Road Maintenance Simulator 2 Winter Services Review Cons:

  • You cannot remap the controls.
  • No graphics settings.
  • Interaction detection is terrible, it took ages for me to just grab the pressure washer as it wouldn’t register.
  • The AI is terrible at driving, they keep their lights on no matter the time of day or weather.
  • Pop-in happens a lot and you do get some hints of slowdown.
  • The tutorial is not great, it’s way too basic and doesn’t give you any hints or tips when you are clearly struggling.
  • Driving is loose but it honestly depends on the vehicle in use as it does vary.
  • The mini-map doesn’t rotate.
  • You can only have American metrics.
  • No shortcuts on the controller for things like changing the song.
  • The controls for indicators are overly complicated.
  • Talking of controls you have to constantly go into the controls and then the seperate vehicle control guide to find out how to do simple tasks.
  • They add the simulator level interactions and mechanics like indicators, and wipers but there are no road rules.
  • Basic tasks are frustrating and the game doesn’t want to help you.
  • The whole game is just a set of tick lists.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
