    I recommend buying a steering wheel for this game. I didn't like the game.Although the idea is really good, but I'm not a fan of cars.

    Chill Zen-Game, it's relaxing to just drive around making delivering while listening to music/podcasts. Driving feels realistic and is highly customizable. The ability to recruit other drivers and acquire garages in multiple locations is a nice addition. Driving AI behaves a bit too passive but overall is pretty decent. Overall enjoyable, despite being rather monotonous.

    It's a good simulation game but if you continue playing for a long period of time and you don't buy DLCs the game can start being boring.

    But im not that enthusiastic about its' disadvantages. This game is just a relaxator, not a simulator. Physics is not even close to the real, i cant feel im driving heavy machine, its extremely easy to control it, there no traffic accidents, dumb drivers, weather and road covering doesnt influence on the stability of tires etc. Its just a game, where you simply drive a truck without any reasons to be worried. No any real challenge, what i actually dont like.
    Moreover, it becomes too casual when you hire around 5-8 workers. Your daily profit become extremely high. You dont need to pay your workers, you dont need to maintain your trucks, your garages etc.
    All-in-all, its a very casual truck game, not a real simulator. Its 7 years old already, and devs keep making updates and DLCs, which is ofc good, but isnt it a time to start work on a new, realistic game on new modern engine?    … Expand

    I have played a lot of Euro Truck Simulator 2 recently, simply because it feels good to drive in an open world under realistic conditions, and the physics of truck driving feel very real (although I have never driven a truck myself). Delivering goods feels very satisfying, and in the first 30 hours of play there is a real progression. You can spend time to customise you truck in every detail. Exploring Europe and discovering each and every city is also very nice. Most of all, as opposed to all the racing games on the market, Euro Truck is a simulation that is not nervous: you play totally relax, listening to the radio and enjoying driving sensations at the same time.

    Now, I don't think this game deserves tons of rewards or overwhelmingly positive reviews across the board for various reasons. First and foremost, an important part of the game, that is, the growth of your own company, is very underwhelming. Basically, it sums up to buying "boxes" (garages), and inside these boxes, buy smaller boxes (trucks and employees). And once they are bought, their just produce money. I might sound sarcastic but it is as simple as this. You don't get to micromanage your employees, you don't interact with them in any way, nothing. It's literally putting money to receive more in the future, except that the things producing money have a face. Furthermore, at some point in the game (which I reached around 30 or 40 hours, from what I remember), your company will start making benefits even when you don't drive, which means that at this point the game pushes to just teleport from garage to garage to generate money. You read this right: at this point, you should ignore the core of the game (driving) to progress faster. A few hours later, you will own more garages, have more employees and shower in money, and at this moment you feel spoiled because you see your bank account with millions on it but don't know what to do with it. Just the Steam achievements are there to push you to continue.

    Some aspects of the gameplay feel very clunky. For example, you can get fined in ridiculous circumstances: if the speed limit decreases at some point, you'd better have good eyes to see the sign indicating it, because if you are 1 mph too fast 1 millimeter after the sign, you can get fined immediately. If you get tired but find not resting place on the highway, you can be caught in an infinite loop of fining, which is needlessly frustrating. If you are late on a delivery, some stupid music, that does not fit the game at all, starts to play, clumsily reminding you that you are late...

    Finally, I also disliked the rigidity of the mechanics of the game. The traffic really feels like a series of robots; collisions feel clunky; every penalty is a money penalty; damages on your truck always imply the same weird engine problem (engine turning off occasionally). In other words, the gameplay is very shallow, you don't get to discover much beyond the basics of the game.

    Yet, I enjoy playing this game because it is the only game I know which combines nice and original driving sensations and exploration in a relaxed atmosphere. Euro Truck Simulator 2 deserves a blue thumb, and despite all its problems I play it with pleasure. But looking at it objectively it could have benefited a lot from various improvements of the gameplay.    … Expand

    While I enjoy driving around all the different areas in the game and zooming down a highway at 120 km/h hauling a 61-ton locomotive, there is little complexity to this game. Much of the game is simply spent driving from place to place, delivering various loads to various companies in various countries. That's it.

Much of the game is simply spent driving from place to place, delivering various loads to various companies in various countries. That's it.

    If you exclude the driving, there is always the spending of money to get more and bigger garages and trucks, which allows for more spending of money to get even more and bigger garages and trucks. Don't forget to hire drivers, though!

    Seriously, if you're looking for a game with a complex economy that requires a great deal of patience and focus, this game is definitely not that game. I could include the minor annoyances of the AI and incredibly pixellated side view mirrors that make reversing one way a pain due to the lack of spatial awareness and essentially forces me to look out the window instead, but that has a minor impact on my overall score.

