Bus Simulator 2023 Reviews

Hello, this isn’t much of a review but I used to play this game so much before the update but when the update released I always find my self wanting to play it but there’s a glitch. When I open the game, it says that I need to turn on my Wi-Fi, then I realize that my wife is already on, I tried restarting, turning off and on the Wi-Fi, starting the game with Wi-Fi off then turning it on, but it just won’t let me play the gameee! Please fix this bug or tell me why it says this.

Thanks,

This game is great I was wondering if it’s possible can we type in our own Destination sign on the bus? And also can you guys increase the passenger capacity on the buses, allow the buses the to be full with passengers especially on the Articulator Bus. Can you guys make it possible for us to still pick up Passengers during Free Ride Mode Please?

The only drawback is sometimes you have to step hard on the brakes and the ppl on the bus are way too sensitive. Could you add more cities like Los Angeles Dallas Chicago New York London etc? Also what’s with the cars taking a right turn from the left lane? I’ve been docked points because of crashes & slamming on the brakes. FIX IT!!!!!

Actually, I want to give a one-star game, but I know it's not easy for developers to make a game, but I want to ask how to solve the problem of not being able to connect to the server.

Overall this game is totally worth playing hope to see more routes in future updates plus more cities and the option of choosing to play in the US or overseas other than that keep it going 😁😁😁😁😁😁🌟

Apparently there was a problem with the game but the great devs replied and promised to fix it! This shows what great service they give. 😁

If you add an American School Bus with both top front and rear lights operating when you’re about to make a stop, I’ll add one more star.
(And please make it the second bus in the garage.)

There is only one problem with it is when I go to a map to play it kicks me out of the game

Game is awesome can you make it to where we can get out the bus during Free ride also I didn’t break and the game took 25$ away from me for hard break but I never even breaded

Can you make real transit buses like mta,cta and pace and etc and can you make a button so you can open the doors by yourself?

Me Personally I think it is a fun game but there is many bugs and the people driving to school. You get to explore different countries and cities. I personally Recommend it

I really like this game, but it feels like you always get penalized when even slightly pressing the brakes. Please fix.

When i want to play the game it just takes me out the whole game and then my phone starts glitching and i think if you make it more realistic it will be better

So uh I was playing the game looking at the graphics and I was like “man these graphics are pretty good!” So just wanted to say good job making a good game!

Honestly is a great game. If they were to add a highway this game could have potential. The buses are a bit overpriced but other than that its honestly fun!

Please add daily rewards. The game is fantastic, Along with the details you add in the game. So please add some daily rewards, And have a good day, Ovilex Software

Hello, developer!I am a player from China
I hope you can increase your Chinese language, thank you.

It deserved a lot of stars and it’s awesome game I love it so much and thank you I hope u continue improve this beautiful game

If possible can you add a backup camera for the bus sim 2023

The network is often disconnected and does not load out please fix it

Thanks

The game is really fun and makes me feel like I am a bus driver, but, as with every game, there are some things that could be fixed/refined.
1. The customizable bus is a great way to show style, color, and fanciness; the one thing that could be better is the getting rid of coins. I know that it is a way for the producers to make money off the game, but, why have it there? There are other places where the paying would make more sense.
2. Why must there be a “Subscribe for better things in the game” thing after you sign in? Why have it at all? Money. Money, money, money. Money to the producers. Is it possible to get rid of that?
3. Though the game is lifelike, there is one thing about driving the bus that could change. If you make one wrong moves while driving, you are stuck on the cliff, on the wall, or on the road borders. Could the bus’s stability be at least little better?
4. Could it be possible to put the “Drive” and “Reverse” buttons on the screen at the same time? I like it more the “Move a finger to go backwards or forwards” way. I am always putting my thumb on the brake button thinking it was the reverse button.

That was all. Sorry if it is a lot! I am a little picky about my video games. But seriously, it is a really great game.

It is a extremely good game, but there needs to be some fixes. 1. Can you fix when there are NO people getting onto the bus? Yes, you heard me right. NOBODY. 2. This really isn’t a bug but can you make a multiplayer mode with a microphone and free mode going along with it? 3. When it rains it literally looks like it is permanently raining. Just why is it raining for so long? 4. Can you make more maps? (not off-road ones.) 5. The other drivers are such idiots. Can you make them better? 6. Can you make the buses cheaper pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? 7. When I do multiplayer career, the AI in the bus are just sooooooooooo annoying. (So is the derections.) fix it pleaseeee? 8. I went through ALL the buses and I couldn’t find any school buses.

