Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
105 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But I'm writing this because I genuinely want this game to be fixed — the core gameplay is great and it deserves to actually work.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a fine story, but an aspect of truck simulation I could take or leave.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It shows in the absolutely stunning visuals, the decent sized Rig customizations and upgrades available to you, and creative functions of driving a flying Big Rig.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound effects are on point, music REALLY, REALLY fits the tone (I love the soundtrack not because I love this kind of music but because it fits the theme SO well)... controls become pretty intuitive once you get the hang of them, and as mentioned bugs are not game breaking (and will likely be ironed out in updates).
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I highly recommend you play this mixing keyboard & mouse (for menus and first-person) and a controller (for steering your truck).
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game runs at about 30 fps on the Steam Deck while still looking good.
