I love this game! I get lost in time playing it, sometimes I even get off the buss and just start exploring around, the world and map are quite cool, its really fun, very addicting and if you ever wanted to drive a bus - this is your chance!!

Its a good game for younger folks I think. Its not as complicated as some bus games but it does drive well, has a large map and didnt have graphic problems. Its no Fernbus, but it does the job and its half the price. Your choice.

The game is good. Some little features are missing according to me, like employee management or more realism on shift or bus maintenance. Overall very few bugs and a clean game that's easy to understand and play :) Mod integration is great too.

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 : ★★★★☆

A bit of a learning curve over '18, particularly the routing and management, but after I got used to it in about 90 minutes, I think it's a much better game than '18 was. Things I don't like about '21: the pedestrians are wild. There could be pedestrians not even near a crosswalk, but as I'm driving through, a pedestrian darts out into the side of my bus, and I get fined and reset. Better map for sure, and the missions strike a good balance.