This game is actually really good. The graphics, the controls, the smoothness of the driving, even the little things like the shutter of the bus every time you have a bump or pothole in the road. But one thing I do have a slight issue with is the AI. They’re dumb. Like that other review, what I’m trynna say about the AI is that they genuinely drive like robots in a linear pattern without any awareness of you. If you fix that, in telling you right now, keep making your games with these same type of sounds, controls, smoothness, graphics, UI, all that. What I would really love to see is a remake of the driving school games with these graphics and controls, that’d be great. Other than that small complaint about the AI peds, this game is a perfect 5/5 stars.

This game is amazing. It has all you’d ever want! You can drive the bus for your career. You can choose the company name and logo. You can even have a free drive. The best part is that the free drive is free of money which is very rare in other driving games. You can choose from so many places around the world to drive your bus. You can also customize your bus however you want and so much more! The game is so neat neat and easy to handle; well, mostly! The buses brakes just need to be held very soon before needed and are pretty hard but otherwise, it’s all great! Me and my family love to play this game and play it all the time! Totally recommend it! Can’t wait for more! 🫶

I LOVEEEE the graphics, very realistic. Even the sounds are so similar to riding on an actual bus when you change the camera angle to inside the bus. But I do have one suggestion. It’s hard to see stop signs snd red lights when you change the camera angle to inside the bus, is it a way to have a mini camera to show a front view of the lights and stop signs, or maybe text in-game to tell us when a stop sign or red light is coming. I find myself losing points when I use the inside camera view (I prefer to use this angle because it’s the most realistic). Other than that I LOVE this game!

So I’m playing the game and I’m just driving until i see the ocean so I drive in it but it just goes to the bottom so if you can make it to when you drive in the water it floats but then slowly starts to sink and when you go into first person there is a window that says break in emergency but it does not break so can you make it to were when you go into the water you can break the window then can you make a mode we’re you can be a passenger and then also we’re the bus crashes as a passenger then can you make a button to fix the bus When it gets stuck and make the busses Less expensive that’s all.

I once downloaded this game two years ago and since then, it’s come a long way. The most recent update was outstanding given the graphics and physics update. At best, I’d even say it’s the best bud simulator thus far but, there’s a lot of flaws. First I’m going to start with this major one. First….If you offload and redownload BusSimulator2023 , it will ERASE all your purchases and your progress on the game. Everytime I login, it reads my apple login but it still erased everything including all of my bus purchases. That’s about $50 lost because of this glitch. I made sure I saved the game before I did any of this in case of this. This would also happen if you change phones. Also the game is in need of bug updates and more interactive features with the bus while driving routes and in free roam. Please help!!!

Hello,
I love this game and everything in it. The only thing that bugs me is the brakes. When I am driving and I lightly tap the brakes the passengers get mad and it’s really annoying, so can you make them less picky.
The maps are big which is awesome I like the busses but can you make double deckers because there so cool and can you make the articulated busses not make you pay for them and instead make you buy them with in game money. The game is AMAZING overall but these are just suggestions and I hope to see them in game, so thank you for reading.

This game is awesome. So detailed and fun to play, graphics are great, sounds are great. But it does have issues. First, there needs to be better bus models. The models available are quite generic, I’ve seen them in other bus games. I want new, more detailed buses. Also, I think it’s ridiculous that you have to pay to get an articulated bus. Next, I would like to see more locations for bus routes. Also, the steering seems a bit too harsh. You have to turn the wheel pretty far to even do a simple turn, I feel like there’s no power steering in the bus. Considering all these issues, I still believe that this is a great, realistic game and I’ll continue to play, but please read my review and consider these changes!

The game it self is really fun. I have a couple of probably implement into your next game update. The first game update that would be nice is having right on red. The next game update that would be nice is not getting breaking tickets. And another would be to make a harder game mode to play in for people that know how to play game the game. The last game update that would be nice is having a couple of U-turn areas and having more roundabouts in the game overall Thank you for this game but once again, it is overall really fun to play but if you can make these updates to the game, it would make it a lot more fun to play please and thank you.

I feel that there 3 thing that the devs can to to improve this game

1. less adds.
Yes I know that how you guys make your money. But must there be an ad at the end of each level.

2. Offline support
The reason why i put offline support because where I life there not much Wi-Fi and and I do try and play this game it says “please Connect to Wi-Fi”, and I kinda hate that idea that nowadays theses games must be connected to Wi-Fi to play.

3. Better graphics for more higher end phones.
As expected for a phone game the graphics are all blocky, not great as PC game. Yes i know that a long stretch comparing a phone game to a PC game but have you seen gensin impact that game has beautiful graphics for a phone-pc game, I know the devs might not have time but if you can add a bit more polygon in your models to make them look a bit more smoother.

