Visually-stunningĪll in all, Bus Simulator 21 is an exciting improvement over Bus Simulator 18. The choice between single and multiplayer modes returns here, as well as the Modding Kit, but the game can run pretty slow due to the high graphics performance. You can also simply automate this and just enjoy driving, which is much faster now with fast travel. The first map is a new fictional American city called Angel Shores, while the second map is the revamped version of the European Seaside Valley map from the previous game.Īside from driving the buses yourself, you can handle your bus’ management elements yourself-such as creating timetables and planning efficient routes during peak passenger hours. Plus, a fleet of 30 officially licensed buses by well-known international manufacturers-such as Blue Bird, Grande West, and Alexander Dennis-are now available in the game. Here, you can now drive double-decker buses and electric buses or e-buses.
However, the real catches to this installment are the two open-world maps and the two new bus types. The 3D models are hyper-realistic-and in Bus Simulator 21, this is heightened even more by the new dynamic weather, day-night cycle, and revised traffic and pedestrian AI.
When it comes to performance and graphics, the Bus Simulator franchise is still one of the best due to the power of Unreal Engine 4.
