9/10

Bus Bound is such a relaxing experience that is a fantastic way to unwind and continue to unlock new areas of the city, bus routes, and customization options for your bus. It may disappoint fans of Bus Simulator in its watered down simulator elements, but It's a choice I strongly believe was the rig

Bus Bound is a simulation game with purpose, and seeing Emberville City grow as you breathe life into it is more of a reward than you’ll often find in this genre.

Driving buses in Emberville means respecting speed limits, braking smoothly at stops, and dealing with passengers who complain even when you follow the game's own instructions. But once you get the hang of it - it turns into a chill simulator that grows on you despite itself.

Bus Bound is one of the most accessible bus simulators out there, expecting you to drive with care but not bogging you down with too many intricacies. It works both for and against it: this will be enjoyable for many, but a lack of depth means that it soon becomes quite repetitive. Still, it's worth a look, especially with its budget price.

Bus Bound, the latest title from the team behind Bus Simulator 21, is set in Emberville, a fictional American city. Your task is deceptively simple: keep to the timetable, obey traffic laws, and deliver passengers safely from stop to stop. What initially sounds mundane, quickly proves absorbing.

Bus Bound is the type of game that you'll love if you love simulators, but you might enjoy how peaceful it feels even if you don't usually play this style of game. It's a polished game that delivers what you expect and more. The world alone is beautiful to look at, and the number of pedestrians and other cars makes it feel alive. Aside from a few issues with handling and passenger feedback, the only complaint I have is that I didn't get to try the game with multiplayer or while using a steering wheel controller.
