   Truck Driver is an absolutely fantastic game. The atmosphere and the gameplay are nice and relaxing. I love the storyline approach. TheTruck Driver is an absolutely fantastic game. The atmosphere and the gameplay are nice and relaxing. I love the storyline approach. The characters are memorable and it is highly satisfying and rewarding to help them develop their companies and fulfil their dreams. Kudos for Soedesco and Triangle Studios for bringing a trucking game to consoles. A must-have!… Expand

   Onto the game itself, I have a base PS4 and this game runs smoothly on it and the graphics are good for this kind of game, your not going to get a Star Wars Battlefront level of photo-realism but on a base PS4 the graphics hold up nicely. The game itself is what you expect, you pick up deliveries and drop them off, unlike Euro Truck there is a slight narrative aspect to this game with various "mission givers" talking to you via a phone text like system. Now this game is in an early stage but the groundwork is there for a great game, to bring this game on par with Euro Truck it needs to have a bigger map, which good news the developers have stated they will be expanding the map, the game also needs a business element to it like Euro Truck, this is one of the main attractions of Euro Truck and this game needs this, in its current state you do however earn money you can buy new trucks and a few small upgrades as well as upgrade skills with XP earned to increase your fuel economy, income or how long you can drive before needing a sleep. You also have a few small cosmetic options for your trucks which you can unlock and buy, but to really increase the longevity of this game you do need to be able to hire new drivers, buy them a truck and increase their skills as you wish, just like on Euro truck you could train a couple of drivers to do quick deliveries for regular income or train them to do long haul trips for a lot of money over a long period.
   
   A quick message to the devs I hope you read this and take into consideration what I've currently said, obviously in business you want the best product, you want an apple computer or an IPhone and nothing else, Euro Truck Sim represents the best product on the market at the moment and so you need to copy what Euro Truck does best, but also improve on the formula, perhaps you could add an option to walk around? perhaps have the ability to customise garages and maybe rent out upstairs accommodation in the garages for extra profit? or maybe a casino for players to meet up with other truckers to blow away all of their earnings on a game of poker against another player or the AI, but all that is future stuff, right now all you need to do is continue to improve on the core of the game.
   
   So, should you buy this game? if you have wanted a trucking sim on console and don't have access to a PC then certainly, the choice is yours. I have bought this game and although I am a Euro Truck Sim veteran I have wanted a trucking sim on PS4 for ages and I am glad to support the developers, I no longer have access to a PC so this is really now my only option. This game has the groundwork to become the market leader in trucking games on console, the devs behind Euro Truck have stated before that they wouldn't be able to bring Euro Truck Sim onto console because of the many controls, I personally don't believe that, perhaps they will change their mind if this game becomes a success? but that means the devs of Truck Driver need to corner the console market while they can.… Expand

   Missing a lot of features that makes other truck simulators a lot more fun to play...
   
   Truck driver has the potential to be a good game butMissing a lot of features that makes other truck simulators a lot more fun to play...
   
   Truck driver has the potential to be a good game but barely just scrapes across as an average game and here is why.
   
   - AI vehicles are completely retarded causing traffic jams everywhere.
   -Not enough AI vehicles so the world feels empty.
   -No law enforcement, so you can just speed everywhere.
   -No where near as many customisation options as other Truck sim games have.
   -Contracts are boring and not enough variety.
   -Side mirrors are so laggy it looks like a bad PS1 game when you are looking through them. And that’s not even the full list of things that are bad in the game I could go on and on. I really do hope the devs release some patches addressing just some of these points as I really want to like this game but for now I will just be rating it as.... Meh/10… Expand

   The game looks good and is very chill, decent enough for a console truck sim, but falls way short of the PC selections. Devs need to squashThe game looks good and is very chill, decent enough for a console truck sim, but falls way short of the PC selections. Devs need to squash some bugs, but nothing game breaking that I've experienced so far. The world has a bit more character than the other games of this type, characters with dialogue and all that, and the seaside landscape is nice. The graphics are a bit more stylized and colorful, but not incredibly detailed, which isn't a bad thing necessarily. The realism and control details are fewer here, making it more "casual" to a degree, but this also isn't a bad thing, but they need more to back up the experience as a trade-off.
   
   There needs to be more variety and more challenge, though. More penalties for speeding, collisions, time limits, and things like that, more AI vehicles and other trucks on the road, more pedestrians, etc. Maybe even some random events to keep players on their toes, like car breakdowns/wrecks, etc. (this would be a unique addition that I'd love). Dynamic weather is a must. And of course some map expansion would be nice, since it is a bit too small for this type of game.
   
   I don't think anyone expects this to topple ETS/ATS, but with some tweaks and additions, it can be a respectable alternative for consoles, or at the very least not be laughed off the internet once it releases for PC, because as of right now ETA/ATS are so far ahead that TD in its current state has no chance to compete. Hopefully Soedesco can show people that they have what it takes to support their game, which their reputation up to this point hasn't been too good in that regard. I'll certainly raise my score if they do, since this game really has potential to carve out its own niche in the genre.
   
   Edit: I've raised my score a bit since Soedesco has come out and said they have acquired another developer for the game and are committed to future improvements and updates.
   
   Edit 2: Mid 2020 and they've barely done anything with the game. A few bug fixes and engine update, but brings with it just as many new bugs. Still no map expansion. It might still happen, and I hope it does, and to their credit they're still working on the game, but updates are too slow.… Expand

   Bought this game Friday was really excited, installed and there was an update 1.12, great I will have all the new fixes. Works fine at firstBought this game Friday was really excited, installed and there was an update 1.12, great I will have all the new fixes. Works fine at first but once you get to third mission for construction crew, you can’t get load, the wheels are in the concrete. So can’t move forward in career mode, and game crashes every 10-15 minutes.… Expand
