“I came to from Euro Truck Simulator 2, and honestly what a difference. Let me start with the only real reason this game is still alive. The physics. OMSI 2 probably has the most realistic bus physics in the entire bus…”
“its a very good game, has great sounds, physics and has some life in it that most game misses”
“You can drive realistically with crashes or send your bus at 50mph over a mountain on Grundorf. 10/10”

“2026 REVIEW: As an avid traveler worldwide, I have ridden many buses. In fact, next to trains and planes, I have been a big fan of train simulators and flight simulators. To be perfectly honest, "OMSI 2" was one I…”
“Been here since Omsi 1. Even though Omsi 2 did not solve the constant crashing and stutters, it is still a great game. I noticed that some maps are more stable than others. Some DLC maps work almost with zero crashes…”
“OMSI 2 is one of the most realistic bus simulators out there. The level of detail in the driving physics, especially with older buses, is impressive and really rewarding once you get the hang of it. It’s not…”

“its a very good game, has great sounds, physics and has some life in it that most game misses”
“The feeling of driving and the sounds are great. What I really love the most is the time period (older busses, end of cold war) and how much the passengers rate you as a driver. I feel that is missing from current bus…”
“Best hardcore bus game- sounds and mods-maps and models are just awesome! This is like the best bus game i've played so far, it's crazy that a 2013 game has this good gameplay and function's as well, it's by far my…”

“the game itself is very nice the bus physics are nice everything is nice except the prices are pretty high i recommend overall but i feel like some people can't afford it my point here is that you should get the game if…”
“Hard at first, but easy after you know the keybinds! Very realistic, and doesn't need a expensive PC for playing the game!”
“Dont listen to the bad reveiws, yes it has crashed once or twice runs perfectly fine on my laptop around 40fps i have a 7th gen i7, buy the game you wont regret it!!”

“despite being 25 pounds this is a very good game but the main problem is that the menu sometimes glitches so maybe the devs of the game could consider fixing that glitch and this game will be a 5/5 but for now 4.5/5 i…”
“This game offers the best physics ever I found. Well this is my mind. You can find many mods for this game. But DLC are not very good for the prices, but some are very great value. Now what about crashes? Crashes will…”

“I bought this in 2015 and it didn't work on my then laptop. I forgot to refund it and moved on. Now in 2026 with a souped up modern machine, I reinstalled it...and it still doesn't work! 0/10!”

“Considering similar games, such as ETS 2, this game is really poor. I'd say it's more than fairly obvious that once the base game was released, all development efforts have been pushed towards pumping out as many DLCs…”
“Very unstable, you have to mess with several settings just to have it run decently, I know the developers don't really care about this game, but hopefully they consider caring in the future.”

“OMSI 2 is poorly optimized, the graphics aren't great, the textures are bad but can be overcome. This isn't a lot of DLCs that cost upwards of £20, but there is a strong modding community who can add lots of new customisation to the game such as new maps, busses, and liveries so…”

— a player, Steam review · 531 hrs played“Honestly, this sim is so overrated. I get why people like it, but it's outdated on SOO many levels. The sheer fact you need to use "4GB Patch" (google "ntcore 4gb patch") to make this game use more than 2 GB RAM speaks for itself. Yes, it is a 32-bit application. All maps…”
