This game is fantastic. It's kind of like ETS2 smushed together with Transport Fever 2, with a topping of PS1-level graphics. It's pretty open ended with no end game, much like the prior two games I mentioned. Play until you've accomplished whatever goals you set out for yourself.
You can just drive around delivering pizzas all day if you want, you can collect garbage all day if you want, you can set up production chains and earn a ton of money. But your goal absolutely does not have to be earning a ton of money. You can do anything you want, don't feel like you have to work towards earning a lot of money. It has racing, you could race all day if you wanted and just earn enough money for your vehicle upgrades or to buy new vehicles.
I'm kind of doing whatever I feel like right now. I did set up an extremely simple production chains (containers to meat factory, meat boxes to supermarket) but I haven't done anything else in terms of company automation. Ideally, I'd like to eventually supply both pizza shops on the north island and deliver pizzas all day with my scooter. The meat boxes to supermarket is really just to do something until I can get cheese boxes automated.
But I do see one issue and it's that nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, pays anywhere near as much as garbage collection. You could completely ignore the economy and just collect garbage all day and get wildly rich. I tried doing crude oil to fuel as a test (since those are the big bucks in other logistics games, like Transport Fever 2.) I bought a tanker, filled it up with as much crude as I could then dropped it off. It took me almost a half hour real time to get across the map to drop it off and I got a whole 4000 coins. In a half hour, I could easily earn 80k with garbage pickup, maybe more. However, garbage pickup is a pretty boring thing to do and I only do it when I want an expensive vehicle. But I don't mind too much because I bought the tanker to start cheese automation, I just did oil as a side quest, so to speak. They should possibly rebalance it so something like fuel/oil is actually worth doing. Maybe add an extra 0 to the payout.
Also, I know there's exploits that let you earn hundreds of thousands per delivery but I am very much not interested in exploits. For the time being, I plan to play the game as intended. Maybe in the future I'll try some exploits just to see what they're like, but I definitely am not doing that anytime soon.
I will also note I only play in single player because I want to build everything by myself, I don't want to go on a server where someone already has tons of stuff set up. That seems like it defeats the point of the game to me.
On the technical side, the game runs great. No issues with framerate or anything like that.
Overall, 10/10 would highly recommend if you like any sort of logistics or trucking game.
