Euro Truck Simulator 2

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.

⭐⭐⭐ 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.

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!

very cool game, but im mad because it went on discount the day after i bought it

i got a steering wheel to play this with and its the chillest game i own no questions asked. driving while listening to music is so fun in this game it deserves all the good reviews!

Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) is a relaxing and immersive truck-driving simulation game. It offers a vast open-world experience where you transport goods across realistic European cities. The game features detailed truck customization, dynamic weather, and a real-time economy system. The driving mechanics feel authentic, with smooth controls and realistic physics. Whether you’re exploring scenic highways or managing your trucking business, ETS2 delivers a satisfying experience. It’s a must-play for simulation and driving game fans!

Very fun game for chilling but when it comes to multi-player is a total mess. I like it

10/10 will spend 14 hours of my life a day again

Ets and Ats is Awsome Simulator games. I just want to ask if posseble can You make Truck Tunning Pac DLC for all the new truck's. like The (KW- W900 Tuning Pac DLC) and (Renualt Tuning Pac). Please SCS Team

it is fun and accurate but by the gods, traffic violations will plunge you into faster than you truck can move, if you're as careless as a driver like i am that is.

A greatly enjoyable game. Although not particularly stunning graphically, it still has moments where the view out of your musty cabin will leave an impression.

Wonderful locations all over Europe, and the game even gives you a reason never to visit France (due to all their toll roads).

This game is made immeasurably better by turning off the speed limiter and blasting through country roads at 150 km/h. I wonder how the cattle in the trailer feel about that.

More pertinently, this game even proves that we live in a society, because if you build up your own company - after a certain point, speeding fines (which I pick up, constantly, barreling through 150 inhabitant villages at the aforementioned 150 km/h with a trailer full of cattle) won't even make a dent in your finances. I have become too big to fail.

God truly entered this game like a game the same size, like me floating into you or you floating into me.

TROUTMASTERS 13/13

really good game for the sleepless nights

Euro Truck Simulator 2 offers an incredibly immersive and relaxing experience, allowing players to take on the role of a truck driver navigating Europe’s highways. The attention to detail in the game's graphics, truck models, and realistic driving mechanics creates an authentic experience. The vast open world, complete with dynamic weather and day-night cycles, makes every journey feel unique. The sense of progression, from starting with a small truck to running a full-fledged trucking business, is deeply satisfying. With its calming gameplay and focus on strategy and planning, Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a fantastic choice for fans of simulation games. If you want some driving games and want to relax, then this is for you.

Game is OK--not great--not worth full price--not worth sale price--definitely worth *no price*, so pick it up from that store. SCS employees are some of the rudest and unprofessional people in this industry, so I'd recommend never making a community post (regardless of how benign you might think it is) because they love the ban hammer way more than they love their game. American Truck Simulator is a little better gameplay-wise, but the community management and developers are the same. I'm permanently banned with a message "you're right I'm too lazy to go through your posts." Implying that my permanent community ban is the product of a huge jackass not doing right by the community. Sucks Cox Software. We'll never see another game from them. Just $1,000s in DLC.

Pretty good to game which is almost 13 years since Day one, lots development, reworks to make this game better and relates on latest devices. Hope to see lot improvements onward

The only game where M25 is not stuck in traffic

Runs well on linux, wish i can bought the dlcs soon
Fun trucking after doing trucking all day

pretty mid but still fun if ykwim. Fun game but American trucking sim is much better

Do you want to drive realistically and almost like in real life? Then Euro Truck Simulator 2 is the kind of game you should try, a very large world that benefits from almost all countries. In addition, this game offers a variety of trucks and really good tuning options, and that's not all, plus you can find and use thousands of mods that make the game even more fun. And you think that's the end? No. You can also play with others or friends in convoy mode or in the additional multiplayer called “TruckersMP”. That's not all, ever heard of ProMods? OK, if not then I'll explain it here: ProMods is a mod extension that adds more countries that aren't available as DLC, as well as better graphics, but that's a matter of perspective. You can use Euro Truck Simulator with steering wheel & all other accessories. In my opinion an absolute game changer & for me one of the best games. I hope I could give you an insight, what are you waiting for, become the trucker of your own fantasy

