- “This game has gorgeous graphics whilst still being good to the frames, it has keyboard and gamepad compatibility with the left joystick being the only control on the gamepad.”

- “I was gifted this by a friend for Christmas; he thought he was going to be funny.”

- “At first, I thought it was just another cash grab at the success of Euro Truck Simulator 2... oh how I was wrong!”