Other all then that I think you can have a pretty decent game if you could at lest include 2 of this ideas in your game.

I love Bus Similaroe 2023, the most realistic game ever made, but I have a few suggestions and updates for the game. I will suggest turning right on red in the American cities, also will be great if you add the radio option in the game as well. Both lights in a straight line should turn green. More cities around the world like New York, London, Paris and so on. I think thats all I got for now, if you add these things that I suggested then I would rate it a 5 out of 5(Hope whatever in this review you're reading makes sense)

*~ other than the complaint about the way the a.i will drive, this game is absolutely perfect !! i saw it in an advertisement, and thought that it was for sure fake. absolutely not ! the maps are beautiful, the but even makes realistic noises such as shaking sounds when running into a bump ! it’s so realistic when it rains, and the windshield wipers have a purpose which i haven’t seen in other games ! this is my FAVORITE driving game i have ever downloaded, seriously ! ~*

I have been playing your simulation games since Driving School 2016, and I’ve got to say this is the best one yet! The attention to detail, the amount of things you can do to the bus, just everything is top notch. Really makes me think I’m playing a Bus Sim on PC! The graphics are fantastic. Everything from the weather, to the sounds, to the gameplay it’s self is absolutely astounding for a mobile simulation. Really great work, and hopefully more is added in the near future!

I think the game is nice! It’s a good simulator to play and it has kept me entertained so far. The only issue I really have is that this game isn’t that realistic and no I’m not talking about the graphics quality. If you play career mode you will get points taken off if you brake to hard, take a sharp turn, miss stop sign, etc. However, you don’t get points taken off for driving ridiculously fast and also crashing into a car or anything on the map. Taking points off for these would also be helpful.

He graphics and controls of the game is overall pretty good. A few problems though. The cities (especially the American ones) are pretty bad and seeing European busses drive around in a place like Houston or Boston really doesn’t make sense. I would suggest adding more American style busses to the game and making the cities feel more like the actual thing. Also maybe add more cities like NYC, Lisbon, London, etc

I think there should be an off duty setting where you can drive normal cars too. I love the background settings like the layouts but I would like to drive it in a regular car. I am aware it’s a bus simulator but even in cop games there’s an off duty setting where you can drive regular cars. Other than that I love the game and I have all of your car games as well but none have a city like Texas in the bus simulator

This game is Great overall but I don't think the fact the school buses are pay to win is great for people, you guys advertised it everywhere that you were adding school buses and I'm pretty sure you got alot of new downloads for your app from people who want to use the buses but can't because they just started other then that Great game Ovilex keep up the good work!

Please please please continue doing whatever it is you’re doing. I am so excited for the update, different school buses with an actual working Bus Light System. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for this game. Also if possible, please add more school buses of different variations aside from the ones already in the game, I would love to have a mass selection to choose from

I absolutely love this game. The audio and graphics make the game seem so real. However I can not rate this 5 starts because of a few things. I think there should be more streetlights that turn red and green instead of the lights that just flash yellow. Also, I think there should be more places to drive in, for ex. Paris. If these get implemented into the game, it will definitely be a 5 star game, imo.

I think this game is great. The steering wheel normally works pretty well when driving and the maps are cool but I do have some complaints.

1. The penalties- The penalty’s can be frustrating because of the breaking. If you hold the breaks you will get a -25 dollar penalty for “hard braking”

2. The braking system- The brakes are always either too soft or too hard when you press them. If a car jumps out in front of you there is no way you can stop in time but if you are pulling up to a bus stop it is too strong and you have to “bump” the brakes to not get a penalty. It would be great to be able to control the braking system better.

3. The AI- The ai can be very frustrating. It might be your right of way but you will have an ai t-bone you or cut in front of you in a lane causing you to ram them and get a braking penalty. The ai drive like mad men and unrealistically . For example there may be a red light and it will drive all the way up to the light and then double slam the brake so there is no way you can stop without hitting them.

4. Levels- There are two levels on each map you cannot play unless you buy an expensive bus with actual cash which is very frustrating.

In all this is a great game to play to kill time but there are some issues I wish they would fix.

It truly is a beautiful game but there’s some things I’ve noticed.

1. The traffic density is way too low. I wish there was a way to control that. Like there’s no way you’re driving in London with only 3 other cars on the road.

2. The same goes for pedestrians.

3. I don’t see most of the other vehicles using indicators and they do not stop. They cut across from the wrong lane and crash right into you.

