βThe graphics are outstanding.β
βVery realistic for a trucking game, great graphics and camera angle shots are great.β
βThis game has the best graphics on the play store.... best simulator for truck so far have arrow button for driving as well.β
βThe graphics for the exterior of the vehicle can definitely be better; it looks too flat.β
βA lack of graphic optimization; I run a pretty beefy phone yet it still lags at medium graphics.β
βThe game is very good but the optimization is too bad; my phone has a Snapdragon 865 CPU but the game is unplayable in ultra graphics.β

The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over ads appearing during critical moments, such as while driving or completing missions, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, users note that the game increasingly requires watching ads to perform basic actions, such as sending drivers to work, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes ad revenue over player enjoyment.
βI actually don't have a problem with the game; it's only online unfortunately; though free, few if any in-app purchases, realistic smooth gameplay, lots of routes and varieties of locations, many American and European trucks, nice trailers, great graphics, and customization!β
βIt's good, no advertisements.β
βItβs a fun game and itβs so realistic plus no ads.β
βThis game has way too many ads. I've now waited for days for a response from the developers after claiming that I have cheated. It just goes to show they don't care about the game anymore or the players' concerns. They should maybe call this game 'Ad Simulator Ultimate' since all you do most of the time is watching ads.β
βThe game is good but the ads are irritating while driving. The gear stops working suddenly and some ads cannot be closed. This is irritating after 'save and exit' when I return to the game, the truck goes into the void. This occurs after this update.β
βThe game is nice, but the ads are overwhelming. You can't even touch any buttons without being interrupted by ads, which makes it impossible to enjoy the gameplay.β

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and freezing issues that significantly hinder gameplay. Many players express frustration over problems such as trucks floating in the air, inability to complete missions, and excessive ads interrupting their experience. Despite the game's enjoyable aspects, the overwhelming number of bugs and technical issues has led to a decline in user satisfaction and ratings.
βThis is an excellent game, good graphics, no glitches or bugs. The game is working properly, and I am happy with this.β
βThis is the best game I've ever played. There are no bugs, no glitches; it's just awesome! I hope you guys make better games in the future.β
βIt's very nice, no glitches, just straightforward driving and fun.β
βAmazing fun game but fix the glitches please. Can't pause the game and come back because my truck will be floating in the air. Can't go through a police checkpoint without having to close out a bunch of times, and half of the time my truck still won't go.β
βThis new update has ruined the game. It has glitches and a lot of bugs. I used to play this game without making any damage while I'm driving, so please you better fix this issue.β
βGame freezes when driving and also when I placed a bid for a truck, it didn't return my money when I lost the bid, so it stole 90k from me.β

The game's story and mission structure are marred by numerous technical issues, including frequent glitches that cause mission failures and disrupt gameplay. Players express frustration over the excessive number of ads, which interrupt missions and detract from the overall experience. While the game has potential with its realistic graphics and diverse missions, the current state is plagued by bugs and repetitive content, leading to a disappointing narrative experience.
βThe premise of this game certainly is good and definitely an upgrade over its predecessor, but right now it has too many serious bugs to deserve recommendation, including: un-completable missions (parking space refuses to recognize you've parked resulting in a half-hour journey completely wasted), manual-shifting gears often stuck halfway, AI cars not recognizing that you've legit stopped at a red light and keep ramming your back.β
βI love the game, good graphics (pedestrians' headlights don't appear in the mirror most of the time even in night mode that's the only issue) loads of missions to do and choose from lots of different things to do including truck racing.β
βCompletely realistic missions and Euro Truck Simulator and American Truck Simulator experience are waiting for you.β
βThe game was good, but now it's completely annoying. If you want to do anything, you have to watch an ad. Even if you watch one ad to get double money, afterwards they just throw another ad in your face anyway. It's very frustrating, especially when I send a driver on a mission and they come back with a message saying I changed the time and tried to cheat, even if I didn't, and I don't get paid for the job.β
βIt was a great game, quite realistic with good trucks and realistic interiors. However, after the latest update, suddenly ads appear in the middle of driving on a mission, completely ruining the game and the experience. This is definitely a backwards step!β
βI like the game; all things are realistic as they should be, and the mods feature is awesome. But my low rating is because whenever I start a mission and save the game to play later, when I want to resume the mission, my truck flies in the sky and it says mission failed. Please fix this issue.β

