I tried Bus Simulator 27 on PC, and it's a super relaxing game... Until it just isn't

I remember the first time I tried Bus Simulator 21, with the first thought being "how is this going to be fun?" Turns out it was — mostly —and now there's a new version coming later this year.

Bus Simulator 27 has a free demo available now as part of Steam Next Fest. Since it's been a few years since I got behind the virtual wheel, I thought I'd give it a try. And you can too by grabbing it from Steam before June 22.
