Euro Truck Simulator 2

since the last update the game is very laggy, no matter what setting I use (M1 Macbook air)

Very nice game Very addicting and needs alot of patience (Still Awesome)

Great for leisure and chill players. Not competitive or challenging.

Gayet güzel bir oyun, diğer oyunlar kadar bağımlılık yapmıyor üstelik.

Weirdly addictive and fun. Something to play while watching or listening to other stuff though.

W graphics, controls and gameplay. It was worth the purchase.

best game ever. at first i thought this was gonna be super boring but no. Idk why but driving and following the rules of the roads just gives me vibes. with radio on and headlights, my 18 year old pc can still handle this game pretty good. i would reccomended this. For me its a 9/10. i just suck at driving trucks lol

I was a trucker from 1960 until 2002, when I had to retire because of my eyesight. I am 84 years old.
When I retired, my only daughter bought me a computer with a copy of the game Mid-town Madness, to keep my occupied during my retirement, and I had played it for 20 years until the computer stopped turning on.
My daughter passed away during the Pandemic, but last week my grandson Jason showed me Europe Truck Simulator and gave me his old computer to play it on. Thank you Jason. This game has reminded me not only of the enjoyment I got from Mid-town madness but of times gone by, when I was a trucker. Even though I proudly voted for Brexit, a decision I will never regret, I enjoyed a life driving all over Europe during my golden years. This game has brought back those lovely memories.
I play this game on my grandsons old computer, his steam account he calls his "troll alt", and a steering wheel that I have plugged into my computer. The screen is my telly.

im actually enjoying thing more then ats lol. great game, with an awesome map, very stable with a stupid amount of mods and it has just a great range of trucks

for any novice or experience driver this is amazing puts you behind the wheel of a Big Rig. hours of fun.

very good game and just hits different on nighttime drives with some music. would recommend :)

its really satisfying how you are stuck behind cars and giving penalties for people hitting me :)

Good game the first thing i did
1.turn it on
2.my notebook is slow so wait
3.spawn in truckersmp calais
4.my notebook lag
5.they Kick me Because i lag
6.spawn in diffrent mechanic
7.play good my notebok good
10/10game that game turned me from Mercedes truck to Volvo truck

Great game, but only if you enjoy games which require patience, I thoroughly recommend using a driving rig with it though, completely changes to experience for the better.

Best game for an overwhelming time pass,career mode is awesome.Also the ambient environment being set in day as well as night time is quiet soothing,realistic mechanics adds up the interest.

This game is amazing and really beautiful game. It has live streaming radio from your country which i think is amazing and it has decent graphic. This Games Deserves more players and more popularity so the Company which made this game can make some income and make more updates to this game. This game is really good and underrated. You can travel across the whole Europe and you can play online with your friends.
I really do recommend this game to you and to others.

Play this whilst blasting turbo folk and drinking Nektar for the ultimate Balkaner experience

I recommend this game to everyone. Cities and states are very coolly made, there are a huge number of different trucks and cargoes of varying complexity in the game. The game also has a multiplayer option, which means that you can diversify long trips with fun with your friends.

I feel like i convinced myself i liked this game cause my homies use to say it was wicked. You pay to do the entire job that you could just go get paid for in real life, in a game! Sick if you like that but damn was a bored when i got past the first few cities

I spent the last 15 years playing ETS, and I hate this game and it's developers every year more and more.
This game has huge problems that are not adressed for years. This is one of the most popular games in the world with SO MUCH potential and it is still popular not becuase of the developers, but despite them. The state of the game in 2025 clearly shows how the developers just don't care about the game and just barely make small changes to make the illusion that it is still beign developed somehow.

