Bus Simulator 21

Bus Simulator 21 is for everyone. Being able to cater to your playstyle from the most basic of set ups to as realistic as they can make it, the game gets its hooks in you after a few hours. I always wanted to run one more route before getting up from a play session. The vehicle AI leaves something to be desired, but we can all think of a few drivers that give us road rage.

Bus Simulator 21 certainly kicks things into high gear above its predecessor with a lot of appreciated quality-of-life improvements. But, it's brought down by an awkward driving system, UI clutter, AI clunkiness, and apparent optimization issues. Yet, it remains a solid new product in the active driving sim genre.

Ultimately, Bus Simulator 21 does a good job - it gets the blend of driving simulator and management simulator pretty much spot on, even if both of those individual parts have room for improvement.

Stressful yet relaxing, realistic yet laughably stiff at times – Bus Simulator 21 is full of contradictions some will appreciate and others won’t understand. It succeeds in giving you a faithful recreation of what it’s like to drive around a bus all day and all the ups and downs that come with the job. It also keeps things as safe as possible causing it to be as mundane as, well, driving a bus all day.

Consistent improvement of the series, in which you can sink dozens of hours with the right mindset.

Bus Simulator 21 turned out to be a lot better than I was anticipating. It has a ton of the typical shortcomings you see in simulator-type games, but it also gets a lot right. The maps are large, pretty, and varied. Busses handle well and feel weighty when making corners. And the multiplayer is genuinely fantastic. If other sims take note of what Bus Simulator 21 is doing in regards to cooperative modes, this might be a genre I start to pay much more mind to.

A relatively successful, fun and complex bus driver simulator is marred by some often unnecessary bugs. I firmly believe that the developers will eventually manage to remove a large part of them through updates. Overall, though, I'm at peace with the game, and in a discount sale I probably wouldn't hesitate to buy it for long. The full review is on my gaming site here: ****/recenze/bus-simulator-21-recenze/

Graphics and driving mechanics are good. Only thing I don't like about this game is optimization. Low end PCs will not be able to play this game happily.

a driver sim should really utilise g29 driving wheel better in 2021 its the go to sim wheel for many players. this lack of control really doesnt mix well with the cheap and undone look and feel of the game. game has potential but its far from reaching it at this stage

To jest jakiś żart, jedyne zmiany w tej nowej części to nowe autobusy, nowa mapa itd. Zmian dużo nie jest. Sterowanie autobusami stało się bardziej "kreskówkowe" niż w BS18. Jest więcej autobusów to na plus, na dodatek mamy nową mape. Odswieżona, stara mapa z BS18 i nowa w USA. Grafika się nie zmieniła, a gra posiada jeszcze więcej bugów niż w BS18. Twórcy zamiast wydawać DLC żeby wyciągnać jak najwięcej hajsu z graczy to niech lepiej poprawią denerwujące błędy. Poprzednia część (Bus Simulator 18) jest lepsza. Na dodatek gra jest droższa.

This game is literally unplayable, the driving controls and feeling is so unrealistic and the bus models are poorly designed. The passengers are ascending from the heaven gates into your bus and the multiplayer connection quality is poor. I don't recommend this game to anyone even for free.
