I’ve been waiting for a good bus game for so long and I think this could be the one ❤️ I love how you drive for likes instead of money too and the city just feels so buzzing and active. I can’t believe we get this game and InKonbini on the same day 😁🎉

    “Where does Bus Bound fall on the various scales of vehicle simulators?”
    It’s more fun that all the others I’ve tried.
    “Is it a complete accurate-to-the-last-decal vehicle simulation that in order to enjoy, you basically need a bus licence and a lifelong obsession with bus manufacturers?”
    No, but the buses look great and feel responsive and intuitive to drive.
    “Is it a casual bus driving game like what Euro Truck Simulator 2 is for lorries?”
    It’s more fun and instantly playable than ETS2 and takes itself a bit less seriously. Also, there aren’t a million, bajillion settings to tweak.
    “Does it have a management aspect, and if so, how deep does it go?”
    I’ve only scratched the surface of that. You develop bus routes and get more and more buses and the more you succeed in getting likes, the more the town itself changes and improves.
    “Is it particularly moddable?”
    It’s just come out so I don’t know.
    “Is it made for wheel-and-pedal players?”
    Ah, that I do know! It worked instantly with my Thrustmaster T248 wheel and pedals. The thing is I kind of prefer playing it with my keyboard. Not sure why…
