gameplay4 positive mentions
optimization5 negative mentions
  • Unique combination of bus and tram driving in one game, offering immersion and variety not commonly found in the genre.
  • Realistic driving physics for both buses and trams, with satisfying vehicle handling and well-executed sound design.
  • Dynamic weather and seasons add atmosphere and driving challenge; good customer service with developer responsiveness to bugs and feedback.
  • The game suffers from performance issues including freezes, stutters, and poor optimization even on high-end systems.
  • Core gameplay and systems feel unpolished and unfinished, with persistent bugs such as problematic tram switching, AI traffic errors, and limited dynamic simulation.
  • Expensive DLC pricing and limited base content reduce overall value, with some players criticizing marketing, lack of depth in simulation and missing features like proper minimap or modding support.

  • optimization

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    19% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 31% negative mentions

    Optimization for the game is generally poor, with many users experiencing severe performance issues such as lag, stuttering, and inconsistent frame rates, even on high-end hardware. While some report decent performance on mostly ultra settings, the overall consensus highlights a lack of improvement compared to predecessors and competitors, making optimization a major concern that needs priority.

    • “Performance is decent: I get around 55–60 fps on mostly ultra settings.”
    • “Compared to other bus simulators like Bus or Bus Bound, performance here is significantly worse.”
    • “Performance drops: frame rate stability is inconsistent.”
    • “The game suffers from severe performance issues on my system.”
    • “I tested it on GeForce Now and experienced constant stuttering and freezing, and also on my laptop with RTX 4090.”
    • “Some of the issues from the predecessor are still there, and the performance is really lacking despite promised improvements.”

  • gameplay

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The gameplay receives mixed feedback, with praise for its fun driving mechanics and vehicle simulation, but criticism for issues like freezing during essential actions, limited map variety, and problematic tram routing and passenger placement that disrupt immersion. Some find it too arcade-like for a management game, while others recommend adjusting settings for a better experience. Overall, the gameplay is engaging but hampered by notable flaws.

    • “I like many of the mechanics of driving; the simulation of the vehicles, from my untrained opinion, is really neat.”
    • “Gameplay is better than Bus Bound or Bus Simulator 21.”
    • “The graphics and gameplay are very good.”
    • “This makes the new Tatra tram DLC basically unplayable for me because closing the tram doors is a normal and necessary part of gameplay, and the freeze happens exactly at that moment.”
    • “Map is tiny; in 3 hours of gameplay, you basically have seen everything as there is not much variety in road design and building design.”
    • “The biggest issue is still the core gameplay, especially the tram switching and routing system.”

  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    44% positive mentions, 23% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally praised for their good quality and realistic aesthetic, running better than some competitor titles, though performance can be mediocre and settings on medium or low may impact enjoyment. Some users note preferences for more photorealistic visuals and occasional issues possibly related to updates or drivers.

    • “The graphics and gameplay are very good.”
    • “Graphics-wise, the game looks very good, and compared to competitor titles runs better.”
    • “It looks quite high-quality in terms of realism and graphics.”
    • “The performance is still quite mediocre for not being that graphically intensive.”
    • “However, if you do not like medium or low graphics settings you will generally struggle no matter the PC; the pedestrians spawn at the very back of the bus/tram stop which makes you run late and the buses feel so light and bouncy.”
    • “Could this be related to the DLC, graphics settings, drivers, or a recent update?”

  • stability

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game exhibits stability issues, notably freezing completely when closing tram doors in the new Tatra Tram DLC. Additionally, AI pedestrians and traffic lights are buggy, causing gameplay disruptions.

    • “As soon as I close the tram doors, the entire game freezes completely.”
    • “The game runs normally before this action, but it freezes completely when closing the tram doors in the Tatra Tram DLC.”
    • “I even tried playing it with my 5-year-old child, and he noticed the freezes and asked why the game was 'stuck'.”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is notably enhanced by the dynamic weather systems, which add significant depth compared to earlier versions. However, some technical issues occasionally disrupt the overall immersive experience.

    • “Dynamic weather: the new weather systems are a massive step forward, adding a layer of atmosphere that was missing in previous iterations.”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is engaging and versatile, allowing players to use various devices—including unique controllers like farming simulator joysticks—which adds a fun and customizable element to the experience.

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users find the game's monetization somewhat misleading due to advertising on the store page, though some positive aspects are noted.

  • story

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story is impacted by persistent interaction bugs, starting from the tutorial mission, which disrupt immersion and hinder gameplay progression.
