Euro Truck Simulator 2 review

Exceptional

by xNo0ne

After almost 1450 Hours of Play, it's time for my Review, my first Review ever. Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a very good Game, but Simulation I wouldn't call it anyway. Don't Get me wrong, I really like this Game a lot, it offers the Player the opportunity to set up their own Transport Company, to hire Drivers, to buy new TRUCKS and Locations, you have to Get at driving And rest Times and Speed Buries But ETS2 is definitely not enough for a Simulation. For this, I personally lack the Possibility, for example, to have my own trailer trailer, to have it always saddle-t/connected and to transport the various Loads that can be downloaded into my Trailer. It would also be Nice if you could also move outside your TRUCK in order, for example, to be able to unload and Unload yourself or to carry Out downhill Conscriptions and small Repairs. Even his employed Drivers with their TRUCKS are not met on the way, random Disabilities due to Construction Sites or Accidents are also searched in vain. There is no (official) Multiplayer, just a Project of Non-SCS Employees, but there you are alone with all the other Players and their TRUCK, there is no AI traffic there. And that kills the Atmosphere in my Eyes. The List is long, but the Developers at SCS are very much into feedback from the big Comunity when Developing ETS2. Therefore, I would currently call Euro Truck Simulator 2 more "Euro Truck Driving 2." But what is not can still become ... Since Its release, the Developers of SCS have been constantly improving, for example through regular Patches, but also through new Licenses for the Fleet. All the major European Manufacturers are represented. A Manufacturer of Trailers is now also represented by its own paid DLC, with others to follow. The game has also been steadily expanded since its release, thanks to new Trailers or Orders to new Tuning and Painting, to Extensions of the Route network, which is now reflected in the Scandinavia with Denmark, Sweden and Norway stretches through Germany and BeNeLux, Poland and the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, France and now recently all over Italy. Two recently published, also paid DLCs for Heavy transport have brought new Challenges in addition To new Trailers: Once indirectly through improved simulation of charge weights and steerable Axes on Trailers, and Right through the new Special Transports. And I'm talking about really special Assignments. This involves transporting oversized and very heavy Loads via fixed routes monitored by the Police, always accompanied by two BF2 or BF3 Vehicles. That was something I personally waited a long time for. So Far, so good. In my Opinion, the best thing on the whole is, however, the Possibility to expand the Game even further and above all to your own Liking With its own Modifications, whether by own Paint schemes for the Train Rails and the Trailer over Tuning parts, completely new Models for TRUCKS And Trailer To the completely revised and expanded Game world. The Possibilities of Modifying the Game through Mods are almost limitless, because you need little to no Prior knowledge in the Field of Modding. SCS has made ETS2 very "modding-friendly," there are its own Tools for Creating Mods, installation is easy and there is a very extensive Workshop here on Steam additional to the many Hosting Websites for Mods outside Steam. In Summary, the Euro Truck Simulator 2 offers a high long-term Motivation, not least thanks to the DLCs and The Modifications. But ETS2 is ALSO interesting for Casual Gamers. Some claim to even be able to relax while Playing ... For the Future, I would like to see a Multiplayer developed by SCS, as it is available with agricultural Simulator, for example. Clear Buy recommendation, 10/10.
