Our recommendation
Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a vehicle simulator game developed by SCS Software. The players are put into the role of a truck driver, picking up cargo and delivering it in locations across Europe and other places. Later in the game, you are put into the role of a truck company manager, running things.
This game combines trucking with RPG elements - you begin with your HQ in a city of your choice, first taking various small jobs before expanding your client portfolio, truck fleet, and many various things. The trucking in itself puts emphasis on realism. You have to obey road signs and rules, as well as fulfill your contractor's wishes and not crash your truck.
If you like just chill driving along the road, slowly expanding your virtual trucking business, and enjoying cleanly delivering a payload to the designed customer, this is a game unlike any in the genre. You can listen to one of the many radios while going through well-recreated environments of Europe (and other places with DLCs). The truck customization and swapping out different parts is also a much-praised facet of the experience.
Going East! DLC adds to the original Euro Truck Simulator 2 map by adding new destinations in countries such as Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. It adds at least 20 hours of new driving contracts, 13 new cities from these regions such as Warsaw, Budapest, Kosice, and many mountainous roads, narrow passes and others to test your skills.
Scandinavia DLC adds the countries of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, with 27 new cities and ports, diverse landscapes across Scandinavia, 80 new cargo types, 12 ferry terminals to Scandinavian countries, and many other improvements to the base game, such as having semi-trailers that transport livestock and cars.
Vive la France! adds, as the name suggests, a large extension to the french maps, with 20,000 km of new roads and highways, 15 new cities, rural French villages and sceneries, and the French tollgate system. In addition, it adds new industries to be employed by and new cargo types to haul.
The Italia DLC adds Italy, the beautiful southern European country full of rich history and beautiful landscapes. The DLC adds 19 new cities such as Rome, Napoli, with realistic road systems. It also includes many regional industries, Italian road rules, improved vegetation, and other improvements.
With Special Transport DLC, you are allowed to take on jobs that are very complicated or dangerous, such as super-sized cargoes like ships, massive tanks of biofuel or other, among 11 types of super-sized cargo. You will be escorted and will have to follow various traffic regulations to succeed.
The High Power Cargo Pack brings new High-Value cargoes, namely the Helicopter, Driller, Yacht, Air conditioners, Tracks, Gas Pipeline Parts, Tractor, and Road Roller. These are all high-powered machinery that will need utmost care while transporting it.
This pack allows you to transport large vehicles or machines, such as an Asphalt Miller, a Mobile Crane, a Crawl Dozer, and others. You will have to balance the trucks in various difficult locations as to not destroy the cargo.
These include the Krone Trailer Pack, the DAF Tuning Pack, the Scwarzmüller Trailer Pack, The Michelin Fan Pack, The Raven Truck Design Pack, Mighty Griffin Tuning Pack, Cabin Accessories, and Wheel Tuning Pack. These add various trucks, paint jobs, cabin accessories and stuff like that, in the game.

Key resellers are sites that sell game keys at (usually) much lower prices than traditional retailers. They do this through a combination of ways, like selling keys that come in a bundle, that were on a sale and many other ways.
The reason why we separated them from traditional retailers is that these stores have been the subject of a divisive discussion for a long time.
The reason we include them is that you can buy keys on these sites usually for very big discounts, sometimes quite ridiculously cheap. In 99 % of cases, they will work the same as a much more expensive key would. For many people, especially people from countries with lower standards of living, this can mean big savings that have a significant impact on their life, while also playing the game and not resorting to piracy.
If you are buying on these stores, we have a few recommendations to follow:
