So, don’t quit your game in the middle of the tutorial as it will skip past several portions of it otherwise. Eventually after thirty minutes or so passed, I realized that I must have missed the tutorial somehow and started a new game where it worked. I drove around having no idea what I was doing. I eventually realized there wasn’t co-op in this version (or at least not a local co-op mode) and on top of that, when I went back to my game it skipped the majority of the tutorial without me realizing it.

As the Steam version is co-op (though I would later learn online co-op only), I started a game and after trying to get a second driver in I wound up leaving the game to see if I missed an option for co-op or if it just wasn’t included in the PS4 build. I must admit that my experience with Bus Simulator couldn’t have started off any worse, due to a bug that I’m not surprised was missed and was mostly my own fault. There’s objectives to complete but like the Truck Simulator series, the main point is to just chill out and drive some routes (though traffic, potholes, and illegally parked vehicles will bring your blood pressure levels back up from time to time).

After awhile, you will be able to buy more buses and drivers to drive them but you will still need to drive some routes yourself. You will drive routes to prove to the city that your company should be entrusted with rebuilding the public transportation system (or at least the bus portion of it).

Luckily, your company (I couldn’t resist calling my one Busy McBusface) has come to town looking to build the infrastructure back up. You start off in an area that has gone years without bus service. In Bus Simulator, you wear the tandem job title of bus driver and company manager. The biggest problems lie in its limited map that don’t make it quite as fun to explore as its Truck Simulator brethren.

While Bus Simulator is far from as polished or fun as Euro or American Truck Simulator (which unfortunately are both PC only), its solid enough. With that in mind, I just had to check out Bus Simulator when I was given the opportunity to review it upon its first ever PS4 release. Add in other “chore” games I’ve enjoyed like Cook, Serve, Delicious! and Viscera Cleanup Detail and it appears that I really enjoy doing monotonous work, but only if it takes place in a video game world. Both are great choices for stress-reducer games and I will often play them when I need to relax.

While that game and its spinoff American Truck Simulator are actually really well-made and have received a lot of critical acclaim, the guilty pleasure part comes from the fact that I have no idea why I love doing chores and other monotonous activities as long as they are in video game form. One of my favorite guilty pleasure games is Euro Truck Simulator 2.