4. The night version should be way darker in order to be realistic.

5. Some of the stop lights in London are very hard to see especially when you pop around a corner and boom, one appears. In the real world, they alert you if there’s gonna be a stop light after a corner.

6. Why are we getting penalized for crossing on orange lights when it is clearly too late to stop. If we brake too hard, penalty. We drive through, penalty.

7. Why have us buy a big ole bus for London which seats 70+ people when we only picked up like 10 passengers?

8. This articulate bus thing is getting annoying when the best routes are locked because you can’t afford the bus.

Otherwise, it is a great game and it is obvious that you guys put in a lot of work.

This is a great game already but their are a few bugs and improvements that should be adjusted. In career mode if you brake to hard you lose money. I am fine with that, but when I use the same brake pressure the whole time I get a hard brake warning. Also when there is a stop sign I stop to 0 mph and it still debits me for not stopping. Overall the game is awesome. The people and graphics are wonderful. I wish their was a mode where you can make your own routes. The game is great so far. But with these features fixed it can be even better.

This game can teach you how to drive how to follow the laws on the street how to drive a bus just like a bus super cool go graphics let you pick everything that you want honestly the best bus game here so fun and educational love this game thinks for reading this god bless you and your family and everyone you love god going to stay with you no matter what I was stressing a lot one time but god came to my rescue and made everything better god bless you

This game is very very fun, and a great game if your bored or looking for something to do, but, please devs, PLEASE, if your going to have NPC’s then program them to check blind spots or not turn RIGHT when your driving up next to them. For ex:
I was driving along the new map 95 interstate, and the long school bus brake checked and turned INTO me as I was driving.
And also, change it so when your going reasonably fast, so when you press the brakes even SLIGHTLY, that it doesn’t say “brakes hard -$50” and turning too.

PLEASE DEVS, READ THIS AND PLEASE CONSIDER CHANGING THESE BUGS AND NPC ISSUES

I love the new style of the game and the new busses! The only major problem I am experiencing is that I had bought the unlock all busses pass in an older version of the game and once I had updated to the newer (current) version of the game, My unlock all busses purchase wasn’t working and I have to buy all the busses again, I tried the restore purchase button multiple times but it didn’t work, I would extremely appreciate if we could find a urgent solution to this issue as I am very disappointed that I spent my money on the older version of the game just for it to be updated out of nowhere and I loose my purchase without any compensation.

All the city’s are awesome. My only problem is the I-95. The cars move 15 to 25 MPH on the interstate! Sometimes the cars even stop in the middle of the road. I am moving a good speed and I have to break really hard to avoid hitting them. The game doesn’t like when you break hard and your riders yell at you and you get 25 points taken from you. Most of the route, I’m driving on the shoulder passing everyone. The I-95 map also feels incomplete. Just remember to avoid the I-95 map, unless Ovilex fixes it.

The game is very VERY solid, there are a few annoyances in the gameplay itself though unfortunately. For one if you have a long straight path and would like to pickup speed you will have to brake very shortly after picking up the adequate speed you wanted. Reason being is because the passengers are very sensitive to braking and braking too hard, the same goes with turning sharp when necessary you’ll be docked a whole star. While you do have the opportunity to regain that star through good driving some levels just aren’t long enough for that.

He ovilex, it’s one of your big players. This game is great and awesome, but there are a few things that would make the game even better.

1. Make the cars actually stop at the stop signs when they are maneuvering the vehicle.
2. Make them use the blinker every Time you turn.
3 the cars actually cross lanes to turn when there is a bus lane without warning - It would be nice if they either stop, or at least slide into the bus lane before doing so.
4. Cops that actually pull other cars and you over when driving fast? That would be more realistic.
5. Don’t electric cars slow down themselves after taking there foot off the power?
6. All of the people look the same. Make them look different.
7. Double decker buses that you can actually buy without spending real money?
8. Articulated buses that don’t require real money?
9. Put actual stores and places in the map.

These are things that will be great in the game for future players to come. Thank you and good day.

I absolutely love this game, because there is so much better than basically everything on BusSimulator2023 Store. The graphics, and the thought that is put into the game is really amazing. All of the camera views are nice and easy and the detail on the interiors of the buses is really well thought out and it’s nice that the interior wasn’t skipped over.

The only thing I would like to see in the future, is making it may be a bit easier to earn money. Right now I only have about three buses and it has taken me a very, very very long time to make enough money to have three buses while I understand having a person on the game longer and having said person view more ads, makes more money I would say that the amount of ads shown, and just in general the amount of time that it takes to earn money kind of makes me wonder off the other apps.
