When I first started playing American Truck Simulator I joked with someone that in order to have fun playing this game Id probably have to have a frontal lobotomy. Though after playing the game a little bit it’s a bit fun, a nice way to relax when I’m otherwise too scatter brained to do much. It’s a nice mindless game, that’s not mindless at the same time. You got to be careful driving the truck.
When I talked about the game on IRC some former truck drivers pointed out discrepancies where it’s not totally realistic. For example, tractor trailers are designed not to go above 55 mph or so, yet the trucks in the game can go up to the speed limit in some places up to 80mph or more. Ironically before I knew this Id never drive the truck at the upper speed limit because it got twitchy and hard to control and I was afraid I was going to crash.
This is a video of me playing the game:
