While you’ve probably heard of the game by now, and have experience or an opinion of it, but if you haven’t had the chance to give it a go and like driving games with a bit more authenticity than using nitrous and racing with unicorns, check it out. For me, a lot of that fun comes from the customisations such as paint jobs, lights and horns, and decking out the dashboard with nodding dogs and half-eaten sandwiches. Sure there are a few shortcuts here and there, but it’s a game at the end of the day and needs to be fun.
EURO TRUCK SIMULATOR 2 DRIVER RATING SIMULATOR
Source: Screen captureīesides the meat and potatoes of driving and the rather tricky reverse parking, Euro Truck Simulator 2 has so many features and settings, making this the ultimate truck management game. There’s the option to get bank loans, but as in real life, Euro Truck Simulator 2 hits the nail on the head and replicates the borrowing process perfectly: you borrow more to pay off the previous debt and end up living in your overdraft. On top of that, while the pay is good, paying staff and maintaining the vehicles and regularly fuelling them can be costly. It’s far from easy as you can still crash, turn up late and so on. I’ve experimented with the settings (cheated) and turned off speed limits, allowing me to do 85mph with fragile goods on board. It can be overwhelming and depending on how serious you take it, spoil the fun. A slight tap into another car, central reservation, or underestimating a curb and rolling your goods is a possibility, but the most common risks are speeding fines, traffic offences, running out of fuel and fatigue. Using your own truck or from the quick job menu, whatever the employer provides for you, you either drive to the pick-up point or fast travel, load up the trailer and away you go. I’m not sure how accurate the maps are, but they’re pretty epic nevertheless. I’ve driven some of these roads IRL, and while you aren’t pointing at all the landmarks, there’s a clear difference logistically.
If you aren’t familiar with Euro Truck Simulator 2, you essentially work as an HGV driver delivering numerous goods throughout Europe. 20+ hours and I’ve covered the UK and most of the Nordic regions, unlocking my own fleet and earning a tidy penny. However, After watching a few Limmy streams, I thought I’d give it a go as it was on sale.
This title from SCS has shown up on my Twitter feeds and YouTube compilations, but I’ve always been snobby about it, thinking that I couldn’t find one single reason for playing it. Yeah, I’m well aware it’s from 2012, but I’m not allowed to write about games from a while back?
How come they’re so good then? This little write-up is about a certain Euro Truck Simulator 2. There’s a simulator for everything these days, and they sound moronic the more I hear about them. It won’t be long until there is a Watch Paint Dry Simulator.