-the game is unplayable without mods and with them it is only barely acceptable.
-the developers should have switched to different engine years ago. The technological limitations of the engine for this type of game is unbearable in modern gaming, I mean look on the wet road when it rains. Even some games from 2007 did it better.
-Where other companies in other genres like microsoft flight simulator already have procedurally generated environment, SCS still only make new maps extremely slowly manually with original tools in extremly compressed scale and there is no hope that this will change any time in far or near future.
-The most tragic thing on this game is the AI. Even some games that are developed by a single developer can do 100x better. Just try City Car Driving from 2016. That game had literally no budget and the traffic feels alive, it reacts to you and the roads and traffic rules feel real. When I played that game I realised that SCS are just incompetent when they can't even make the easiest highway driving with traffic feel real after so many years.
-Crashing physics feels like need for speed II from 1997 even that was more realistic.
-The sound design from SCS is so terrible in EVERY aspect of the game that when I played for 10 minutes without ZEE mods I had to check if my sound system is not broken. I don't understand why companies that provide licenses for their trucks in the game have no problem with that awful sound of the engines but on the other hand don't want their trucks being physically destructed in the game itself. I think that former is a bigger problem if you want to promote your product through a game. (I love ZEE mods by the way, the most competent sound designer for trucks/cars in the world in my opinion)
-VR optimazation. The company just does not give a f*ck about VR players. It feels horrible and stutters imensly even on more powerfull GPU's. I heard that VR version of the game would not even exist if one of the devolopers did not have it as side project, dont know if that is true but if yes hats off at least to this guy.
-Another thing is the lack of multiplayer. I mean i dont really care that much about that but not having real multiplayer in a game like this is just mind blowing in 2025. I tried the moded multiplayer and it was horrible, too few players for such a big map and no AI cars (they are switched off so it would be at least a bit playable but that is not the solution) so it feels completely desolated.
-SCS dont give a f*ck about modders, I mean PROmods is a must have for anybody these days and lack of cooperation with this comunity or other ones that creates free content for their own game is just stunning. Why the hell do you create new locations in the map where it is already done by someone else on even higher standard then your own ? I will never understand that.
-Even with so many critical issues unresolved the game developer develops DRIVING SCHOOL module into the game. I thought I would cry when I saw that. I mean the cars in the game don't even know when not to give way, or you can't even set the width of the roads to a realistic setting but you create a driving school module... WTF!

I feel like someone needs to develop a truck game from scratch because SCS software is just hopeless after all those years. The open world driving genre in general is extremely relaxing, profitable and has unlimited potential, but the lack of competition is really frustrating and I beg SCS to up their game (pun intended) or at least put it in hands of someone who cares !

Enjoyable to play, but updates keep breaking mods and thus save files.

mac users be aware!

update 1.54 made the game very bad performing for me because of low frames and stuttering

till the update i played on a mac mini M2, 8GB with good performance on medium settings.

now its not playable anymore no matter what graphic settings i choose.
even on lowest it does not perform on a playable level.

can not recommend anymore for mac.

Great game. Played a few other similar games but this one is the best.
The only thing that is a bit annoying are the RTAs as sometimes you can't get by as the police have blocked up the whole road but I guess that just adds to the realism of the game. 4.5 stars recommended 👍

Pay to play - I don't want to pay just to unlock a part of a map, If you don't want to spend so much money on this game, just don't even play it
Those DLCs that contain only a part of a map should be integrated into the game for free

Love this game. Only been playing for about 24 hours but it is so relaxing. Graphics are great and with mods it makes the game even better.

The game is over a decade old. Age aside, it's still been updated by dedicated developers who listen to the community and provide quality updates. For me, I would highly recommend this game if you're out for a casual adventure. Every corner you drive around carries different scenery.

Good game but it's not for everyone. This is my first time playing a simulator game and for what its worth its good for the price so I didn't refund it (I got ets2 & ats for only 100 Philippine pesos). Don't have much issues in the game aside from steering issues with my controller so i couldn't really play the game properly even after changing the settings. The truck just steers to much or too little with my controller.

Really good simulation, trucks feel weighty and is the best feeling driving in a game and given that's the point, it's great. The game is relaxing and now you can play it with friends where it is way way wayyyy less relaxing

Crashing in game is expensive with that its hard to progress in the game. deleting this game.

Very good game. I still remember when I used to play this game as a kid about a decade ago on my old laptop. I had a copy downloaded from some random website. It looked superb to me in graphics and still same feeling. Always visit the game time to time to have a peaceful mind. This game among few games I always install after buying a new device or resetting my device.

very fun and realistic game.

