Introduction : Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop est le simulateur de conduite d'autobus développé par stillalive studios et édité par astragon Entertainment, sorti en 2021 puis enrichi par la mise à jour gratuite Next Stop en 2023. On y prend le volant de bus sous licences officielles (Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Scania…) pour assurer des lignes dans deux grandes villes ouvertes, gérer sa propre compagnie et transporter ses passagers à l'heure. Le concept : vivre le quotidien complet d'un conducteur, du respect des horaires jusqu'à la gestion d'entreprise. Ce que j'ai aimé : [*]🚍 La conduite est étonnamment immersive : physique des bus bien fichue, gestion des feux, ouverture des portes, rampes pour les fauteuils, contrôle des tickets et chasse aux fraudeurs. Tous ces petits gestes du métier donnent une vraie sensation de boulot accompli. [*]🏙️ Les deux villes ouvertes offrent un beau terrain de jeu, avec un trafic et une circulation qui demandent de l'attention. On enchaîne les arrêts dans une ambiance qui sait se faire relaxante quand on cherche juste à décompresser. [*]🏢 La couche gestion ajoute une vraie profondeur : tracer ses lignes, recruter, optimiser sa flotte et faire tourner sa compagnie transforme le simple simulateur en jeu de tycoon prenant pour qui accroche. [*]🔧 Le suivi post-lancement est généreux : la mise à jour Next Stop a corrigé pas mal de choses et amélioré l'IA et le gameplay sans rien faire payer, ce qui montre un studio à l'écoute de sa communauté. Ce que j'ai moins aimé : [*]🧱 Les villes sont grandes mais génériques : textures peu détaillées et décors qui se répètent, on est loin du niveau de finition qu'on attendrait d'un titre moderne. [*]🐛 Les bugs restent trop présents : certains pans du jeu accumulent les soucis techniques, et il n'est pas rare qu'un trajet soit gâché par un comportement absurde de l'IA ou un pépin de script. [*]🐌 Le rythme peut rebuter : le gameplay est tellement procédurier qu'il devient parfois l'ennemi du fun. Les amateurs de sensations rapides risquent de trouver le tout lent et répétitif. Conclusion : Bus Simulator 21 Next Stop est un simulateur honnête qui assume pleinement son créneau de niche. Avec les heures que j'y ai passées, j'y ai trouvé ce plaisir bizarrement apaisant de boucler ses lignes au millimètre, porté par une conduite riche en détails et une vraie dimension gestion. Les villes ternes, les bugs persistants et le rythme lent l'empêchent de viser plus haut, mais ces défauts pèsent peu si on aime les simulations poussées et réalistes. Pour les amateurs du genre qui cherchent à gérer leur compagnie de bus au calme, c'est une valeur sûre. Recommandé. Note : ★★★★☆

Very much enjoy this game so far. I prefer the European map, as it seems more like a real large town/small city, than the USA map. Just be sure to do the annoying introduction tutorial for the USA map on story mode to unlock it. I made the mistake of diving into a career mode first, then realising I had to drag myself through the introduction from a story/campaign mode I have no interest in to play the better map I had bought with my purchase (it included DLC). The game itself is very satisfying, I've really enjoyed my very long mundane bus routes, the cathartic release is great. So relaxing and satisfying. I am generally new to the bus simulator genre, but this seems like a great place to start. It has good immersion and you can adjust controls from pure automatic/convenience features to making life much more complex with turning convenience stuff off and controlling gears. The traffic is quite busy at points too, which is cool. The AI is decent, but you will have some silly moments with it. It is a very beautiful game. I only wish we had significantly larger maps to make the game more realistic, but the maps themselves do provide a lot as is. I am looking forward to the BS27 coming out later. Anyone wanting to get into bus sims, this is a good purchase. Also, I play with the Thrustmaster 248, but also played for a bit on keyboard and did have a great time. Hugely better with a wheel, though.

The residents are for some reason very suicidal and they keep running in front of the buses, they also think about tram seats quite often while on a bus
