The one major issue with the console version of Surgeon Simulator 2 is that there appears to be a lack of precision when it comes to using a controller rather than a keyboard and mouse. This is more a limitation of the hardware but it can make precise tasks harder than they should be, so it can prove to be a bit frustrating for those used to playing on PC. Another gripe is the fact that not much is done with the ability to move around other than trying to find items for surgery or ID cards to get through doors to the next area. With surgery being by far the most fun and engaging part of the gameplay, it is strange that so much emphasis is put on these rather grating puzzles.
Where Bus Simulator 21 excels is in providing a relaxing and strangely soothing experience, much like the Euro Truck Simulator series. Slowly driving around a city and picking up passengers can be more calming than expected, even with all the distractions and extra elements that have to be managed. Of course, that’s only when the game actually works properly and doesn’t suffer from any of the performance and technical issues. Until they are fixed with a patch, Bus Simulator 21 might be more of a headache than it is worth, but it will likely prove oddly therapeutic for some, which means even in its buggy state it still may merit a play depending on what a user is looking for.
