If you're looking for a bus simulator that is more mundane and routine (as it should), buy OMSI 2. If you're looking for an arcade-style bus simulator/company, buy Bus Simulator 21. Bus World, somehow or another, wound itself in the grey area between OMSI 2 and Bus Simulator 21. It's mundane, arcade-ish. But it has a rather weird score system, which I will cover next.
The rather arbitrary score system and physics are far behind Bus Simulator 21, let alone OMSI 2. I mean, when your bus gets picked up by a tornado, you should land right into someone's house and totally ruining the bus. Don't know how or why its supposedly survivable in the game (and I got the achievement for driving through a tornado and surviving, much to my surprise). The score system doesn't say what actions results in penalties, resulting in some points being lost because I had no clue.
The acceleration is quite poor, even by bus standards. The weight is more like driving an overloaded truck with a woefully underpowered engine and a transmission that takes two business days to change gears. And the sounds, good grief, it makes my ears want to plead for mercy. It has no soul whatsoever.
Graphics, on the surface, it looks okay, but when the rain hits, it looks a lot worse. The rain looks more like a sticky, translucent fluid that flows down the windows. It's overall okay-ish, but not very good in the rain.
It's one of the games that I cannot genuinely recommend or not recommend. Unfortunately, Steam doesn't have a button that puts your recommendations between positive and negative. It's a game that would I highly not recommend buying at full price, and even at a steep discount, I encourage that you do your homework and decide if it's even worth the few dollars.
For me, it's barely enough to earn a positive rating, but barely, and only at a steep discount.
