun mission instead of a boring grind. Overall I'd still recommend the game, it's been a blast so far especially the free mode gameplay. It's challenging - you have to obey the traffic laws while you haul around a bus that handles well, like a bus would, while trying to stay on time with your routes and getting penalised for things like driving with your doors open etc. I've never played a bus simulator before, this is my first but I've had a blast. The game provides you with interesting missions instead of just drive from A to B, natural disasters play a big part of the campaign missions from the Chernobyl incident to typhoons, geysers and other such incidents. The free mode will let you live out all of your bus driver fantasies and is a lot of fun. If it wasn't nearly 6 in the morning I'd still be playing it as we speak. I'm excited for what the future will bring! I'll definitely keep coming back to this.
