If you’ve read my articles surrounding Power Wash Simulator, you’ll know I’m quite fond of the simple and uncompetitive nature of the game. So what makes this driving employment simulator so enjoyable? Well, I’ll break it up into two categories relaxation and exploration starting with the former. So this is all well and good for Truckers and dreamers, but for those like myself who’ve never thought about trucking as a career choice or even dreamed of being a trucker, why do we enjoy the game? Relaxation: Sit Back and Drive Interestingly even after getting into their career as a trucker, some such as this one will happily still play ETS 2 despite the average person who would play games to forget about work, I guess this is what happens when you love your job. Trucking however is a different kind of job to those two and often a dream job for many with Euro Truck Sim acting as a great way to enjoy that dream before they achieve their HGV licence. I wouldn’t want a game simulating writing articles or doing the home shop picking at Tesco, although if it was scored for knocking down customers or arguing with the elderly I’d be topping the leaderboard. You’re simulating something that someone does to make a living and in many cases, they wouldn’t find it “fun”. When you look at gaming it is often viewed as an escape from reality which places simulators into a strange place as you are playing a job with no pay and for your own enjoyment. Of course, doing both of those things can be fun but not doing those things and following the speed limit is also surprisingly enjoyable. On paper, this seems very dull as you’re just driving with the most action being ploughing through a family of 4 going the wrong way down a slip road, or disabling the speed limiter and giving it the full send from Helsinki to Madrid which often always leads to an incident with a toll booth. Your goal is to drive your truck delivering various things from pallets, petrol, grains, cars and diggers to many cities throughout Central Europe, the UK and beyond with several DLCs. SCS Software’s Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a straightforward concept as any simulator game is. With this rise in interest, I decided to reinstall the game again, grab the latest Iberia and Road to The Black Sea DLC and hit the road. Recently some members of our Discord have been getting into Euro Truck Simulator 2 which despite having over 200+ hours in the game, I hadn’t played since I was in my first year of College around 3 years ago.
