You start the game as a freelance driver for hire, taking on trucking jobs across the continent. With its superb graphics and realistic truck cockpits, Euro Truck Simulator 2 makes long-haul trucking quite attractive. They really do feel like trucks: Slow to accelerate, jarringly fast to brake thanks to air brakes, ungainly to maneuver, and immensely powerful. If you’re used to more traditional racing games, getting used to the way trucks handle in the game may take some time. There is something soothing in watching the world go by from the high and mighty cockpit of a Volvo FH16 Globetrotter XL. I never thought a truck-driving simulator could be fun, but Euro Truck Simulator 2 ($40) proved me wrong. The climate and time of day change, so you could find yourself enjoying a balmy spring day in one ride, and trying to navigate under torrential rain in the middle of the night in the next.Įuro Truck Simulator 2 offers a vast network of roads to drive on, with many missions to pick from. Vehicle interiors are painstakingly rendered, and countryside views are breathtaking. In this decidedly niche title, you find yourself in the driver’s seat of a full-trailer truck, hauling freight across Europe.
