What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
Value$1.03/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Reviews74% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
DRMDenuvo
Denuvo copy protection, a small friction discount
Refunds53 of 800 reviews
Well above the typical game's share of reviews from refunded buyers, so the score takes a small dock

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $14.99. That was March 2024. It has been discounted 62 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 30 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 35 percent on value. It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre. The nearest things to it, The Bus ($39.99, scores 19) and Truck & Logistics Simulator ($9.99, scores 29), are both worse buys on this math.

53 of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,725 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 139 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 12 of the 53 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 27 percent of the 1,195 reviews written there were positive, against 74 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

What players say

From a decent feeling and performing simulator; to an absoloutely horrendous pc-killing and plastic feeling piece of abandonware. The beta was more refined than whatever we have now. This game has hit rock bottom, now its digging. Don't waste your time and money

A game made by one person in 2013 is better than this. I would rather suck off Kier Starmer .
