There’s a complete lack of lip syncing as well when you do see people talking to you up close, not a deal breaker, but distracting enough to take the immersion away.

The choices are decent, though there’s some odd clothing choices available, as I had my driver in a crop top and super short skirt, not something you’d expect for professional bus attire. There’s also a handful of other minor improvements like AI, route planning and character customization but those previously listed are the major additions for this year’s entry.īefore you delve into your new bus driving career though you’ll be tasked with creating your character, vastly improved from the last version with 15,000 combinations, but still quite limited compared to other games. The European Seaside Valley map returns from the previous game but it’s been slightly revamped and improved but also includes the map extension, making for a massive city to plan, route and drive. The other major addition is a whole new map, Angel Shores, based in the US. Driving these new additions are an interesting addition and you’re even able to walk to the top deck as well.

While there’s not really a bullet point list of new features, a few of the notables would be the latest inclusion of not only double-decker busses but also now e-buses as well. They all appear to be authentic, as you can sit in the driver seat in first person and toggle every knob, switch and lever as you drive from stop to stop.īefore we delve into the rest of the game maybe you’re wondering what’s exactly new in Bus Simulator 21 compared to the last version like I was. While I’m not a bus enthusiast by any means, some people out there are, and they’ll be happy to know that the same bus brands make their return like MAN, Setra, Mercedes and IVECO, but developers stillalive studios wanted more, so they’ve also now included other brands like Volvo, Alexander Dennis, Scania, BYD, Grande West, and Blue Bird, adding to a total of 30 licensed busses and unique options that are a first for the series. Part bus driver, part city planner, Bus Simulator 21 expands on its base game allowing for much more personalization with bus liveries and route planning across two very large maps compared to the previous game. Sure, most of your time will be sitting in one of your busses, driving a route to earn money for your company and drive citizens to their destinations, but the other half of the game is the management part of running a transportation business.

That’s the tagline of Bus Simulator 21 and encapsulates its core game quite well. Well, it’s a new year and Bus Simulator 21 is now here for the masses, so I was interested to see what has been changed and improved, hoping for a slightly better experience with a few needed improvements from the last outing. It had a laundry list of minor issues and didn’t wow me with its bland visuals, but I still had a certain calm and relaxing experience as I drove around the city on different routes.

When I reviewed the inaugural Bus Simulator on Xbox One back in 2019, I wasn’t blown away but I did understand what it was attempting to accomplish for its specific target audience.
