Name:	Euro Truck Simulator 2
Release date:	October 19, 2012
Platforms:	PC
Genre:	Simulation

Description

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.

Recommendation

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.
