Bus Simulator 16 Critic Reviews

Overall, it just exudes an overall lack of polish and detail, which, unfortunately, detracts from the few new features the game touts over other bus driving games and falls short on its ‘simulation’ aspect.

It's surely a niche game, but the graphics are so bad that the immersion gets completely spoiled.

Bus Simulator 16 is a disaster. Not only the optimisation is very poor, but the core gameplay is flawed and thus we do not recommend to play this game.

It fails to accomplish what its own title states: the simulation. Everything is organized so snaky and complex, that what emerges is a chaotic situation that bothers the player too much. Even so, it lays the sufficient groundwork for a future launch of a more mature game.

There are some interesting ideas, but the simulation can't keep up with its own claims of being a job simulation.

Although driving around a fantasy town and reaching the stops in time is pretty relaxing, the same thing goes for a sleeping pill. The clumsy controls, lack of depth and extreme repetitiveness make Bus Simulator 16 a game that simply should not have been made.

What completely spoils the game is its absolutely disastrous driving model. You’re not driving in Bus Simulator 16, you’re sliding unable to get the feel of the vehicles’ weight and dimensions. It’s a chore, not a pleasure.

Bus Simulator 16 is a lifeless, soulless lie of a simulator; and I use the term ‘simulator’ in the loosest possible way. The buses handle like jumbo jets and the business management side of things is a complete joke.
