Omsi 2 is the wonder of simulation and one of the most realistic games of all time. Apart from poor optimization and lack of updates, Omsi manages to do the thing that other bus simulation titles fail to do - this game makes you feel like the real driver, of a real bus, in the real world, that isn't just some glossy RTX graphics. This game features a dedicated community, the best mouse driving controls of all the world's games and everything works, every button is pressable - just like in real life. Even though the optimization is tragic and the graphics are a bit outdated, the game doesn't stutter, lag and overheat your PC nearly as much the glossy simulation games, like Bus Simulator 18, a game that had great possibility but has been ruined by the fictional unrealism and simplicism that was made to tailor the game to beginners. Omsi features realistic looking roads, road conditions, situations and very high, yet very realistic customisability, such as the weather options. Though the developing is bad, and you must mod or buy DLCs to reach a level anywhere near the game's true possibilities. I'm hoping that, soon, a true successor that deserves to be called THE Omsi 3 is going to be released anytime soon, though I'm sure that Bus Simulator 21 isn't just going to be it. I understand that some people might dislike Omsi 2, but only the REAL bus and simulation enthusiasts are going to appreciate it to its fullest.
OMSI 2 was really the time of release full of bugs. Now, about 2 years later, the game in version 2.1.x. Around 99% the bugs are fixed and for other issues the forum for everyone is open. The game is currently playable in any case.
The variety of mods to expand the gaming experience allowed.
PS: It is unfortunate that the previous speakers do not update their review. Pure laziness!
Had loads of fun with this game. But there are many (!) crashes. The game is unstable and you pay a lot for DLC.
The physics and sound is good, but the program itself is terrible.
The game was well adapted to major factors such as physics, scripts and map distances but the main nuisance is bugs and is very expensive. So each content is mercenary (except modes). I would prefer, but it's full of mistakes.
I have one simple reason to rate it with 0 - The game is just ugly, full of bugs, and with little content. Once you get it there is just 1 map (excluding the tiny tutorial one) with 2 lines, the community is supposed to do rest of the content which has to be downloaded manually (there is no workshop). The price of the game and all DLCs are overkill and it is definitely not worth it. I strongly do not recommend it, every other Bus Simulator game is better than this piece of crap.