    To sum up: this game has driving in it, and the economy is about as deep as the Salar de Uyuni after a rainstorm.    … Expand

    A good sim. I think there is room for improvement. I would see truck parts from each company and some that are available to all, instead of having all parts available for all trucks. Makes it useless to have different companies.

    It's too evident which company to choose from since they have the best truck right off the bat. Why should we go for another company when there is this one?

    Also, each truck dealer shows the same truck many times, they're not different, they just got different upgrades. Each major truck dealer should have at least three REALLY different trucks, with one additional fully upgraded version of each. I don't see the point of buying a half upgraded truck. I either buy a cheap one with no upgrades or a fully upgraded one.

    Boy, was I disappointed when I saw that all the trucks each dealer was selling was just replicas of the first but with more upgrades and a different paini job. this sucks

    Anothing thing that sucks is that there are too many dumdum dlcs. I mean, who would waste money for paintjobs dlcs? Come on, are these guys beggars or something? Just put every darn paint job into one dlc, sell it 5$ and be done with it.

    The designers wastes too much time with stupid eyecandy stuff and not enough on expanding for real this game. There are only a very few true expansions, 2 or 3 I think, and the game was released in 2013!

    The AI is dumb, and for a sim, that's a really bad thing. For example, I check left and right before going onto a road at a crossroad, no one. I drive forward and turn, then boom! an idiot rams me at 100 km/h++. Man! Wasn't he watching the road? Later in another job, I do something else but I still watch for incoming vehicles, none to be seen, then BOOM! another idiot rams me. Ok, maybe this happens once or twice a year irl in a country, some idiot was sleeping on his steering wheel and bang, or some moron was tweeting or texting and then bang! But not every day!

    The recent updates have increased the realism of the game, trucks don't stop so easily now... but why didn't the designer do this since day one? It show how little they know of trucks to start with, but also shows that they care about their sim by releasing patches.

    The sim is still enjoyable, but since this game looks so serious, maybe the physics engine and depth of the game should be propotionate to its looks. Because all these designers do is improve the look of the game and not the game itself. :/

    Anyway, I bought it for like 5$ and I think it's worth at least that... if they would stop releasing crappy paint job dlcs and include all of them in the base game, maybe I would a pay 6 or 7$. Once you are in the game (this year's version) you see that there is very little depth, very few truck parts that you have no idea what effect they have on your truck aside from the lights and engine which are obvious... even though I have upgrade my truck to the best engine from the lowest and saw little change, if non at all...    … Expand

    The concept of the game was very interesting in that you could take something so simple and make it so complex; however, games are supposed to be entertaining and while this game was okay, it was not as entertaining as most of the games I play.

Especially painful is how badly traffic signs render - unless you stop to read them you'll have problems deciphering them until you are within 20m of them. Which gets especially frustrating since some speeding cameras are placed right on top of the signs, ticketing you if you are even 1kph above the limit.

    What is pretty well done are the different signs and road markings in the different countries. They did not get all of them right, but the majority of them.

    A big let-down for a driving sim is the driving. Apparently nobody in the entire studio has ever heard of centrifugal force. So you will find yourself cornering tight turns in the street with 70+ kph with your heavy truck and a trailer with 22 tons of oranges without having the slights problem - even if there are bumps in the road. Your truck (and every other vehicle on the road) has perfect grip, always.

    While mentioning other vehicles.... be warned that a notable number of them is apparently stolen and driven by some poor suicidal maniac. At intersections they will completely ignore your right of way and jump out in front of you when you are 5m away. They might also crash into your side should they want to. Or crash into you from behind. The biggest madman I've seen so far decided to switch lanes ~50m in front of me, then when right between the two lanes hammer the brakes as hard as possible without there being any hindrance, instantly stopping the car (perhaps a tank in disguise? It had about the same stopping distance) while blocking two lanes and having me crash into the car - which got me fined for "causing an accident" and costing me thousands in repairs.    … Expand

This is a quality game with effort put into its design and I actually do enjoy it.

    ETS2’s biggest positive is that it’s very relaxing to play. If I have a free hour and want to chill out, I will fire this up and do a quick trucking job or two. It also does a fair job in presenting you with different landscapes and varied scenery.

    The downside is that the landscapes are not quite varied enough. The devs made a decent effort but after playing for a while, you will recognize all the reused set pieces such as highway interchanges, exit ramps, maintenance garages, and branches of companies where you accept jobs. And aside from driving on the left hand side of the street in England and some different background scenery, the experience on every highway and inside each city is virtually the same. Driving in Stuttgart is the same as driving in Paris is the same as driving in Rome. You won’t see the Eiffel Tower or Coliseum in the background nor any other famous streets, bridges or landmarks from any particular city. Likewise, every toll booth and rest stop are exactly the same, whether in Austria, the Netherlands or the Czech Republic.

