48 of 48 · most liked firstI was surprised at the amount of parts of the bus you can control. The garage where you work is huge. I am not a bus mechanic in real life, but I think the buses in this game are very detailed. This is really a very detailed mechanic simulator. Also you can enter the bus to check some parts there. So you can also take a look at the interior. I had no crashes or long loading times. The game worked like it should with me. Here I repair my first buses: https://youtu.be/6XqmxjGu0PM
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As i'm a apprentice bus engineer for a british bus company i've kind of cheated in knowing what other things to look for when doing the job list. I plan to use this game as a learning tool as there's some things in my job that doesn't happen anymore and is always taken away under warranty to be sorted with the gearbox and engine. For the gameplay its quite close to what happens in a garage, minus the mess and the struggling to undo rusted bolts and trying to see what im doing in dark parts of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It plays well but it tends to get a bit like well, where's the progression? you replace one part with another on a bus and that's it. Then you do it again on the next bus. You don't seem to be progressing and you're left feeling like what's the point?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s a good game but it’s Lagging my system I don’t know how to sort it out
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far so good, very in-depth. The only issue I have is FPS, I would like the option or while in disassembly mode the grey outline of removed parts is turn off and turns back on when in assembly mode. There are a few spots that are hard to reach, so maybe a new camera mode. But all in all to love the detail in this.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very Slow Load Times was on the loading screen for about 20 minutes before it loaded me into the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →REVIEW Bus Mechanic Simulator is without doubt the MOST REALISTIC Mechanic Simulator on the market. I would love to see more added; Multiplayer, Business management & Driving, but even without these things this game delivers a super realistic Garage experience. Sim UK - ANY GOOD?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Much too difficult to target bolts to remove, sometimes impossible to target bolts. Tried for over an hour to remove a brake disc, could not target the bolt for the caliper from underneath or from up top. Biggest fault is that the parts on the bus, parts in inventory and the parts in the store are not called by the same name, especially for pressure hoses. Makes the game very confusing when trying to find the parts in the store.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow. This is beyond awful. They've tried to copy Car Mechanic Simulator but have failed miserably. First issue, it does about 20 fps at best (on a 1660ti, Ryzen 5 2600, 16gb DDR4) so that's pathetic. The tutorials are woeful they don't show you anything that you need to know. If you manage to complete a job without getting physically stuck and being forced to restart the game losing all progress you get 1 out of 3 stars even when you have done as much a possible on the job. Then you accept you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had to force quit on the first startup as it froze the whole PC, explorer would not respond. and then the 2nd Start, it loaded into the Game ok. Frame rates are very Weak for the Ryzen 3800X, FTW3 1080 Ti. But all in all it is Playable and I know that the Dev's will update as time goes by. My rating is Positive as it does look like there is a lot to do in this Game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My pc is better then the requirements but im still only getting 10 fps. horrible game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is actually quite good, holding my interest longer than the car mechanic games (maybe i need to revisit those). Nice amount of detail and the jobs become more complex when you level up. the sounds and graphics are nice. the radio not so much, but you can play your own. it's definitely not for everyone. recommended for people with patience looking for a chill game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bus Mechanic Simulator Review The Game play It very good with a lot part to take apart, I really enjoy this game Now the pros and Cons Pros Very challenging Harder jobs with level 2 to 3 3 buses to work on Free play to learn Cons Only 1 Manufacturer Radio is no good Tutorial needs improvement No mod support
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unplayable for me right now as there is a constant lag issue even with a decent spec PC. Once the dev fixes this it should be a good game i would imagine.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ok so the look of game made it look promising and was looking forward to it would recommend this game had few issues at the start but managed to sort them out and now i am having trouble coming away from the game graphics are supurb few lil ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but you can ignore them for now as it is a new game and im sure they will resolve this lil ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →for fun its ok :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Having played pretty much all the mechanic sim games (CMS 15, 18, 21, Tractor Mech sim, Wrench...) I consider this one a hidden gem. The UI differs from the others, but works fine. It takes some getting used to. For instance, some players have apparently complained that they are unable to complete certain jobs thanks to part accessibility issues / camera angle problems. But, the UI offers the ability to "ghost" your way through the bus and approach any part at any angle, fixing this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do like the game, It's kind of realistic. It's interesting to see the details of the busses and the steps of fixing them. There is no story but thats obvious not the goal for the team. Graphics are ok, I have not had anny problems with lag or other problems. I hope they will uppdate the game and make it more interesting, but it's not a bad game now! A fuse is either working or not, they don't work by 45% or 70%. You should be abile to put on interial lights or other things on the buss…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not a good enough tutorial, for example the tutorial only showed you how to find things and then how a tire is fitted I'm Sorry. Not good enough. You need a tutorial for everything not just tires, or least for the gearbox fluid on how to fill it, i found it but no way in getting there! doesnt say remove the chairs in the bus, or remove the thing thats infront. and doesnt let me check the fluid or put fluid in. I have noticed there was a bug where you got stuck in the compartments where the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love how detailed everything is, but I wish you could do a lot more like in Car Mechanic Simulator where you buy vehicles and restore them and upgrade your shop, and you take orders from the shop phone not have it appear automatically. Other than that its a sweet game and I'm enjoying it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is ok thought it would be alot better
