If you're looking for an arcade-style bus simulator/company, buy Bus Simulator 21. Bus World, somehow or another, wound itself in the grey area between OMSI 2 and Bus Simulator 21. It's mundane, arcade-ish. But it has a rather weird score system, which I will cover next. The rather arbitrary score system and physics are far behind Bus Simulator 21, let alone OMSI 2. I mean, when your bus gets picked up by a tornado, you should land right into someone's house and totally ruining the bus. Don't know how or why its supposedly survivable in the game (and I got the achievement for driving through a tornado and surviving, much to my surprise). The score system doesn't say what actions results in penalties, resulting in some points being lost because I had no clue. The acceleration is quite poor, even by bus standards. The weight is more like driving an overloaded truck with a woefully underpowered engine and a transmission that takes two business days to change gears. And the sounds, good grief, it makes my ears want to plead for mercy. It has no soul whatsoever. Graphics, on the surface, it looks okay, but when the rain hits, it looks a lot worse. The rain looks more like a sticky, translucent fluid that flows down the windows. It's overall okay-ish, but not very good in the rain. It's one of the games that I cannot genuinely recommend or not recommend. Unfortunately, Steam doesn't have a button that puts your recommendations between positive and negative. It's a game that would I highly not recommend buying at full price, and even at a steep discount, I encourage that you do your homework and decide if it's even worth the few dollars. For me, it's barely enough to earn a positive rating, but barely, and only at a steep discount.

Not a bad game for its price but optimization is on the floor.

My review is long, so you can skip it if you don't want to read a lot. There's going to be 3 sections, good, bad, and early to decide. Good: 1. The game is not a mere bus simulation game, you choose a bus, choose or create a route and build your transport company by spending the money you get from trips on buying new buses and increasing the size of your fleet. Your mission is not only to transport people to their desired destination, but also to save their lives, it just doesn’t copy other simulation games with plenty of them available to purchase. Buses in general look and sound exactly as what you expect from a bus that took the streets during the 80s, no Setra, no Man, no Scania, no electric buses, just the bus that smells fuel every time you step in. If you were born in 80s like me, you’ll know what I’m talking about. 2. All bus games, or at least, the ones I played, uses automatic transmission, despite many players calling on adding a manual transmission with an H-Shifter, devs’ response has always been “all buses today are automatic”. With Bus World, players’ voice has finally been heard and you have the chance to finally use your H-Shifter in a bus game, not only Euro or American Truck Simulator, and that makes sense because all old buses used manual transmission. 3. They way they designed the countryside in Prypiat was fabulous, amazing, the green fences surrounding the houses, the horrible roads that keep your head touching the bus ceiling, the bus stops that appear from nowhere, some people may think it’s the devs’ fault but in reality it’s exactly as it looks like in the game. I’m not Ukrainian but I lived in Ukraine, and only Ukrainians or those who lived in Ukraine or the Russian countryside can design the countryside in this game because green fences existed, and even today they still exist, mostly, if not only, in the countryside since most people there live in houses not flats like in the city. If you’re non of these 2, you can’t design such a countryside by simply searching Google images. You’ve got to physically be and live there, and that’s what keeps me playing Free mode around Prypiat. Bad: 1. Unlocking scenarios, in order to unlock one scenario in Prypiat, you’ve got to play a scenario in Southern China, I can’t understand the logic here. Devs may think that each mission teaches you new skills, but these skills can be acquired without travelling to the edge of the globe, I found that really annoying and unreasonable. 2. Some missions I played, especially in China, can’t be finished, you reach a point where you’ve done everything and you just can’t finish the mission, then you try for one last time, doing exactly as you did in the last 200 attempts and suddenly, you pass the mission, why and how? No clue. I did that with most missions in the game but got stuck at one mission, the night tornado mission, which I still haven’t passed even after watching many Youtube videos and doing exactly what they did, no good. 3.The auto save doesn’t exist, if for some reason you fail at one point, you have to play the mission from the very beginning. In the Red Forest mission, I had only one radiation spot left to find, but, I passed out because of the radiation and I had to start the game from the very beginning. There’s no “last checkpoint” in the scenario, only in free mode. 4. IMPORTANT: if you ask any player who plays games like buses games, or trucks, or farming, or any other simulation and simulation like games, what’s the main reason? It’s to relax and enjoy. The question here, how can I relax and enjoy if in order to get all buses I have to go through nuclear disasters and natural disasters and repeat each mission more than 5 times and get stuck at some of them? How can I enjoy and relax after that? Maybe after destroying my wheel, which I didn’t buy cheap by the way. In free mode, gaining XP is like eyes drops, one drop each 6 hours. The moment you reach a point when you’ve unlocked everything is the moment you’ve already had enough of the game and you want to uninstall it to free some space for another game. XP system really needs to be worked on or at least, add a sandbox mode where everything is unlocked or an economy mode when you have to earn money to buy a new bus, in other words, a simulation mode. 5. This game looks like a remaster of its precedent, Bus Driver Simulator 2019, developed by the same team. They made some improvements and added scenarios, so if you played that game you won’t find it difficult learning the basics of this game. Early to decide: 1. Like all games, even the triple A games, there are some minor bugs, and it’s normal, they don’t kill the game. 2. There are only 3 scenarios and a limited option of buses, and that’s also OK since the game, despite fully released and no longer in early access stage, is still young, so I expect more areas to be added to the game, for example, in some today’s cities, and here I’m not talking about the beautiful shiny streets of Europe, no, I’m talking about modern era but with some no too developed countryside. One last point, I’d like to see more wheel support in future updates and patches. Final verdict: if you love buses games and love to drive old buses with manual transmission and you have the wheel with the clutch, this game is for you. If you love racing games and speed, stay away, it’s not for you. If you like to play some scenarios beyond the daily duties of a bus driver, this game is for you. If you only tend to drive an old bus peacefully, this game MIGHT be for you in the future if the devs add a sandbox or economy mode. If you have the patience to play for long hours to get few XP points every time you finish a route, so this game is for you. My personal decision, I like the game and I enjoy it, but would enjoy it much more if previously mentioned points are dealt with, precisely, the modes.

A really cool game with great scenarios and great difficulties. There is one annoying achievement because it would take several hours of just plainly drive around. Apart from that a really cool and detailed game with great stories. I can really highly recommend it.