✅ Deep Customization Options: From truck modifications to managing your fleet, the game offers a ton of options to personalize your experience.
✅ Relaxing Yet Engaging Gameplay: While the pacing is slow, it provides a calming, zen-like experience of driving and managing a trucking empire.

❌ Initial Learning Curve: New players may feel overwhelmed by the controls and the complexity of managing a trucking business.
❌ Limited Action: For players looking for action-packed or fast-paced gameplay, this is not the game for you. It’s all about long, leisurely drives.
❌ Minor Technical Issues: Occasionally, bugs and glitches can disrupt the immersion, especially in certain DLCs or mods.

Final
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a phenomenal simulation game for those who appreciate realism, attention to detail, and the art of long-distance trucking. It’s not a fast-paced action game, but rather a calming and deeply immersive experience for players who want to relax and enjoy the drive. With its detailed world, customization, and steady stream of content, it’s a must-play for simulation fans.

⭐⭐⭐ 9/10 – The best truck simulation game out there, offering a peaceful yet engaging experience for those who love the open road.⭐⭐⭐

(i have had this game before with 250hrs)

the graphics is great

I liked how precise it is the maps the quick jobs it's the perfect training for whoever want to be a truck driver

Excellent road driving game, some unique older units vanilla would have been nice, however other than that definetly one of the best, there are also man nice mods like the saviem sm the fiat fnm and ford transcontinental all recommended.

big community, you can mod it as you wish. also, the expanding world map makes it a true world tour sim. cool & chill game, love it!

Spent three hours playing the tutorial and then instantly crashed into a coach on my first mission

With all DLCs and a steering wheel, this isn’t just a game—it’s a lifestyle. There’s nothing quite like a long-haul night drive across Europe, radio on, headlights flickering in the distance. Before you know it, you forget you’re at your desk—you’re the king of the road.

Each DLC expands the world, and with a steering wheel? Pure immersion. Add customization, management, and that perfect road-trip vibe—it’s just ABSOLUTE GENIUS. If you’ve got a wheel and ETS2, you don’t need any other games.

good game very fun to play i play on a wheel and its super fun and if u play with frends its more fun dif a 10/10

Game keeps on crashing when you enter certain cities...bad really bad because its enjoyable but problematic at the same time due to the fact that you travel a long way just to let the crash.

Such an amazing game. Even though the graphics aren't on the level of other games like God of War and Death Stranding, the game is still absolutely stunning and the level of detail when it comes to the cities are great. It is both a really great time waster, as well as a way to dip your toe into the world of trucking!

fun and addictive, but for all that is good PLEASE add Vulkan graphics API support... Linux is stuck with OpenGL which is a deprecated graphics library that performs awful and I have to run it through Proton to actually get the game to run and look good even though it's virtualizing windows while doing this.. I understand adding Vulkan support isn't done in a day but please...

Love it good map AI is decent.For more traffic on the road i would recommend mods.PLZ ADD NEW ACTROS INTO THE GAME MERC IS LACKING

One of the best games out there! Maybe the only game that actually makes your playtime feel productive. I use the in-game radio to listen to English podcasts, and I’ve also added podcasts in my own language. Driving through Europe’s roads while learning and enjoying the journey—an amazing experience!

A really, really great game, for reasons not always so easily described. Certainly a good choice for relaxation and unwinding, though.

play this game, its fun with trucks and you can download mods to drive cars

It's a very nice game, great landscape, a big variety of trucks and very good graphics. I would recommend this game to anyone.

I just love this game. I personally think, that adding a few mods would give it a bit more realism and I like that, you can mod this game as much as you would like. It's chill game where you can calm down or just relax. Highly reccomend.

If you haven’t tried Euro Truck Simulator 2 yet, I seriously recommend giving it a go. It’s one of those games that might surprise you with how addictive and relaxing it can be.

The driving feels super realistic, and the world is massive – you get to explore so many countries across Europe, delivering cargo and navigating through cities, highways, and scenic country roads. The best part? It’s so chill, but still offers enough challenge to keep you hooked.

You can customize your trucks, build your own trucking company, and there’s a ton of mods from the community that keep things fresh. Plus, it’s a great way to just unwind after a long day.

If you like simulation games, or even if you’re just curious about what it’s like to drive a truck across Europe, this game is definitely worth checking out!
