The Real Review

Bus Bound is a solid bus sim that nails the core fantasy of driving officially licensed buses through a vibrant city, but it’s dragged down by persistent technical problems. While people love the actual driving and the city of Emberville, the performance is a mess with widespread complaints about crashes and frame drops, especially on PC. The studio behind it, stillalive, is getting a lot of heat for the state of the launch, making this one to maybe wait on until some patches land.
