“The game is just okay; it's the mobile version with all the content unlocked, but it's very drab with not much effort made to upgrade the graphics. Even though it's on the Switch, it should look a lot better. I've played other bus simulator games on the Switch, and they look so much better. Yes, graphics are not everything, but this also gets boring very quickly.”

A curiously compelling gameplay loop makes Bus Simulator much more entertaining than it has any right to be. The presentation is poor, but the act of actually picking up passengers and taking them to A-to-B in an expanding open world is moreish, and the title has a self-aware sense of humour that’s easy to appreciate.
