[h1] Мог получиться шикарный автобусный симулятор, но не довели до ума оптимизацию и не добавили русский перевод [/h1] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3753478940 В целом было сюрпризом увидеть, что с игрового пульта всё управляется нормально. Обучение очень поверхностное и очень по капиталистически - вот тебе базовые навыки, водительское есть, садись и едь работать. Ну такое отношение как-то не по трудовому кодексу. Хорошо, что хоть автобус новый. Хотелось бы хоть немного разъяснения по правилам. А то иногда бывает так, что вместе со мной поворачивают автомобили из соседнего ряда и виноват всё равно автобус, если задел выносом. А вынос здесь нормальный. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3753470534 Не хватает постепенно роста сложности, когда в начале могли бы дать микроавтобус. Ведь маленький автобус дешевле и проще в плане управления. Людей же возить на нём легче. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3753522640 Ну и самое главное - здесь нет русского перевода. Хотя могли бы сделать. В качестве бюджетного симулятора вполне мог бы сгодиться даже среди русских игроков, потому что некоторые водители здесь даже базовые требования из этого симулятора не соблюдают. Добавить русский перевод и пусть учатся здесь. Тем более сегодняшний прогресс вполне позволяет сделать перевод без особых затрат. Также здесь беда со звуком. Может где-то сработать сигнализация, а где-то скорая как будто, но на игре вообще не отображается. Смотришь по сторонам и никакого интерактива. Так что окружение здесь бедное. Просто записали городских звуков для фона, а окружение не сделали. В результате эти сигналки как будто в ухо орут и непонятно - отдаляешься или приближаешься к ним. Из плюшек же не хватает карточек для оформления профиля, хотя карточки наверняка могли бы сделать. По итогу могла бы получиться конфетка. Нужно лишь немного подшливовать и посадить сюда некоторых водил, чтобы учились спокойно ездить. Штрафует игра всё же чётко за основные моменты. Пока же без русского перевода сложно рекомендовать. Оптимизация тоже слабая - железо подходит под максимальные, но выдаёт на максималках от силы 20 кадров. [h1] Но в плюсах можно отметить [/h1] + Вполне неплохую графику даже на средних, на минималках даже лучше не пробовать из-за плохого отображения в зеркалах заднего вида. Там просто статичная картинка. + Есть несколько стран. 3, но всё же. + Очень приятно слушать объявления станций. Это кайф, очень приятный голос. Такой бы на русском. + Физика управления чуть хуже ETS2, но всё же ездит корректно. + Хоть какое минимальное, но есть обучение и прокачка. + Здесь есть электробусы, водить которые даже в виртуальности приятно.
Bus Driving Sim 22 is a mid-scale vehicle simulation that aims to capture the everyday realities of professional bus driving while remaining accessible to a broad audience. Rather than presenting bus operation as a purely mechanical challenge, the game emphasizes routine, responsibility, and spatial awareness, placing players in large urban environments where success depends on smooth driving, adherence to traffic rules, and consistent passenger service. Its ambition lies not in hyper-technical depth, but in offering a believable sense of what it feels like to operate large public transport vehicles across varied cityscapes. One of the game’s defining strengths is its geographic variety. Players can drive routes inspired by major real-world locations such as Los Angeles, Munich, and Rio de Janeiro, each offering different road layouts, traffic densities, and visual atmospheres. These environments help prevent the experience from becoming monotonous, as wide American roads, structured European streets, and more chaotic urban traffic all demand slightly different driving approaches. While the cities are not perfect replicas, they are expansive enough to create the feeling of navigating living urban spaces rather than confined tracks. Driving itself leans toward realism without becoming overwhelming. Bus handling reflects vehicle weight, braking distance, and turning radius in a way that encourages careful planning rather than aggressive maneuvering. Large buses feel cumbersome in tight spaces, rewarding patience and steady control, while smaller or lighter vehicles are more forgiving. Sound design supports this immersion with engine noise, environmental ambience, and subtle passenger audio that reinforces the idea of carrying real people rather than empty cargo. The simulation does not reach the complexity of hardcore transport simulators, but it strikes a middle ground that many players find approachable. Gameplay modes offer flexibility in how the experience is enjoyed. Career mode provides structure through scheduled routes, passenger