“I thought this was a bus simulator, but it turned out to be an arcade bus driving game. If you like a game where you don´t have to lift a finger, but just drive, then this is for you. The graphics was good and it ran smooth on Ultra. The…”Recommended · Steam review · May 2026 · 2 h played · Report / request removal

“Bus Bound is a pretty fun, short n' sweet game. While not a direct successor to Bus Simulator 21, it does feel like a nice sequel showing how far Stillalive Studios have come in the last decade. The good: The price, £25 for the standard…”Recommended · Steam review · May 2026 · 13 h played · Report / request removal

“Reviewing this game is a little like trying to hit a moving target. I played the game when it originally came out, which means I ended up seeing issues with the game that have since been patched by updates. Most of the negative points I…”Recommended · Steam review · Aug 2026 · 76 h played · Report / request removal
