Airport Simulator 2015 Reviews

Good game but it gets very boring and repetative. The only things to do are drive the various vehicles and once you have done it about 3 times, you've practically finished the game. You can upgrade the vehicle speed with your money but thats about it. There is only one airport you are in with only a relativly small play area

Horrid to play on a laptop but when i got a gaming PC, it was good but i still do not recommend this game because it is just only one thing to do and the graphics arent like the 2014 one. You cant have helpers, you only do one thing to a plane and it calls it a day. DO NOT BUY!

This is fairly boring. To call it a simulator is already a stretch anyway. -Terrible controls on everything (not and exaggeration... absolute horrible control) -Everything is a Point A- Point B style of mission so very boring -All tasks are mind numbing boring after the first 45 min -Icing on the cake is nothing is even appealing to look at Im only continuing to play because im a dog shit achievement hunter and only spent $2 on this. 3/10 I do not recommend this.

Sadly there is no good airport simulator games made yet. This game gets boring too quick. Nice way to take a look how ground jobs is handeled. Hope that gameteam is adding some point some terminal building and free hands to make your own airport etc.

Its rubbish from the first addition, the pushback in particular doesnt pushback properly, i am very disappointed with this game it needs a lot of updates. The begining is dead easy until u come to snow clearer, it is very hard to control and clear the snow. then this pushback it is impossible. Update is required urgently.

Enjoyable for roughly ten hours if you're looking to casually play, but a solid grind past this if you want to earn all of the achievements. Note here there is one broken achievement in AS15, it tracks and unlocks correctly in-game but not on Steam so unless you're fine with using SAM or similar you completionists may wish to skip this title. Easily one of the better airport games on here at the moment, but that's not saying a whole lot with the current crop of contenders. This one went for a slightly different setting, what appears to be a euro-styled airport during winter. Most operations take place at night despite there being a day/night cycle as this only changes on game load. Expect to be doing piles of tarmac snow removal and cargo shuttling while dodging often suicidal AI vehicles which have no drivers (yours are empty too, hello Maximum Overdrive). Using tugs is quite fun as AI tugs and any planes free wheeling on the tarmac tend to ignore you, so things can get a little tense sometimes. Bonus points for some vehicles having optional in-cab view with functional mirrors. No bugs that I encountered, apart from one CTD and the de-icing truck's arm occasionally freezing up near plane wings. Solid buy when on sale, a bit steep at the full price...which they seem to increase a little every year. That's different lol.

Okay, so I had high hopes given the great visuals and soundtrack of the first, even if it could use more in the simulating department...this was not what I was talking about. But then again, after writing this review for the first time, I found out that a completely different developer created this...go figure... The graphics are great, technologically speaking, but it is way off; It gives a disco atmosphere to the game that simply is out of place. For the soundtrack a disco theme was chosen as well, and even though it doesn't sound half bad it still is way of. The game mechanics themselves remind me of those Facebook Flash games or mobile apps; It involves simple tasks that just need to be done quickly. That in itself is not so bad, but for the price of $15 or so I'd expect a lot more. The developers seem to have no idea what the difference between center of mass and center of rotation is, not to mention how a vehicle handles or ac- / deceleration works don't really help either. Expect controls to be fully registered by the game, but react late, accumulating reactions and spitting them in your face whenever the engine feels like it. Airplanes seem to fall out of the sky, land perfectly safe, go from 150km/h to 10km/h within 10 meters (visual judgement, but I hope you can understand this looks TERRIBLE)... There are missions that involve guiding an airplane to its gate by driving a car in front of it. Although I can understand why, I cannot wrap my head around the fact that the mission is more about driving through checkpoints as fast as you can and not about actually guiding the airplane to its gate... The snow cleaning is half-decent, in that, as a Farming Simulator player I am accustomed to those kind of drive-over-messy-area-with-device-turned-on-until-counter-reaches-zero missions, but still... Some things I enjoyed were the missions where an airplane needed to be refueled or recharged using a fuel-truck or mobile generator, where you actually need to plug stuff in, but these missions are cut off once the plane is fueled / charged and you don't get to clean up behind you. This brings me to another point, nothing you do actually matters. It's just grinding missions for cash (for upgrading equipment so it runs faster) and experience (for unlocking new equipment). There is no AI you can employ so you can handle more airplanes at the same time, even though the airport has 16 (as far as I could see) gates, and you have no say in what airplane goes where, because you have no control over the assets at said gate. Conclusion, I'd like the developers of 2014 to be able to continue on the Airport Simulator series, as they apparently know a lot more about what they're doing... NOTE: As stated in the first paragraph, I found out this was by a completely different developer than the 2014 version, and even though I adjusted this review there may still be some references to that game or comparisons that I overlooked. Take it as a sign that those developers have a lot more going for them than these clowns...

Not worth buying, lots of simple bugs and just a simple arcade game which i wouldnt call simulator at all.

I have made a mistake by purchasing this game. Its not worth to spend 13$ for it. It cannot be termed as airport simulator. If the game is like creation of airport, runways, accepting contracts for various airline co's to land their flights, fuel contracts, repairing, managing time schedules of different flights departures in consideration to arrivals, passanger lounges, creating waiting area and all the things that are related to airport, then it can be called as airport sumulator game. In this game player is required to do same action again and again and that irritates. Its a waster of money.

Let me start by saying I am a HUGE Viscera Cleanup Detail fan, (250hrs logged). Just to let you know that I don't mind menial task simulators. Keep that in mind when you read the rest of the review. I caved and bought this game. Not sure if it was a good idea or not. Leaning more to not... It's an amusing game for a little while, but becomes extremely repetitive. This game has virtually no challenge or consequence to it what so ever: - The objective times are stupidly generous. If you can't finish the objective with 2/3 - 1/2 of the allotted time left, then you are doing something very wrong. - There are virtually no penalties. You can drive a car into a planes engine at 100mph with no consequence. You can ignore the paths and drive anywhere you want with no penalty. (I cut a snow blower in front of a taxi-ing plane) - You can leave your vehicle anywhere, even behind the wheels of the plane. - Clearing snow is just silly. You can literally just go to the area, start the engine and do doughnuts. Physics is bad: - The Lead car randomly slides sideways at low speed. - If you jack-knife something with a trailer while reversing, the trailers just slide with no penalty to speed. I managed to finish career mode in under 4hrs. This game is great if you have a couple mins to kill but any sustained play gets tedious. If you are interested in this game, wait till it's $5 or less.
