You can also purchase bases for your trucking empire which will allow you to begin fast travelling between your different properties, allowing you access to even more cargo deliveries.Ī trucking company also needs employees so you can hire people to work for you and make deliveries. One last delivery can easily turn into an extra couple of hours as you try to reach the next level and unlock what you are looking to buy. This does a nice job of making sure that there is always something to work towards. Upgrades are locked based on what level you are. You can paint the outside of the truck to make it look more sportier. Change the gearbox to provide more torque. You can swap out the engines for something more powerful.
This gives a nice sense of progress as you start off with a cheap truck and are then able to begin purchasing more premium models.Įach truck can also be customised in a lot detail. You can purchase newer and higher quality trucks.
The game has a lot of customisation options which add to the immersion of the game. It’s not just enough to let the player deliver cargo. Building An Empireįor a game that is called Euro Truck Simulator 2, it’s expected that the game will put a massive emphasis on trucks. Remember this to avoid totaling your truck by getting involved in a head-on collision. Not that I made the mistake but remember they drive on the other side of the road in Europe.
If you’ve started off in Britain, that first deliver onto the continent, driving to the ferry port at Dover and then emerging in Calais really is quite a nice experience. It’s an awesome experience as your business expands. There’s a skill tree that will unlock longer deliveries or let you begin to deliver heavier or more fragile cargo. The game does a nice job of giving the player a sense of progression. Europe won’t know what’s hit it by the time your finished. Owning your own truck comes with disadvantages but it also opens everything else up. It’s frustrating to be hit with a massive repair bill because someone driving a hatchback has decided to pull out in front of you without a care in the world. Every mistake you make from now on will cause a dent in your bank balance. It also make you become quickly aware that you can no longer break every traffic law and expect someone else to pick up the tab. You’ll still be limited in terms of how far you can drive until you manage to progress and unlock longer routes. The game really gets into its stride once you are able to afford your own truck. Knowing that it is going to pay off eventually, each job taking you closer to your dream of owning your own trucking company, massively helps alleviate any of the frustrations that might be present by how limited you are at the beginning in terms of choice. I never thought I would be happy getting to drive to Carlisle but at least it’s something different.Įven though it’s a grind when you don’t have your own truck, it doesn’t feel that boring. The first job you get that takes you into another country gives you a glimpse of the freedom that you will receive once you purchase your own truck and are able to drive where you want. Driving up and down the motorway between Aberdeen and Edinburgh, and doing this over and over again, can feel like a chore. The first couple of hours of the game can feel tedious. It’s tempting to drive like a complete maniac knowing that the unfortunate company who has hired you will be responsible for any ticket that you receive. The benefit here is that you’re not responsible for any of the costs that you accrue. When you start off playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 you’ll be relying on short-distance contracts. There’s nothing fun to write about when discussing Euro Truck Simulator 2, but trust me, it’s a really good game. Make sure you don’t crash because the repair bills will be eyewatering. You have to make sure you have enough petrol. Much like in real life, if you break the speed limit or run a red light you’ll receive a fine.Īfter a long drive you’ll need to pull over and get some rest otherwise you’ll fall asleep at the wheel. You’ll find yourself barely reaching 40mph, swearing too yourself as you realise you’ve just missed your exit on the motorway and who knows when the next exit is going to appear. It simulates…well driving trucks…in Europe…and it’s the second game. Euro Truck Simulator 2 doesn’t sound fun.
