Cool game to kill time and get addicted to :)
Game's goal is to automatize everything by putting sensors on tracks which control the switches.

Really nice game, the riddles DO get harder in comparison to the free Demo. We enjoyed it a lot and it also made a good shot for communication :)

Müsst Ihr Wissen, aber Caveira ist ja mal sowas von nervig.

Dieses Spiel ist ein wenig stressig, wenn man mit inkompetenten Freunden spielt.
Alles andere ist super. Grafisch sehr ansprechend, Story ok - jetzt nicht besonders tief (bisher aber hey wir retten die Welt). Die Rätsel sind interessant und als Hacker fühlt man sich gut in der AR eingewoben.

Sehr zu empfehlen auch für den Preis besonders! (Edit: Sind nach 4,5 Stunden durch mit den Missionen. Hoffentlich gibt's irgendwann nen Update, ansonsten sind die 17€ etwas frech, aber in Ordnung, da das Game wirklich ballert.)

PS: Wie in jedem Valorant Trailer geht es auch hier darum, Cypher möglichst banal auf die Fresse zu geben, sehr interessant!

First, in general, this game is a really nice game to play.
Yet only in singleplayer, as the multi has too much bugs to be enjoyable. But bugs are a thing that we already know from Astragon and they'll get fixed some time in the future - we all know that.

General:
- I played in the closed Beta and the game has improved massively since then, just saying :)

Positives:
+ huge Map with much details - old Map (from BS2018) is playable too
+ new busses, some more recent, electro and cng but also the good old Citaros :) (and the Alexander Denis')
+ Open World Experience, theres no menu where you have to start from once you load into the game, you can start missions and routes while standing at a bus stop yourself and attend ur busses or smth
+ driving physics seem to be quite accurate, wheel support is good (controller aint I suppose)
+ Improved lightning and dynamic weather (compared to BS18 this is a huge upgrade, you had to start with ur desired weather and it stayed like that for the whole route)
+ "Reallife" Time - 1min ingame = 1min irl, you can skip time (so you dont have to wait half an hour for the next bus^^)
+ different land schemes and just the nice graphics from UE4 (or 5? xD) upgrade the game


Negatives:
- first the negatives are always the ones that get pointed out better than the positives, some of these listed below are just minor improvements that could be made but there are some major issues (in my opinion) too:

- AI: As was the case before, the AI is just bad. Of course it is difficult to get a AI working realistically, especially in complexe Traffic Scenarios, but in some situations, they just seemed to be ahead of themselves. They run over the street without any crosswalk or sign of recognizing the bus. The pathfinding under bridges is horrible - as has been the case in the beta in mid July (!!). And thats just the pedestrians, the AI Cars also seem to be pretty shy when it comes to priority on crossings: Ex.: You want to turn left onto a prioritized route with the cars on that travalling straight on - if you use ur left indicator they will just stop and not move anymore until you turn them off or turn - if you dont approach with indicator lights on they'll just ignore you and drive into you.

- "Main Station": Massive Downgrade from the 18s, there seemed to be a problem with the AI Busses picking the right of the 6 visual lanes pre-beta which led to them only opening 2 lanes. A Main Station with 2 Lanes? Like come on, even BS18 had 6. UPDATE: They fixed the Transit Terminal with the integration of the Tram Sim, so you have 4 lanes for busses and 2 lanes for trams now.
- Graphics on rain (tho FPS are really stable, just the visuals suck especially on the main window) UPDATE: they patched so that the rain drops are actually visible on the main window until you turn on the wiper.
- Bus Stops: The Bus Stop signs are really close to the street - if you want to deliver ur passengers as closely to the sidewalk on Stops as possible, you have to avoid the signs which leads to not being able to close in realistically. Also the park position is kinda random, cant tell when it is perfect (for the game) and when just good etc... AI Busses stopping on Bus Stops are just 2 metres in the street when they spawn (passengers have to cross 2 metres to the sidewalk idk) UPDATE: this got fixed along with trash cans in previous versions xD
- Bus Spawning in general sucks: On the max visible range (setting) the AI Busses will spawn with lightning and in visual range, so there isnt a clean transition and they always spawn not moving (even in the middle of nowhere)

(these are the main issues I have while playing, they arent game breaking, but just thinks that make the experience much less enjoyable at least for me)


Fazit:
I like the game. Its great to chill, simulate bus driving but once you jump into multiplayer or try taking it a bit too realistic it gets annoying. Some ♥♥♥♥ just doesnt work the intended way, and the devs seem to get slower. Pre-launch and the first few weeks, the communication between Community and Devs was great but the discord is getting more quiet recently. So the game is great as long as you can see all the positives of being able to drive a functional bus etc. and just ignore bugs or make fun of it! I do recommend buying it still, just dont expect a perfect game - it is none.

Cool game. Really fun, nice new mode in My Team. Is fine for beginners, there are a lot of aids! Online lobbies aint so nice yet but we need a patch one to really see how they will perform :)

Some adjustements on the stats from some Drivers are weird, but you can turn it off, so doesnt matter :3

nice game, good for chilling at evening or sth, but some challenges are bit hard and unnecessary if u play this game as realistic as possible. Like some routes they want u to make, wouldnt be created in real life!

Super Spiel für zwischen durch oder mit Freunden an einem PC :D

Êhrenspiel lool, lohnt sich zu kaufen!
