Simply the best truck simulation game.A player since the first ETS, I immediately got hooked on this second opus and I've still been playing it today for over 10 **** updates are always well done, the mods/maps add a big ****'s simply the best game of all time.
Driving around in virtual Europe while listening to the radio or a good podcast is a surprisingly enjoyable and relaxing experience. An acquired taste, perhaps, but still a good game.
game is just perfect, if there are no dlcs realased within a long time you still have mods like promods, grand utopia, and many other. the sales are just insane so you can get every dlc for a cheap price while still supporting them
the game is excellent but everything is built on DLS for me this system buy the game and pay is unacceptable if it was a free game but with DLS I would tolerate it even though it is a permanent drawback I would like to praise the game for the authentic recreation of the world and excellent gameplay and graphics total 7 out of 10
This game doesn't deserve a 10 rating but it doesn't means it is not good. It is an OK game but I have to remove a few points as it is NOT a truck simulator at all. The graphics are quite good and you can manage your own garages and employees, which are great things into the game. This game is very addictive and it is a good thing because you spend a lot of good time trying to upgrade your trucks and your skills. However, there are a few things that makes it lose so many points. Every simulators start with the principle that you start without any experience and you learn how to pilot or drive your vehicule so you become better and better each time you practice. Euro Truck simulator 2 is nothing of that. You will start being the best driver on the planet and soon enough, the traffic commits so many infractions that you are getting 10 tickets and 20 vehicule collision per run, which is quite irrealistic considering the fact that most of the real truck drivers never get an accident of their life. Also, the ticket system is quite weird and stupid at a certain point. For exemple, if you have a collision with another car because the other driver stopped in the middle of the highway after overtaking you and getting back on your lane, you are the one who reveive a 400 Euro ticket for hitting him. Basically, the game is good until you arrive at level 20 and people around you starts driving like headless chickens.
So basically, it's a good game. However, it is NOT a simulator. It is ONLY a good game which will give you many hours of fun.
While I enjoyed playing this game, I don't get the high scoring it gets, it really tells something about the reliability of the people that score the game since this game has big undeniable flaws.
It's fun to get a truck, improve it, buy a new one, start your own company, evolve it, travel, a relaxing game indeed, but that's it, nothing else.
The first problem I have is with the map, its like a repetition of a repetition, all streets look equal, all the background scenarios look pretty much the same, but at least near cities you can see iconic buildings in the background image. When you arrive to cities, all you have is like two extremely small city blocks, feels really lacking.
Traffic is horrible, absolutely unrealistic, traffic AI is not better than any mid 90's game, everyone drives at the same speed, no one breaks the law, no one passes a yellow light, there's no overtaking's, just absolutely boring and repetitive.
For a game that has 'Simulator' in its name, this is a pretty bad simulation, driving the truck feels nice, but that's it.
