While I didn’t really have any interest in a bundle of truck simulators, I thought that someone else in my life might. When we were snowed in last weekend, I activated a few of the Steam codes to try these out.
Woodcutter Simulator 2013 wouldn't run at all on either of my computers (running Win7 and Win10).
I was able to run Professional Farmer 2014 and Warehouse and Logistics Simulator, and they were both really rather terrible. First-person view, clunky mouse-and-keyboard controls, everything is slow-moving and you can't even see the truck you're supposedly operating. Granted, I jumped straight in without doing the tutorial, but I can’t imagine these actually become fun at any point.
Which makes me wonder, who were they even aiming these things at? I got this bundle (Two bucks!) because I thought the games might be simple enough to appeal to ARR, but they have no controller support and far too many odd button combinations for him to handle, plus you can hardly tell you're in a truck. Who is capable enough to play this sort of thing, and patient enough to do so, yet still actually interested in a truck simulator?
There are half a dozen other titles in the bundle, but I didn't even bother adding them to my Steam library. If anyone thinks this is actually appealing, you're welcome to the Steam codes.