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

Pros:
✅ Immersive and Relaxing Gameplay – Drive across Europe, delivering cargo and enjoying the scenic routes. The game offers a realistic and peaceful trucking experience.
✅ Huge Map and Expansions – The base game covers many European countries, and DLCs add even more regions with stunning landscapes and detailed cities.
✅ Deep Customization – Modify your trucks with countless options, from paint jobs to engine upgrades.
✅ Engaging Economy System – Build your own trucking company, hire drivers, and expand your business empire.
✅ Great Modding Community – Tons of user-made content, including new trucks, maps, and improved graphics.
✅ Multiplayer (Convoy Mode) – Play with friends and enjoy cooperative trucking.

Cons:
❌ Slow-Paced for Some Players – If you prefer fast action, this may feel too relaxed.
❌ Repetitive at Times – Long hauls can get monotonous without variety in tasks.
❌ DLC Costs Add Up – While the base game is great, the full experience with all expansions can be expensive.

crashed a couple times did a dlip 10/10 would recomment
oh and got kicked from truckers mp for indicating for like 10 mind in a traffic jam then changing lane

Very good game, I really like working as a truck driver and going on very long flights to see the beauty of the ETS world, thanks to the developers for such a top game

Najlepsza gra jaką grałem tylko trochę mi się kierunki jebią gdy wypije 2 piwka

Way, way more enjoyable than it has any right to be. Surely just driving goods around Europe (and beyond with mods) or the US (and beyond with mods) with American Truck Simulator cannot be this totally engaging? Well, yes it certainly can. It can be as chilled or frantic as you wish. Personally I'm definitely at the chilled end. Watch the world roll by, learn to manoeuvre a large truck and trailer. The new driving helps with that. Build a trucking empire if you wish, or not. Pimp out your trucks, or not. It's all up to you.
There are tons of paid addons and mods to add maps, trucks, trailers, cars, customisable elements for your trucks etc. Mods allow you to make it harder to make money, or make the weather and road conditions tougher if you want a greater challange.

Do yourself a favour and give it a go, and be surprised at how much fun it is!

The recent update has ruined everything! I usually play using a gamepad, but now I can't because the button layout has completely changed. In the version before 1.50, I could shift up by pressing RB and shift down using LB. I've tried various configurations, both official ones and those from players, but nothing works. I tried shifting up using LB + RS UP, but it only moves the camera. I can still use the mouse, but I'm not used to it and it's uncomfortable for me.

Please, if anyone knows how to change the gamepad layout back to the old one, as I’ve tried changing the layout myself but it doesn’t work as it should.

For now, I will uninstall this f**kin' game until fixed.

As someone who has spent countless hours exploring its roads, delivering cargo across its expansive map, and enjoying the meditative nature of the gameplay, I can confidently say that ETS2 holds a special place in my heart. However, despite my love for the game, recent developments have introduced issues that are difficult to overlook.

Before delving into the details, I must mention that this is my first-ever review on Steam. I felt compelled to share my thoughts because, while I have thoroughly enjoyed ETS2 over the years, the frustration caused by certain aspects of the game has reached a point where I believe it’s important to speak up.

The most glaring problem lies in the performance drops observed in newer DLC maps. While the visual upgrades and reworks in these areas are undoubtedly impressive, they come at a significant cost to performance. Even on systems that comfortably handle the base game and older expansions, these regions often result in frustratingly inconsistent frame rates. What makes this particularly exasperating is the fact that these issues did not exist before the reworks. The optimization—or lack thereof—seems to be an afterthought, leaving players with an experience that is at best distracting and at worst unplayable.