pickups, and progression toward unlocking new vehicles. This mode appeals to players who enjoy routine and incremental advancement. Freeride mode removes objectives entirely, allowing players to explore the cities at their own pace, while multiplayer introduces a social element that transforms the game into a shared driving experience. These options ensure the game can function both as a relaxed driving sandbox and as a goal-oriented simulation. Vehicle variety adds another layer of interest. The game includes multiple bus types, from traditional diesel models to electric buses and even a school bus, each with its own handling characteristics. Differences may be subtle, but they are noticeable enough to encourage adaptation. Steam Workshop support extends this variety further, allowing players to experiment with community-created buses and content, which helps compensate for the relatively modest base vehicle roster. Where Bus Driving Sim 22 struggles is polish and depth. Traffic AI can behave inconsistently, occasionally breaking immersion with odd lane changes or unpredictable stops. Visual quality is uneven across environments, with some areas feeling convincingly detailed and others noticeably sparse. Control customization, particularly for steering wheel users, lacks the fine-tuning options expected by more serious simulation enthusiasts, which can lead to frustration during precise maneuvers. These shortcomings are frequently cited by players and contribute to the game’s mixed overall reception. Despite these issues, the core experience remains appealing for a specific audience. Players who enjoy slow, methodical driving and route-based gameplay often appreciate the game’s calm pacing and large-scale environments. The day–night cycle and weather systems add variety to repeated routes, subtly changing visibility and atmosphere without drastically altering gameplay. While advanced systems like complex scheduling, passenger satisfaction metrics, or deep fleet management are absent, the simplicity keeps the focus firmly on driving itself. Ultimately, Bus Driving Sim 22 is best understood as an accessible bus simulation rather than a definitive or hardcore entry in the genre. It delivers a solid sense of scale, believable vehicle handling, and multiple ways to play, even if it falls short in refinement and advanced mechanics. For players looking to relax behind the wheel, explore large cities, and experience the routine of public transport driving without excessive complexity, it offers a satisfying, if imperfect, simulation that fulfills its core promise. Rating: 6/10
На скринах выглядит гораздо лучше. В реальности все не так - нет теней во время дождя и ночью, нет нормальных отражений. Но самое главное, она тормозит на RTX 4070 в 2к разрешении. Пришлось вернуть деньги за игру, ведь по мнению разработчика играть на ультрах я не могу - слишком слабая видеокарта. Так что поднакоплю на RTX 5090 и вернусь.
graphics are bad, gameplay is bad, just can't get one with this game vids made it look better then what it is
Calling this game a Simulator is hilarious. For $4 it's acceptable but paying full price for this game is just silly. The driving controls are unlike any other driving game out there, and not in a good way. When you press the turn key to slightly turn your bus it ends up driving over the curb, and when you steer the other way it sends you into oncoming traffic. Felt like I was playing ping pong trying to keep this bus in it's lane. Not to mention the game graphics straight up look like something out of the 90's. This plays more like an arcade game you'd spend 25c to play at a chuck e cheese, not a $25 game that calls itself " the defining bus simulator for PC " (Massively simplifying my feelings about this game btw, left out several other issues this game has.)
terrible game unplayable don't waste you're money
This game was horrible. I get docked for points when I'm doing nothing wrong, the bus drives terrible, and the graphics don't look that great either. The game just needs work all around.
jogo muito divertido, adoro as rotas do brasil entao o interior do brasil é muito divertido e da mais pica para conduzir caminhos muito estreitos.. recomendo mesmo ainda nao experimentei o multplayer e pelo o que vi da para criar uma sala privada(parecido ao comboio do ETS2)
Игра норм) жалко разрабы забили!!! модов на автобусы и карт нету, как в омси2)))
I recommend this game but there are some flaws. Not all is good like the performance and glitches. And some rules you easy forget like blinking left to left the lane and then again blinking left while they automatic turning off so that's a fee LOL But I like that you have different buses in different cities and around!
