Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
- Graphics look good (slightly better than ATS, ETS2).
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Management gameplay was developed, clearly at the expense of simulation gameplay - but not enough to actually entertain, just enough to be annoying.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
The physics is on par with the early days of ETS2, but you can also adjust the braking and thottle by their strength multiplayer, curve, and deadzone.
