Thank You Bus Driver Reviews
Ultimately, Thank You, Bus Driver is not a full-fledged game in any traditional sense or price. What it actually is may be more important for them right now; an assertion of the passion and creativity that Double Fine have as a developer, no matter what the budget or timeframe. A few hours of chaotic fun delivered with signature charm; it’s more of an entertaining curio than anything else. Even so, it is small, but worthy addition to the Double Fine catalogue for fans of the studio and hopefully – a good sign of things to come.
Thank You Bus Driver is another charming game from Double Fine. The studio wasted no time showing that it will continue to put out smaller games that are highly enjoyable and unique in the current gaming landscape. It's a bit repetitive, but it has a charming art style and gameplay that demands you to be attentive to what's both in front and behind you at all times. For how cheap it is, these are the kind of titles that should be appreciated in a time where prices are rising and everything feels rather samey.
Thank You Bus Driver is a $5 run-based transit sim where you slap unruly passengers to keep the peace. Packed with Double Fine's humor, striking rubber-hose art, and chaotic replayability, it's a snack-sized gem.
Thank You Bus Driver features a decent amount of content for what the game is, and I can't imagine the map holding most people's attention much longer anyway, but I still lean toward recommending the game. It can be aggravating, and the presentation can make focusing harder than it needs to be, but it is still a game that's as unique and interesting as it is funny. All of that makes it easier to overlook some of its design quirks, but it still depends on whether or not its brand of frustration speaks to you.