Adding to the frustration is the artificial intelligence (AI) of the game, which, despite years of development, remains woefully inadequate. The AI-controlled vehicles routinely demonstrate behaviour that ranges from mildly inconvenient to outright absurd. Sudden lane changes without signalling, failure to yield at intersections, and an uncanny ability to brake at the worst possible moment are just a few examples of the nonsensical antics players must contend with. While a degree of unpredictability is realistic in traffic simulations, the AI in ETS2 often feels less like a reflection of reality and more like a caricature of it.

As a devoted player, it is disheartening to see such issues persist in a title that I hold in such high regard. The developers' commitment to expanding the game’s world is commendable, but these efforts must be matched by a focus on optimization and refinement. Without addressing these problems, the experience of exploring ETS2’s beautifully crafted roads will continue to be overshadowed by technical and design shortcomings.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 deserves to shine as the definitive trucking simulator, and I truly want to see it thrive. However, until these frustrations are resolved, even the most loyal fans may find their patience wearing thin.

For a game that I have spent so much time enjoying, writing this review was not an easy decision. Yet, I hope this feedback helps highlight areas for improvement and contributes to making ETS2 the best it can be.

I Hate driving long distances in real life, like genuinely hate it, unless its evening. Despite this fact, i love this game, what looks and seems like it would be repetitive and boring quickly for whatever reason simply isn't? Its just so satisfying and i have no idea why, but i want to keep playing and driving, i even purchased a steering wheel just for this game, is there something wrong with me? Idk but hey this is a quality game ESPECIALLY with friends, it is absolutely hilarious seeing your friends lose control at high speeds and panic and flip their truck (and somehow send cars flying through the air). 10/10.

Very nice graphic for a game this old really good story but best played with a sim wheel

very fun game. i cant play truckersmp though sadly because im on macbook:(

I have been playing this game for long time. Would I ever of thought of playing a truck sim before no a chance. But it is actually a very fun and quite chill game. Trucking your way around Europe. You have your company to run hire drivers expand and upgrade garages not as in depth as I would like sometimes. The actual game driving is fun trying out all the makes and models of trucks, finding sites and interesting scenery along the way. I have found some great thing like a naval museum, and some gate guard Il2 and even a t34 somewhere in eastern Europe. Earn money lots of mods. My favourites are the in cab mods. I always have a passenger and 2 cats with me on my journeys, I get the DLC map packs they are really well priced for DLC. I am not so taken by the trailers and paint job packs but its personal choice. If you like a game that is a challenge as well as fun and yes quite relaxing this is worth a look for sure.

I love this game! but, i am very disappointed. 70% of the game is absolutely useless waste of space due to lack of economy. From the beginning to the end you stuck hauling refrigerators since it is best price per distance cargo. all the beautiful companies from trailers/streams are hidden, in 470 hours I never had a cargo to any of them. All the beautiful cities you will never see because companies are located outside of them and there is zero reason to go there. Companies that you will actually drive to 99% of a time are just copy pasted to every city, it makes game look very monotonous all beautiful companies are hidden and never have cargo to them or it is very cheap so it's not worth hauling. Developers talk all the time about updates that never happen. Game is about driving trucks but lots of trucks are decades old, controls are terrible unless you have a steering wheel. Graphics are terrible, lighting is flat and never been updated/fixed, developers only talk about direct x 12 for last 4-5 years and it's not in the game, everything they say feels like empty words for marketing to sell the game and useless DLCs that you will never use. the game does not have a goal, making money is pointless, buying trucks is pointless because you only haul refrigerators which don't require expensive, powerful truck. Developers are working hard on the game but it feels abandoned because they're completely forgot the main goal of the game - driving trucks. I hope developers will see this review and give more attention to games mechanics instead of piling up pointless updates that average player will never see while playing the game.

god its just trucks and roads, why is it so much fun?? i have literally played this game for hours to just drive, there's something very relaxing about it and just listening to the radio or with your own tunes that makes it so much fun, a must try for sure
