⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) Probably one of the better Bus Sims

Despite its bugs, *The Bus* is honestly the best bus simulator I've ever played. The driving feels realistic, the city is immersive, and it captures the experience of operating a city bus better than any other bus game I've tried. That said, the game definitely needs more polish. There are still crashes, frame rate drops, AI issues, UI glitches, and other bugs that need to be fixed. The lighting could also use some improvements, and certain graphics could be tweaked to make the game look even better. Even with those issues, I'm having a great time with it. The core gameplay is excellent, and that's why I keep coming back to it. I really hope the developers don't abandon this game. It has so much potential. Please keep supporting it with updates, bug fixes, and graphical improvements, because this could become the definitive bus simulator on PS5.
