Euro Truck Simulator 2 for Windows

Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a game that requires constant attention to what is happening on the virtual road.

Wide highways, on which cars, and strive for you to get under a semi-trailer, if you are driving in more than one lane, are replaced by narrow roads, on which you can easily ram oncoming traffic if you accelerate and do not fit into a turn. Let’s keep silent about the fact that for an accident you will be issued a fine, the car will receive damage that needs to be repaired for the game currency (if not serious), and for speeding, and driving in the oncoming lane will also be fined.

All in all, meet Euro Truck Simulator 2, a great game to have a good time in. The game itself is somewhat realistic: a variety of accidents (cars sometimes “lie upside down”), a well-developed car interior, and the list does not end there.

The game is well suited for those who do not like action and dynamic shooters, but want to spend time playing quietly. Euro Truck Simulator 2 can please with beautiful sunsets and sunrises, landscapes outside the window. In addition to this, the game has a radio, where you can find music to your liking. If the tastes are very specific, there is an opportunity to add your own tracks to the game.

But there are also not improvements, it is very rare to see a pedestrian. Sometimes artificial intelligence makes way for you, you pass and then get stuck in a traffic jam, because the “bots” give way to each other, forming a traffic jam.

Basically, Euro Truck Simulator 2 is well done and in the initial stages it is really just a truck driving simulator with a load. I took it from point A and took it to point B. Everything is elementary. But as the game develops, it acquires an element of economic strategy, and over time it only grows, which ultimately makes the game interesting. The elaboration of the world is quite specific. There are several environmental models for each country, which change periodically. For example, in Germany we are often surrounded by forest. In France and Belgium – fields and windmills, etc. The Alps are especially worth noting here. They and the regions around them are drawn with love and attention, and it does not matter which part of them you are driving – Italian or Swiss, French or Austrian. The situation is the same in the Scandinavian countries (Denmark is really naughty). Here you will find Sweden with its coniferous forests and lakes, as well as mountainous Norway.

Cars, by the way, in the game Euro Truck Simulator 2 are made with a plus (of course, the game is still about them). Every small detail of the interior and body is recreated with precision, you choose your tractor from one of seven industry giants. It is also worth noting such a pleasant trifle that not only tractors are well drawn, but in general all the cars on the road. In passing cars, you can easily recognize Skoda Octavia, BMW M5, Land Rover and others.

There is a lot to praise Euro Truck Simulator 2 for. But let’s go over the cons again. Let’s start and finish with cities. Why was it impossible to make each city unique? At least try to give each city its inherent soul. As an example: Meet this Paris, what do we know about Paris? The Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysees … according to the designers are not needed in this game. In return for a dozen sheds, get, sign. Meet Venice, what do we know about Venice? A city on the water with beautiful architecture and floating gondolas … In return for a dozen sheds, get – sign. Meet Mordor, what do we know about Mordor? The abode of the dark lord Sauron, it was here that the ring was carried by brave hobbits and other magical creatures … this place is absent in the game, but what would it look like? That’s right a dozen sheds.

As a result, we can say that Euro Truck Simulator 2 is still a trucker simulator, and a priori it cannot be super exciting and filled with action, possess a deep storyline. The game gives you everything that a trucker simulator can give, and these are your problems, not the developers’ problems, if you just did not like transporting 22 tons of rice from Dortmund to Lyon.

Start the engine, turn on the radio, and drive through the night European fields!
