Fernbus Simulator

Fernbus Simulator is a long-haul coach driving game, and the appeal sits almost entirely in the routine of keeping a big bus on schedule. By our assessment, it gets the ordinary details right: lane changes, stops, passengers, and the slow stretch of road between them. That same realism is also the limit, because the game is about patient driving, not drama, and it can feel repetitive very quickly. In practice it is a lot of straight roads, timetable pressure, and watching the route unfold one segment at a time. Compared with truck sims, it narrows the fantasy to passenger transport, which makes it more specific and less varied. Fernbus Simulator suits people who enjoy transport sims for the act of driving itself, and it asks for a steady mood more than excitement.
