RECYCLE Reviews

This is one of the games that I found that is the most realistic trash truck simulator that I have ever played.

Really fun game, but ashame that there is no more update to this game... Would love to see some DLC or something for this game, I just don't want to see this game go to... well... Literal Dump.

Might not be the best in graphics but the gameplay and the management are super!Easy to understand and as a bonus an awesome soundtrack!PS- i love the routes by the sea and river

First off it should be noted I like sims, this is not the first sim I have played and have spent many hours on Farm sinulator and Euro truck. However.... There is no way the developer has tested the game play on 50 PCs as they claim. I think they have simply installed on 50 PCs and checked the start up screen loads. This game is not finished. Far from it. Everybody who has bought the game is being used as beta testers. The game sort of works but has too many erros too often. Everybody has reported that the crane truck crashes the game when being unloaded - this is something you would expect to have been picked up in testing. They claim a ptach is on the way and they seem to have had no problem replcating the crash so It really would have been picked up in a even poorly done test phase. My trucks on auto now randomly claim the wrong garbage is being dumped at the wrong place when its not. General waste to the landfills is correct and has been for the last 5 in game days. Now every other dump is wrong apprently. Driving the organic truck and no matter where I park the guy on the back can not get off the truck due to a none existant obstruction. Take the dumper to the incinerator and try to switch back to the crane without driving back to the landfill. Game hangs then crashes. The phyiscs system is ♥♥♥♥. Cars have infinate mass as do street signs. My truck must weigh 15 tons and I have 10 tons or garbage in the back. Why do I bounce off of street signs!!! Yes I am not supposed to be driving it like GTA but a street sign should not stop my truck. Everything is far to happy to ragdoll for the slightest reason. I can make my bulldozer bounce 10 feet high over the landfill. If you stick the handbrake on while unloading a truck at the dump you fire off like a rocket towards the perimeter fance ragdolling along the way. Graphics are extremely poorly optimsed. I have a PC well beyond the recommended specs but get frequent half second freezes and when using the crane to the load the dump truck the FPS drop to about 10 when the claw is full of garbage. The only thing the devs have done well is the trailer video. It makes the game look far better and more interesting then it is. False representation in the extreme. This game needs at least another 12 months of coding just to be playable and maybe even enjoyable.

When I first came in to playing, I thought I wasn't going to like it very much. Now, garbage truck simulators can seem boring, but are one of my favourite games because I like repetitiveness. This game does look and feel older--which I like--but I know a lot of people would be turned away by it. However, it does have flaws and is a bit of a grind. I experienced a glitch where I got stuck in the side of the road, and took several minutes to get myself unstuck. However, there is a "Reset Vehicle" option. A very annoying glitch is that sometimes traffic lights get stuck at a certain signal, but can be on the next cycle. It's a great game to relax and drive garbage trucks. Love it, even though it has a few glitches!

Actalogic / UIG actually made a decent game? Yikes. Recycle no longer has their name on the store page but it was indeed a product of theirs. This is nothing like their other titles, it runs fine for the most part and has lots of content...along with minimal bugs. You start out with one company base and a single garbage truck, and probably will do routes yourself until you expand a little more. Trucks are driven with WASD, followed by using an overlay to order your guys around for grabbing bins and dumping them. Your routes can be planned down to their pickup days as well as what garbage types you wish to gather. As you progress you'll rake in enough cash to buy and manage landfills as well as processing facilities like incinerators or recycling plants. Admittedly this might sound kind of boring but it's actually pretty relaxing if played while listening to a podcast or music as it's fairly hard to go bankrupt unless you're super careless. Now there are a few bugs, but they're mostly minor. One broken achievement, this tracks correctly in-game but refuses to unlock on Steam. Every now and then your landfills will look empty of refuse but magically fill back up the next day. Two traffic lights I know of tend to freeze rather than cycle properly, often causing fines if you don't notice and roll through their intersections. Last but unfortunately most prevalent, intermittent lockups caused by Autosaving - no crashing here thankfully, but this does get a little irritating. I picked this up years ago for 50% off, considering it regularly goes for 80% off during the larger sales now you might as well wait and pick Recycle up for a song. It's a solid management sim with a nicely detailed city to do garbage runs in if direct control's more your thing.

One of those games I wish I didn't buy. No blinkers, flashers, flashing lights, NOTHING!. The guy takes forever to haul the garbage. This should not be listed as a simulation game because there is no simulation, not to mention the graphics sucks. I am a garbage man in NY and if i moved that slow i would fired so quick. You can't control the garbage man only the driver which sucks. No first person cam no moving the cam around just that horrible view. I did not have any problems with the game loading or working or anything it works perfectly fine for me just sucks. Horrid game do not buy!

Howdy. I purchased this title on its release day on Steam, and boy was I disappointed. As a QA analyst by profession I was truly disturbed by how unfinished this game truly was at release. Mercifully I was not beset by the crashes many of the other users have been afflicted by, but the game itself was clearly rushed through QA if it was even tested at all. AI trucks not having cockpits, immediate resolution of AI routes, incorrect amounts fo profit returned from AI routes.. The list goes on and on. I truly, personally gave up after attempting to dump in the landfill with the trash going under my truck preventing me from ever moving again. A gamebreaker if I've never seen one. Until this game is properly tested and patched do yourself a favor and stay away.

After 1st downloading the game it didnt work we had to manaully put something into the config to get it to work, You cant controll the cameras, You cant put it into 1st person I cant even be bothered to play it becuase of this tbh Unless the add better cameras i simply wouldnt bother!

Well, I have learned another lesson about buying games on the first day of release....Don't do it. This game is broken and crashes without making it to the main menu. Edit: Due to negative comments, I must add that I am not the bad guy here. This game was NOT in early access. But I expected some flaws, as these simulator games are hit or miss on the quality. I purchased a finished game, I can't wait until its finished so I can write a proper review of my gameplay experience. Unfotunately for now, I cannot recommed anyone purchase this because I am not the only one having problems with the game crashing. When it is patched so I can play a few hours, I will edit my review. Edit 9/12/2014 The patch came out 8 days after release so here is my review- It's about what I expected when I purchased this title. Good graphics, probably the best feature of the game. There still are some bugs that need to be worked out. I am satisfied with the game for the price but you have to like simulator games. I am not changing the thumbs down because, at the time I purchased, there were no reviews. I posted this review because I use the review system to help me decide if I should purchase the game, and for all the other gamers that do the same, I was providing valuable information to help them as they have helped me. Edit 9/12/2014 The patch was out yesterday and now the game will play. However, there are still game-breaking bugs and crashes.About 10 hours in, and this will be the 3rd time I have had to restart because of crashing during loading a saved game or a bug with the truck being empty but when I try to dump a container in it, it says the truck is full. Buy at your own risk.