The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its smooth mechanics and immersive experience, with many users appreciating the graphics and realism. However, frequent ads interrupt the gameplay, leading to frustration among players, and there are calls for improvements in performance, bug fixes, and the addition of new locations and features to enhance the overall experience. While some users find the gameplay enjoyable, issues like repetitive environments, high battery consumption, and glitches detract from the experience for others.
βThe gameplay is very immersive and enjoyable.β
βAbsolutely breathtaking scenery and gameplay.β
βGameplay is awesome like bus simulator, but the problem is that the game sometimes crashes while driving, and it can get annoying.β
βTotally ruins the gameplay by starting after almost every action.β
βThe worst thing that you could do after the update is playing ads in between the gameplay... worst thing faced... 20 ads in 30 mins game stretch... uninstalling now... it was a great game earlier.... but you guys made it worse including these ads in the game.β
βToo many ads, you will spend more time watching non-skippable ads than actual gameplay.β

The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the inclusion of real songs and radio features, but expressing frustration over the inability to add personal music or customize playlists. Many users report issues with the in-game radio not functioning properly, and there are requests for a broader selection of songs, including regional music options. Overall, while the music enhances the gaming experience, significant improvements are needed to allow for more user control and variety.
βThe Zuuks radio is another great feature because it plays real music.β
βAbsolutely loving the game and the truck's radio plays awesome songs.β
βVery fun game and not only that but the music choice is top notch; y'all did absolutely awesome on the game overall.β
βIn the last 2 weeks, the in-game radio/music is not working.β
βWhen I turn on the radio, it keeps searching and we can't get music.β
βThere is still a problem though; when you play the radio, the music stops probably to avoid copyright.β

The game's optimization has received widespread criticism, with many users reporting significant performance issues, including frequent lags, frame drops, and unresponsive controls, even on high-end devices.

βPretty enjoyable if optimized.β
βGreat game, no bugs, it runs smoothly.β
βThank you for optimizations for low-end devices that have been made.β
βGame performance needs a lot of improvements and fixes.β
βFrequent lags, which get worse each time I open the game, a number of bugs, no optimization, it just feels like the game is getting worse and worse.β
βThe game is very good but the optimization is too bad; my phone has a Snapdragon 865 CPU but the game is unplayable in ultra graphics.β

Players find humor in the game's quirky moments, such as trucks falling into nothingness and the erratic behavior of AI vehicles that ignore traffic signs. While the gameplay is enjoyable, users suggest adding more comedic elements and funny scenes to enhance the overall experience. The humor often emerges from unexpected situations, making the game entertaining despite some technical flaws.
βSometimes, the road disappears and the truck falls into absolute nothingness. It's kind of funny, but I have to save and exit the game, then I try to 'find' the road again.β
βThe AI vehicles are hilarious; they don't follow signs, and this is the biggest problem. Make the AI vehicle's physics better!β
βThe funny thing that needs to be fixed in the future is to make sure that your game must have an exit tab! ππππβ

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, citing it as tedious and time-consuming, leading some to uninstall. While the game is praised for its graphics and controls, many feel that the high costs of new trucks necessitate excessive grinding, suggesting that adjustments to make progression smoother would enhance the experience.
βIt is so frustratingly tedious that I decided to uninstall the game.β
βYou need to keep playing for so long to get new trucks because they cost around 100k-300k. At least make grinding easier.β

The game's atmosphere is praised for its quality, but technical issues detract from the experience, as players report problems with disappearing environments that lead to gameplay disruptions. Additionally, concerns about slow steering mechanics further impact the overall immersion.
βNice and best atmosphere, but please fix the steering; it moves so slow!β
βThis game is the worst; after driving for a minute, the road and surroundings disappear, causing the truck to fall into the atmosphere. After restarting, the game fixes it, but it happens again after a while.β
βThe atmosphere feels empty and lifeless, making it hard to immerse myself in the game.β
βI expected a rich environment, but the lack of detail and interaction makes the atmosphere feel flat and uninviting.β
