The story in the game is centered around completing missions for various NPCs, allowing players to engage with their personal narratives and develop a deeper connection with them. While some players find it reminiscent of Euro Truck Simulator 2, they emphasize that the focus on quests and character interactions sets it apart. Although some reviewers have not fully experienced the story yet, they express enthusiasm for its intriguing start and potential depth.
“I've enjoyed driving around doing the missions for the different NPCs and progressing their small stories.”
“Lots of people negatively compare it to Euro Truck Simulator 2, but it's really not the same idea. Many of your hours spent with Truck Driver are completing quests for shippers and learning more about them as people.”
“The story is a nice touch, but I can't say much on that part at the moment because I've not played for very long, so I've not experienced the full story. However, it's off to a very interesting start.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their high detail and quality, particularly in the map design, which is reminiscent of Euro Truck Simulator 2 from 2015. However, some users feel that there is room for improvement in overall graphics and physics, suggesting that enhancements could elevate the experience further.
“The map graphics are very good and it feels very close to ETS2 from 2015, and the driving feels smooth enough with the keyboard.”
“This is a great game, the graphics are highly detailed and the controls work well. Yes, it has a few minor flaws like the vehicle's speed; it is rapid for a truck, but I have only driven one so far, so it may get better.”
“Nice graphics.”
“The game has the potential to be good, but the graphics need significant improvement. The overall physics are not even close to what they should be.”
“The graphics are lacking and could definitely be better. There is a lot of room for improvement in this area.”

The gameplay in SCS titles initially appears to focus on a simplistic pick-and-drop style, but deeper exploration reveals more complex mechanics and engaging content. Players are encouraged to delve into the game to fully appreciate its depth and variety.
“There's not much of the impersonal pick and drop style gameplay that SCS titles revolve around until you delve more into the game.”

The game has been widely criticized for its severe stability issues, with users reporting frequent crashes and bugs that prevent it from starting or functioning properly. Overall, players strongly advise against purchasing it due to these persistent problems.
“Absolutely horrible game, not recommended. It doesn't start, and if it does, it crashes the PC. It's buggy as anything. I wouldn't recommend this game; it's a complete waste of money. Do not buy it!”
