The ultimate zen game. Turn on some music, buckle in and start truckin. Tons of content. A light management side to the game. Varied environments. Just a cool game to zone out to. Less content than Euro Truck Sim 2 but more familiar if you're an American. Which might be more likable.

Every year I find myself enjoying this game more and more and somehow it's helped translate to real life skills in more ways than I thought. Also one of the rare cases where I believe constant updates and DLC is actually better than making sequels.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Better than you'd think.

Almost bounced off this game because attempting a hard parking job broke my spirit (godspeed anyone that has to do that for a living) but after sucking in my pride and opting out of that I had a really nice time with this! Especially once you get your own truck you get into a nice groove of taking a job, resting, driving to the next business, etc. Wish the default region was more interesting than the American west but I'm sure all the DLC fixes that (and I can see myself bumping this to 5-stars once I buy it all on sale).

Make sure to play this with MLB Radio in the background to really let the immersion set in.

EDIT: Okay yeah 5-stars all the way babey.

Awesome chill game that can be very tranquil driving down the rainy interstate listenin' to the radio. Also great vehicle customization, def with some mods! 4.5/5
