Bus Simulator 21: Next Stop
Release Date: September 7, 2021
Bus Simulator 21 is another installment of the well-known series of city bus simulators, which has been developed by astragon Entertainment company for years. The game offers a number of improvements and novelties compared to the previous part.
Bus Simulator 21 is another part of the simulator series, which allows players to drive city buses. The game offers a number of changes compared to the previous version (e.g. new vehicles and a second map). StillAlive studio is responsible for creating this game, which has also developed Bus Simulator 18. The publisher is astragon Entertainment.
In Bus Simulator 21, the player's main task is to drive city buses in accordance with the applicable traffic regulations, as well as taking care of schedule timeliness. We must also remember about the passengers (interact with them, sell tickets) and deal with all kinds of problems. The game offers new vehicles as well as two extensive maps. The first one is a revamped version of the city of Seaside Valley, modelled on the European metropolises (referred to as the extended version known from the add-on). The second, the city of Angel Shores, is new and inspired by San Francisco.
However, the role of the driver is not everything - in addition, the player also manages the company. Also in this respect, improvements have been made to the game mechanics - we can, for example, shape extensive timetables and routes for our bus fleet (we should take into account the number of passengers). Importantly, users who do not want to do this kind of thing and prefer to drive can rely on an AI assistant to take over from them.
The developers have also improved the systems responsible for the mobility of pedestrians in the city and the weather. The game also offers a fast travel system, the ability to speed up time and the option to immediately take over any bus driven by artificial intelligence - we can sit at the wheel at any time.
We can play Bus Simulator 21 alone or with others. The core of the game is the career mode. Doing our job properly, we are gradually building up our position and reputation, and our results will make passengers more eager to ride with us, so we earn more money and can buy better buses. There is also a sandbox mode, in which we focus only on driving.
The game also has an online, co-op multiplayer mode, where several players jointly build one transport company.
The developers of Bus Simulator 21 used Unreal Engine 4. The game offers a nice graphic design and looks much better than the previous part. Noteworthy here are the reliably rendered models of each bus, as well as the eye-catching locations.

Bus Simulator 21 Review: Realistically Mundane

FingerGuns: 7 / 10 by Kat Bullock
Bus Simulator 21 allows you to experience the day in the life of a bus driver managing their own company. Create routes, receive pay days, scold ticket dodgers and be on time. The game comes with a clunky and overwhelming interface and little tutorial, but if you shift past this, Bus Simulator 21 could invite a satisfying ride.
Push Square: 6 / 10 by Sammy Barker
While the game doesn’t look particularly pretty, it does run at 60 frames-per-second on PS5, and the developer has implemented haptic feedback and the adaptive triggers, which help communicate the feel of driving a gigantic double-decker. Post-release support is en-route, too, promising new school bus-inspired gameplay and trams, so there’s a lot of life left in this one even once you’ve mastered the extensive content available on day one.
Screen Rant: 2.5 / 5 by Nathan Gibson
Where Bus Simulator 21 excels is in providing a relaxing and strangely soothing experience, much like the Euro Truck Simulator series. Slowly driving around a city and picking up passengers can be more calming than expected, even with all the distractions and extra elements that have to be managed. Of course, that’s only when the game actually works properly and doesn’t suffer from any of the performance and technical issues. Until they are fixed with a patch, Bus Simulator 21 might be more of a headache than it is worth, but it will likely prove oddly therapeutic for some, which means even in its buggy state it still may merit a play depending on what a user is looking for.
Average score from votes.
