This expansion builds upon the latter with some more country to drive through. In terms of the new districts, the map already had some variation between urban and rural environments. Forcing you to think about new routes and branding in that way would’ve been interesting. It’s a shame that’s not explored in more detail because, like the base game, missions do sometimes struggle to deviate or freshen up the act of bus driving.
There’s even one objectives that break new ground with applying bus liveries and advertisement. Some routes will have time limits which I managed to figure out pretty easily and they retain the helpful tips when it comes to highlighting required stops. I guess the simpler design was a response to that and there is no confusion this time around.
For instance, there was one where you had to drive four routes within the same session for an objective to count. The base game did have moments of failure when it comes to explaining what’s required of you. Objectives are a lot less complicated, too. There’s still a couple of blockades when it comes to levelling bus stops but there’s a better sense of progression that made the handful of hours feel strangely effortless. Having played this continuously from the main game, it was a relief to see the missions take a simpler approach. It feels a lot smoother than the previous grind. Quite a few simply require you to create and test a route before moving on to the next. The nine tasks in total seem to fly by quicker. The format doesn’t change from Bus Simulator‘s original release but the flow of missions certainly does. You can complete the main game to unlock these new districts or play in sandbox mode to explore them. Missions come courtesy of Max Klein, a new client who wants to connect places like the University to existing and new areas. Over the course of the DLC, you are tasked with linking them together with the existing network. The expansion adds two new districts, Sonnstein and Kerstadt and plonks an airport in between them.
I might even say it became a bit laborious in the latter stages but this extra content looks to add three more districts and several new stops to the existing network. Stillalive Studio’s public transport effort was already a lengthy experience. Perhaps it’s a good thing then that Bus Simulator‘s map expansion DLC has finally arrived on consoles. I’ve spent a fair amount of time doing some mundane things in video games in lieu of travelling from place to place in reality.
