G2A Pick of the Week: Euro Truck Simulator 2

June 06 2015


Review: Euro Truck Simulator 2: Gold Edition

Every week, Team Liquid will supply you with their pick for the G2A Game of the Week, which you can buy at an extremely discounted rate thanks to the G2A Weekly Sale. This week, we’ve chosen the realistic truck simulator, Euro Truck Simulator 2 (No, I’m not joking). You can get it right now at www.g2a.com/weeklysale for $6.10, a whopping 74% off its usual price.

We’ve seen simulators like Sim City, City Skylines, and even some goofy ones in Goat Simulator. Heck, racing games like Forza could be considered a simulator to some extent, utilizing photorealistic cars and environments to appease the sense. But Truck Simulator is something else entirely. It’s a game where you drive a truck and no, it’s not dumb. It’s surprisingly addicting.




Euro Truck has the player riding in their huge 18-wheeler across some of Europe’s most beautiful terrain. You’ll pass by cars, you’ll drive around ramps, and you’ll make those funky hard turns you’ve always wondered if you could do—I can’t, I just hit curbs and cost myself more repair money.

I kid you not, there’s something magical about driving around in a truck that’s graphically realistic. But it’s not all fun in games at first. The life of a trucker is rough, and everyone has to start somewhere.




When you first boot up the game, you start as some truck jockey, doing menial hauling tasks till you amass the funds to buy yourself your very first rig. Then the real fun begins. You start hunting down contracts, pimping out your truck, and upgrading skills to make your driving life a tad bit easier.

Once contracted, it sounds horrendous to haul load on a 90-minute trek from one part of Europe to the next. But actually, the environment makes it… Exciting. One second, you’re looking at beautiful sunsets, the next, you’re facing rain that could heavily affect driving conditions.




Like I said, some people are into building simulators and racing simulators. But if you want a game that’s surprisingly fun; one that will just leave you at the monitor for hours without notice, then try out Truck Simulator. It’s only $6 at G2A and it’s a good deal because you’ll spend a ton more virtual monies in the game making your truck look fancy.
