Pretty great game. The 1:1 scale map is very accurate, I drove past a hotel that I've visited. Sure there is lag every now and then, but what can you really expect from such a big and dense map? Even then, it's very infrequent. Honestly, I've been playing this for about 3 hours today and have encountered no bugs nor performance issues. It's a great game. Although, I am now starting to act like a Berliner outside of the game.. The only con is the physics, but as long as you drive responsibly then it won't be an issue. The graphics are great, the Berlin crazy driving is realistic, the map is great.. it's just honestly an amazing game.

Game is amazing but updates are just too slow and rather bad performance. I would give a neutral rating if it was a choice.

Its very good after the last update (beta) and DLSS does its job perfect regarding performance. The physics are pretty good and its a chill game with a lot of realism to it. Nice possibility to report bugs directly to the devs by pressing F1 which takes a screenshot where you can add a comment to let them now what happend. The devs seems invested in the game, even if it has taken a long time to get it to the current state. + Very good looking + Dynamic weather is amazing + Sounds + Realism + Good attention to details and the city feels alive, not flat and boring. + traffic vary from rush hour to late evenings + modding - There are a few bugs with the controllers and FFB (they are aware) - There is too many traffic lights - Not enough content, only one map included as for now and not so many buses - The routes are too generous on time, its better to be 2 min late than 2 min too early all the time. - The light in the game is sometimes waay to bright - price is too high, both for the game and DLC. Many of these things im sure will be worked on as the community gives feedback to the developers. Finally a real competitor for OMSI2.

The map is based on the city of Berlin looks quite good, though you certainly need to borrow NASA's computer if you want to run this on a high setting. Mind you, I'm running an RTX4060, and stuttering is still a problem. It's gotten better from the time I bought it, but it won't go well on less powerful PCs. The bus models are pretty good, although some sounds are inaccurate for sure. Won't go into detail on that, because if I did, it would end up being a rant rather than a proper review. Exterior modelling does the buses justice, though the lack of branding may throw one off. Not to worry, the modding community has you covered on that. Driving is probably easier than James May sitting there, though not doing what he said on Top Gear. Jokes aside, it doesn't handle like a car (obviously). Physics-wise, it handles like a yellow brick on wheels. Drive slow and you will be fine. Is it worth the price? A bit tough to say. It's a love-hate relationship with the problems and the enjoyment of this game. So I would say you should go for it if you have money to spare.
