The Polish studio Simteract took its first steps in the simulator genre by creating productions such as Train Life: A Railway Simulator and Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator. In search of developers for the next part of their series dedicated to city bus driving, the company astragon Entertainment decided to collaborate with this team. The result of their work is the game Bus Simulator 27 described here.

Gameplay

Bus Simulator 27 takes us to the fictional Felicia Bay, which was inspired by the Iberian Peninsula. The game provides us with an open world, where we will find diverse districts, busy streets and narrow alleys, as well as modern buildings and monuments.

Driver, passenger and pedestrian

We most often watch Felicia Bay from behind the wheel of our city bus. The fleet of buses available in the game is set to be the largest in the series' history. It includes licensed brands and models, and it consists of both vehicles debuting in the series, as well as buses known from its previous editions.

Analog Stick Gaming: 7 / 10 by Jeff M Young

While they certainly have produced a solid entry here, certain systems and menus leave a bit to be desired. While it certainly is a deeper game than Bus Bound, and that may serve its audience, I simply found Bus Simulator 27 to not always deliver where I wanted from it the most; the driving. And with a few bugs to iron out, the current experience is a tad buggy, to say the least. However, despite my few issues here, Bus Simulator 27 does punch its ticket with deep and rewarding simulation systems that will keep you just as busy in the bus as outside of one.

DayOne: 7.5 / 10 by Győző Baki

So, as of today, Bus Simulator 27 has all the goods on paper, and if developer Simteract manage to iterate on it via regular updates and tweaks, it has all the chances of becoming another hit, just like Bus Simulator 21 before it. Few games feature the depth and variety of the latest entry in the series, now it’s a matter of fixing a series of issues that currently limit its potential. I plan to revisit the game in the future, and hopefully it will live up to its incredible potential with time.

WayTooManyGames: 6 / 10 by Dagmara Kottke

All that said, I have mixed feelings about Bus Simulator 27. Its audiovisual presentation is solid, and the sheer amount of content is impressive, particularly the satisfying selection of buses. However, that currently feels like its only real advantage over the competition. On a technical level, there’s still plenty of room for improvement. Overall, I found Bus Bound somewhat more accessible, even if it wasn’t exactly flawless on the technical front either.
