Euro Truck Simulator 2: Greece was released December 4, so instead of December darkness it’s time for some Mediterranean sun. A longer review is in the works.

I recently got a chance to try out the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and just like its predecessor (which I never played) it is an interesting beast of a game. Difficult, but interesting.
It’s been a bit more than a week since Giants released Farming Simulator 25, so it’s high time for the somewhat more in-depth review of the game as promised. Just follow the link.
For those who have already got the game it can be interesting to know that Giants have made a very nice and useful manual to the game. It can be found at and downloaded from their site.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 was released November 19, but sadly not without certain teething problems. The ones trying to get started with the game on day one found themselves in permanent queues due to overloaded streaming servers. And since the game is entirely dependent on cloud storage and streaming, only using the player’s computer or consol as a thin client, this meant the game becoming more or less unresponsive.
The game itself, once up and running, do look promising utilizing the same real world map data technique as its predecessor MSFS 2020, now combined with more of a career mode.
The new Greece map DLC for Euro Truck Simulator 2 has now got a release date. It will be available for purchase starting December 4th.
Yesterday Giants Software released their latest iteration of Farming Simulator. The new Farming Simulator 25 builds upon the earlier versions in the series and has on top of a selection of the assets which were added through the DLCs to FS22 also a slew of entirely new things.
And of course a real review of the game here is in the works. (Edit: The review can now be found here.)
All three maps which will be available in Farming Simulator 25 now have their separate intro videos.
In order of novelty the first one is the East Asian-inspired Hutan Pantai, which of course will be the perfect map to try out both the new rice crops as well as the new water buffalo livestock.
The second map is the American Riverbend Springs map. Even if maybe not as well-known, there are parts of the US where rice cultivation is possible and this map naturally is depicting one such area.
The third map is the Polish-inspired Zielonka map from the DLC for Farming Simulator 22, now updated to a Farming Simulator 25 map. While maybe not the most natural map to try out the rice on, it will be very good for testing out the new vegetable crops like spinach. Or the goats.
All the maps will of course make use of all the new things coming in Farming Simulator 25, such as the new weather effects, ground deformation, a built-in GPS, and more.
Farming Simulator 25 will be released on 12 November but can already be pre-ordered if you want to start as soon as you can on the 12th.
Frontier’s sequel to their first Planet Coaster game is today released to the world. Just like in its predecessor, the goal is to construct the best – and profitable – park possible.
The spiritual successor to the old Rollercoaster Tycoon games as well as Planet Coaster, Planet Coaster 2 provides the player with the tools to make a detailed theme park filled with rides, food venues, and other attractions.
No, not that kind of trailer. The other, video thing kind. Although there’s at least one trailer to be seen in the trailer.
Farming Simulator 25 will be released November 12.
Happy Halloween to you all! It is the time of year for transporting ghoulish goods across both the US and Europe.
As tradition bids, SCS Software have their usual Halloween hauling event going in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. This year the challenge if you’re connected to their World of Trucks service and using external contracts is to move 13 loads of Halloween cargo between cities of your choice in order to get a couple of nice in-game rewards.
