Awix (3310 KP) rated the PC version of Euro Truck Simulator 2 in Video Games

Oct 29, 2019

Lorry-driving sim sounds like a joke, but then you try it just to see what it's like. 130 hours later you find yourself managing half-a-dozen garages across Europe with two or three times as many drivers working for you, while you simultaneously worry about getting a load of cement from Birmingham to Dusseldorf on time. The combination of driving, business management, and strategy/RP really does exert a peculiar attraction.

A big time sink, obviously, but not quite as easy as it sounds: the trucks are not easy to control on some of the roads, and every time you ding your rig or some idiot drives into the back of you it costs you money and can reduce your profit. Much of the time you can still relax and enjoy the beautifully rendered environment of the game - countries really do look different, although famous landmarks are a bit thin on the ground. Possibly not where the kids are at, but still a weirdly relaxing and absorbing experience.

Bluffing and Bribing are encouraged in this game. It's how you win and learn who your real friends are. Are they lying about bribing you with a free contraband if you don't check their bag? Is it really in their bag? Should you take it or check them anyway? Such a hard choice.
Make and lose friends in this game which is sure to become a classic as it grows in popularity with your group. My and my friends love it! There is deffinently some strategy in there as to what to bring to market and when but there is also a bit if luck as to whether you will get checked or not. Either way the game is a blast and I recommend it to any group as it plays a decent size group.
