Bus Simulator 16 has licensed the vehicles of MAN.[1] In addition to the buses of the German bus maker, the game features a total of six buses that allow players to drive across five districts.[2] The game also provides a route manager for players to create their own bus lines. A multiplayer mode is available in the game as well.[3]

Development and release

Bus Simulator 16 was announced July 2015. It is the first game in the series developed by Austrian video game developer stillalive Studios.[4] The game was scheduled to release on 20 January 2016 for Microsoft Windows and macOS,[5] but it was postponed to 3 March 2016 due to technical issues.[6] A bus downloadable content featuring three licensed Mercedes-Benz buses, including an 18-meter long Citaro G articulated bus, were available on 25 January 2017.[7]

Reception

Шаблон:Video game reviews Bus Simulator 16 received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.[8]

Richard Allen of Invision Community rated a seven to the game. He wrote that the handlings of the game were quite similar with the American Truck Simulator of SCS Software, which was published in the same period.[9]

James Graham of Dark Station gave it three stars out of five. He praised the game's interesting ideas, but criticised its tiny in-game map and a lack of in-depth content.[10]

Brash Games only rated the game a poor three points out of ten. The writer commented, "Bus Simulator 16 is a lifeless, soulless lie of a simulator; and I use the term ‘simulator’ in the loosest possible way."[11]
