We play video games for many reasons. For some, it's about learning and mastering a game's systems, and the feeling of empowerment and accomplishment that comes with it. For others, it's about being whisked away to another world and escaping the grey routine of everyday life. And then there are the simulator fans. These guys don't want to fly starships, run criminal empires, or pretend they're windswept warriors from the Wilderness of Death: they want to empty garbage cans, fertilize crops, and put tarmac on roads.
Niche simulators are quietly successful on PC, and there's an astonishing variety of them. There's OMSI, which sees you driving a bus around the streets of 1980s Berlin. Or how about Garbage Truck Simulator, which asks the question: Do you have what it takes to be a trash tycoon? And if you've ever wondered why train conductors earn $75,000 a year, try playing London Underground Simulator. It took me almost an hour, with a manual, just to start the engine. Then I overshot Edgware Road by about half a mile.
Simulators, and the people who play them, are easy targets for piss-taking. They're the contemporary equivalent of the stereotypical train-spotting, Thermos-clutching anorak of modern English folklore. But thanks to YouTube, that's slowly changing. Suddenly these games are being exposed to audiences of millions, and normal people are starting to play them and realize that, hey, some of them are actually pretty good.
I don't play many sims, but I was intrigued by Euro Truck Simulator 2. Not because I had some burning desire to drive heavy goods vehicles around Germany, but because I heard from a few people that, honestly, seriously, it's really good. So I had a go, as a joke, and ended up playing it for over 30 hours. That's an entire day and some change I've spent driving along imaginary highways, obeying the speed limit, delivering wood shavings to Stuttgart and hauling powdered milk to Aberdeen. Time I could have spent hunting space pirates in Elite, battling demons in Dark Souls, or just going outside.
Most of your time is spent on long highways. Here, your only interaction is keeping your wheels straight, managing your speed, and occasionally changing lanes. Like driving on an actual highways, then. But it's here that the game is at its most hypnotic. The muffled rumble of the tarmac under your wheels, the swish of the wipers, raindrops tapping at the windows. It's bizarrely soothing, like a screensaver for your brain. You can listen to live radio from whichever country you're in, and I have fond memories of screaming down a rain-soaked autobahn listening to Fleetwood Mac on a German classic rock station.
It's so relaxing, in fact, that it's become an unexpected form of meditation for me. If I'm stressed out or feeling overworked I'll go and drive down the freeway for half an hour in a big fucking truck. It clears my mind, and eventually the only thing I'm worried about is where the next service station is, because I'm low on gas, or if I'm going to get these bags of sand to Rotterdam in time. Don't bother paying a guy in flip-flops $75 a session for transcendental meditation lessons: Install Euro Truck Simulator 2 instead.
But then it catches you off guard. Your GPS sends you down some narrow, twisting country road in the middle of nowhere. It's the dead of night and you've got 20 tons of explosives resting precariously on your trailer. Then your headlights blink off because you battered into wall earlier and damaged your engine. Now you have to guide your lump of a truck down this nightmare backroad with instinct alone. But then, mercifully, the lights flicker back to life. Between all the lengthy, uneventful drives down bleak highways, there are these rare, but unforgettable, little moments of heart-in-mouth excitement.
If this wasn't thrilling enough, the game also has support for the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. So, naturally, I had to give it a go. Combined with a steering wheel and pedals, it was remarkably convincing. I could look around the cabin by moving my head, and even lean out of the side window to look back at my trailer. After about 20 minutes I'd genuinely tricked my brain into thinking it was a physical space, and at one point I was so confused I tried to lean my arm on the non-existent window to my left. Using a pioneering VR headset to drive slowly down a street in a truck might sound like a gross misuse of the technology, but it's impressive as hell.
Euro Truck Simulator (known as Big Rig Europe in North America) is a 2008 truck simulation game developed and published by SCS Software. The game is set in a depiction of Europe, where players drive a variety of semi-trucks and trailers across a depiction of the continent, visiting the continent's cities, picking up and delivering cargo for various companies. More than 300,000 copies of the game have been sold in Europe.[1][better source needed] It is the first instalment in the Truck Simulator series of games.
Euro Truck Simulator features a realistic experience for driving trucks around Europe. The player has to deliver goods around Europe while obeying street signs, highway rules and managing their fuel levels. Euro Truck Simulator has different truck models from different real companies. Each truck has its own engine power, tires and size that affect driving. The game doesn't feature an ending and allows players to continue after having completed all objectives.
The game features European truck models with working instruments such as flashing indicators, temperature and low fuel warning lights, wipers, and gauges. The trucks included are the Mercedes-Benz Actros (known as Majestic), the Renault Magnum (known as Runner), the Scania R-series (known as Swift) and the Volvo FH16 (known as Valiant).
The game received mostly positive reviews from critics at the time of its release. Reviewers highlighted the game's good graphics, the game world and a "satisfying driving experience". They also mentioned the long driving times and repetitive gameplay as uninteresting for those not fans of transportation simulators.[2][better source needed]

Euro Truck Simulator 2 is one of the greatest video games ever made, and I say that without a trace of irony. Niche subject matter aside, it's just an exceptional driving game, with a vast and seamless open world to explore, weighty, nuanced handling, and a laid-back pace that is utterly transfixing. Even if you don't care about trucks, trust me: make time to play it, even if it's just the free demo on Steam. You'll be amazed at how enjoyable these long, largely uneventful cross-country drives can be.
It all started with a few tonnes of chemicals. I was hired to deliver this volatile, oversized cargo from Dresden to Paris, which should have been an easy job. Just a short hop over the border and back in time for tea. But before I'd even reached France, my truck was badly damaged due to some careless driving on my part. I think I was trying to simultaneously watch an episode of something on Netflix, which is a very bad idea for anyone in command of a large, dangerous heavy goods vehicle.
When it gets dark in ETS2, it gets really dark. This is one of the few video games where the night time is as dark as it should be, rather than just a very heavy shade of blue. I learn this the hard way as I'm dragging this immense trailer filled with dangerous chemicals down the tightest, narrowest country road, and my knackered engine decides to repeatedly shut itself off. When it does, the headlights blink out, and I'm suddenly plunged into an inky black darkness. The road ahead just disappears.