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →UNPLAYABLE VERY LAGGY CANT ENJOY GAME WOULD NOT RECOMMEND
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: - Very in-depth - Well designed - Educational - Entertaining - Reasonably priced for what you get Cons: - Tutorial gives you minimal help - Had look look for a manual online to grasp controls. - No tool tips, I had to figure out that points earned are used to purchase m Personal Statement: I am thoroughly enjoying the game, it is giving a great insight into bus mechanics as a whole. I did find it difficult to get into until researching online and found a manual on controls. Points…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is perfect for those who want to learn how a bus engine works
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In all honesty, not too impressed with this game. It has the potential to be great, like CMS 2018 but it needs some issues fixing. I found a pretty irritating bug where I get stuck in the side of the bus and can't move out of it, making me quit and re-load multiple times. Along with other similar bugs. I like the points based unlocking system, it makes you grind for upgrades but it makes the early stages hella boring. While my PC isn't top of the range for gaming, it's fairly new and handles…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When joining game it is very unstable, not even 30FPS when looking at the bus even on high end pc's, game needs some work but i can see it come to life pretty soon :)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No instructions given. Not so convenient to use tools. Poorer game experience than the car mechanic simulator 2018
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game!! Like how it works with the jobs more realistic then Car Simulator 2018. Devs are great and listen to us gamers and fix the bugs in the game we gamers reports. Have no issue with performance at all. All graphics settings on the higest alternatives and resolution 3440x1440. But if all help the devs and report bugs and issues. They can give all us gamers better game experience. My english is not great so I hope you all understand. Thanks Devs for a fun game!! Keep it up!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So I've got 10 hours in so far, and figured it was time to write my review. As a huge fan of mechanic simulator games, I was very drawn to this game. With tons of hours of Car Mechanic Simulator 2018, this game is amazing. The amount of detail is intense. The smallest bus has 2000 parts, so this would definitely be a hardcore mechanic sim. Every tiny part seems to be in this game. Once of the biggest differences that really jumped out was that there is no "money" in this game. When you replace…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is very detailed in many ways and i would recommend it best mechanic sim game i have played yet the developers are very helpful with questions
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just what it is a Bus Mechanic Simulator. Nothing like it I have ever seen. Is kind or repetitive but you work for a big city bus company.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it Is Have fun!!!!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game with a good idea and interesting mechanics. It gives a lot of fun at the beginning. It's a pity that it is not developed anymore. It would be a really interesting position.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love buses
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is fun but do not buy it, giovanni
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →fantastic game love it just want some more contant and updates or even some dlcs
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the immersion and different things that need to be fixed on a bus as you level up.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game sucks. I was looking forward to getting stuck in to this game as I love these types of games however it crashed 3 times and didn't even load into the game. I would not recommend this game as it's broken. I have a very good PC So disappointing!!!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →verry good game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good way to waste a few hours. The technical aspect is good, however, the frustrating thing is not being able to carry more than one item during the normal mode. Also the time it takes to level up hasn't been explained fully. If you're interested in Engines/Mechanics, then this game is for you.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Up to this point, seems to be a well thought out game. Only problems I see is in the tutorial. Don't know how to Deflate a tire and is asking to check for certain things and can't find them to check them. Frame rate needs a little work as the game lags a bit at times. All very fixable however and massive room for expansion as well. Would love to see several types, makes and model of equipment at some point. I will be right here when that happens. I might be in the break room having a cup of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is interesting. Starting to learn it can be a challenge, but is fun. Figuring out each and every section of the bus make for quite a challenge, and with luck you can have them done right. If successful you won't go crazy doing it and enjoy the game for a pleasurable experience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hope you guys keep making mechanic sims, because this is the way they should be done! Thanks! This is a real gem.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →yes i would iang4
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you like buses and mechanics! Great game for you. Lots of future of potential
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very nice game, with huge potential. In My opinion game need to have option to choice for beginners amd proffesionals. I wait for more updates becouse i`m played 24 hr`s and game start to give same things to fix.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →after getting help from Aerosoft agents to find out my graphics card needed repairing now i recommoned this!
