Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But for the first 8 hours of gameplay i enjoyed the game, exploring the city was great, although i feel its way too easy to upgrade districts, they dont stay unupgraded for long enough for the upgrades to feel different enough.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With my specs i had around 45fps on maximum graphics with hardware raytracing enabled at 3440x1440.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This works really well with a controller - I don't have a wheel so can't comment on that, but this is something that's prevented me from enjoying other bus sims as much, so great to see that they have nailed the feeling of driving a bus using a controller.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Still, you can turn on and off the various difficulty items, so it's good for everyone.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.

I’ve yet to unlock them all, but so far the sound effects are really nice.