    It’s also missing visual damage to vehicles. Your truck can get damaged by accidents but none of it will show on the outside. Neither will it show up on any car you hit. Every once in a while I like to cause chaos by getting up a head of steam & swerving into oncoming traffic. It’s very unsatisfying when nothing much happens aside from traffic stopping. I know that sort of thing is more reserved for a title like GTA or Saints Row, but still.

    The option of playing your own MP3s over the truck’s “radio” while driving was a great idea. Unfortunately, I found this to be a buggy feature. The game won’t play many of my MP3 files and I don’t know why.

    To make up for these shortcomings, there is a very engaging career mode. The more deliveries you complete, the more experience you earn. This allows you to gain levels which in turn allows you to build up your driving skills to make more money, unlock new types of delivery jobs and unlock new options & upgrades you can buy for your truck.

    Speaking of buying trucks, there are a lot to choose from, based on real life models from manufacturers like Volvo and DAF. They are expensive, but you can take out a loan from the bank if you want to get things rolling early on. You can also buy & upgrade various garages around Europe, buy more trucks, hire drivers to drive them, and all of this will end up earning you even more money.

    I’m still in the early stages of the game as I only have the one truck of my own and am working on repaying a loan, but I’m looking forward to continuing to play this. It’s more of something I will progress in gradually rather than sitting down and trying to grind away at. It’s a very nice change of pace.    … Expand

The world is HUGE but invisible walls make it seem linear, but it is fun to build up your company, the early game gets annoying because your only getting income through your own jobs and they are all pretty much the same... but the gameplay overall is pretty good. 6/10

    VISUALS:

    This game, looks decent, it's deep and engaging but in terms of the graphics, its ok...
    the graphics are pretty detailed at times but the cities don't look nice at all, the rain looks good, but when you travel across the sea with ferries you won't even be able to tell if you did it because there is no animation, but the graphics are decent. 7/10

    CONTROLS:

    The controls are very impressive, turning feels good, accelerating feels realistic, the only problem is that the trucks don't go fast enough, sure it is a simulator but with the size of the world it can get annoying. 8/10

    I can't review this games soundtrack because it doesn't have any, instead it let's you choose the soundtrack so I can't score this. N/A

    VARIETY:

    This is where the game shines. It allows so much variety in the ways you want to play, want to just explore the world and let your employees do the work for you? You can do that. Do you want to get as much cash as possible and always be working every second? Do that too. 8/10

    This game will never run out of content. I challenge anyone to have explored the entire game world, it will take at least 12 hours to do that, plus all the jobs and things you can do, overwhelming? No. Enough to keep you playing for a long time? Yes. 7.5/10

    OVERALL:

    Overall, this game is good, but will not standout from other driving games like Need For Speed or Driver: San Fransisco, The game is different, as it is a simulator, but it is still not as impressive. Of course, for simulation standards, this will be one of the best games you will find in this genre, but if you are not into simulators, you should still try it out, because it can be really fun at times. 7.4/10!    … Expand

    Has more graphics than simulation. The game-play is very repetitive another downside is the lack of customization for your truck. Game is ok, but the simulation is very poor

    Compared to other simulators that have been released in the past, this one is pretty good. The sound is good, the graphics are nice (aside from the anti-aliasing), and the game-play is fun for the most part.

    The main problem with this game is repetition. Obviously there's only so much you can do with a truck simulator, but there aren't any random events aside from weather changes that occur in-game. They should have added random accidents, road obstructions, route changes, and competition with other freight companies. I do enjoy the challenge of backing and docking the trailer when you reach your destination; doing so gives you plenty of extra experience and makes it somewhat challenging until you get the hang of it. Just remember your trailer will go right if you turn left and vice versa. And you need to know when to steer your wheels in order to get the trailer where you want it just like real life.

    The scenery is nice but all the cities feel the same. They did pay attention to which side of the road people drive on in particular countries you enter which is nice.

    The NPC AI is awful. Cars will stop for no reason and block the road for a while. There's an option to turn pedestrians off/on but you seldom see any walking around the cities.

    Customizing the trucks can be fun but it's mainly cosmetic things. You can swap chassis, motors, transmissions, and wheels/tires but that's about it. You can, however, adjust the braking, throttle, and steering response, etc. in the game options which is nice.

    If you enjoy trucking simulators then this game is definitely worth purchasing, but don't expect it to be something extremely great. I see it as a way to kill time while I'm relaxing at home.    … Expand

    The five new countries featured here are all quite beautiful, and offer a vast new road network to explore. This is bound to keep you trucking for hours as you explore every nook and cranny.

    The question isn’t “why would you play a game about that?” The question is “why wouldn’t you play a game about that?” If only those people on that bus knew what they were missing.
