If Tally-Ho Corner had a hall of shame ViewApp would be its most recent inductee. Yesterday the Viennese studio behind City Transport Simulator released the omnibus component of its latest sim either not realising or not caring that many early adopters…
Early Access Dagger Directive’s first update doesn’t seem to have cured its corpse reanimation problem. Loading still seems to revive fallen foes now and again. The new build doesn’t like old savegames either, so it looks like I’m going to…
The current build of Early Access Dagger Directive – v0.4 – contains one of the most entertaining game bugs I’ve come across in a long time. Unfortunately, it also sports a glitch that brought my campaign to a shuddering halt.
Released yesterday, First Haul, the free Truck World: Australia ‘prologue’, contains quite a few pleasant surprises. For example, I wasn’t expecting…
Compared to the bustling train and tram sim sectors, the bus sim scene has felt pretty stagnant of late. Besides a couple of strong OMSI 2 add-ons, omnibus enthusiasts have had little to get excited about this year. Assuming SimBus…
While FPV SkyDive doesn’t have Liftoff’s aerodynamic authority or Uncrashed’s good looks, it does come with serviceable FMs, entertaining environments, and a hard-to-resist price tag: 0GBP. I’ve been reaching for it pretty regularly of late, and, during a recent session,…

V is for Verisimilitudinous virtual tides. The tiny selection of maritime sims that acknowledge the Moon’s effect on sea levels grew by one late last month. Not only do eSail owners who opt in to the V3 beta get improved…
L is for Light at the end of the tunnel at long last? General Staff: Black Powder’s website and Steam page haven’t been updated in a dishearteningly long time, but recent posts on the Kickstarter page give wargame AI aficionados…
F is for Fourth time lucky? Originally slated for a Q1 2024 release, then rescheduled for September 2024, and, later, May 2025, the sequel to one of Simulatia’s most realistic motoring sims acquired its fourth ETA earlier this week. The…
A is for Adorable Arthurian art attached to abstruse aggro arithmetic. I love Legends of the Round Table’s artwork, animations, and Anna Azéma music and narration, but I’ve not yet warmed to the number-heavy combat maths in the demo for…
You’ve had your chance, SubwaySim 2. Although you come with nicely modelled EMUs, attractive ribbons of Hamburg and Berlin, a replay-friendly timetable mode, imaginative scenarios, and exemplary tutorials, because I can’t seem to get you to run smoothly and look…
