Airport Simulator 3: Day & Night Reviews

Terrible game even the short time I played it I still encountered issues my vehicle got stuck and my map disappeared even when I pressed M for map nothing happened. The tutorial is hopeless. Thankfully I had this on a sale for something like 3 pounds if I was to ever play this again I would want to be paid.

Not a fully developed game. Screen resolution settings are weird, couldn't make ultrawide work. There are non-working buttons on the interface. Gameplay seems to be a tad simplistic, basically drive here, drive there. Refunded

this game is basically unplayable. i didnt realize when i bought this game that all of the airport simulator games are basically scams. i played for about an hour or so and still have not been able to figure out what to do on the 1st objective. the game gives you a simple tutorial and then puts you in the game. and there is no objective! no way point, no hint as to where to go or anything to do. i just drove a luggage car around, eventually figured out where to go, after going around the entire map, and nothing happened. listen to the other reviews, this game is a total scam at this point. i happened to come across someone playing AS on youtube saying it was a scam and then i realized that all of these games are terrible

When things worked, it was actually fun for a bit. But things are constantly not working, the game seems like it is in a pre-alpha stage, things are so buggy almost nothing works correctly about 85% of the time.

Nearly recommended this because I’ve enjoyed playing it eventually after realizing I need to have the employees doing all the work and just managing then versus doing the work myself. Managing the crew works quite well and I enjoyed it. Why is it better to manage, here’s when the problem lies, the game is a buggy mess, most vehicles work ok but there are some that completely break the game. To start you drive the bus, baggage, and fuel truck, appart from them ending up upside down sometimes they work fine for the most part. It’s once you unlock the other vehicles that poop hits the fan. The jetway got stuck in the terminal building and it’s still stuck there, never to be used again, I have to pay to skip that task now, the baggage loaders bug out a lot and will end up as scrap on the map meaning I have to buy/rent a new one and try to ignore the Broken ones. What would change my review to recommend, a simple fix, there is a reset vehicle option but it doesn’t work, if when a vehicle bugs out you could reset it the game would be less frustrating, no idea why the reset option exists, it never works. I’ve posted my issues on the steam discussions and the devs have completely ignored them, this is a dead game for sure. It just needs a few patches and it would be better. I think this game needs to be avoided, if the treat it as managing the airport it works slightly but if you want to do all the driving jobs avoid this completely.

Actalogic used to make janky yet playable games, but since they started publishing under the UIG, UIE and Toplitz names (yes, they're one company) something happened to them. Apart from the "Dynasty" series everything they've turned out in the last five years has by and large been different shades of bad and/or unfinished. For instance, this game is just Airport Simulator 2019 with de-icer trucks and slightly improved visuals...that's it. But is it playable like AS19 was? Heck no. There is no optimization to speak of, fully expect your GPU to turn into a hot plate within five minutes of booting the game up regardless of the limited Unity presets you can pick from. 'Fantastic' and 'Fast' look the same minus shadows. Vehicle handling has gotten worse, with the baggage truck popping 360s if you attempt to brake - not to mention there are no physics on the baggage carts which bounce everywhere with reckless abandon. Buses rake in mechanical damage just being driven in a straight line, I repaired mine one night and it totalled itself driving out of the hangar the next day (!?). AI traffic is still as dumb as a bucket of rocks, traffic jams from AS19 persist here yet manage to be worse due to UIE relocating vehicle spawn points inside unused hangars cuz reasons. The best part? Endless streams of random civilians and airport workers wandering the tarmac flipping everywhere because that's totally a thing in real life. From the hub and reviews, issues with stuck jet bridges are still present despite claims otherwise as well as problems with the new de-icing truck undergoing rapid unscheduled disassembly after leaving a task. Planes can fall through the runway now, something which I never encountered in the previous game. Achievement hunters, as far as I could tell a good portion of the early unlocks do not work. I should have three unlocks yet only have one. Taking a peek at statistics shows that's likely true for many of the long-play (50+hr) ones as well so I'd skip AS3 unless you don't mind a ding against your completion stats. Refund requested. Don't buy this.

Unable to play... every flight is canceled and it hardly lets me do any tasks. Very buggy, not worth the money in it's current state.

This game is listed as version 1.0 but seems more like an Alpha or Early Access version. If it's advertised as Early Access, I know what I'm getting into. My 20 minutes of play time were 10 minutes trying to figure out how to change my widescreen resolution from 5760x1080 to 1920x1080. The game opened so un-optimized that I only saw the options and exist button upon loading. Randomly trying different options by hitting left, right, up and down and applying actually brought me into a viewable screen... The other ten minutes were trying to figure out the tutorial and the non working question marks all over the airport. Using the fast forward option just goes fast forward, regardless if you click to "skip to next event". No indicator as to which gate and airplane you are actually trying to unload. Refund request submitted as this is not a full release that is advertised.

Don't waste your money on this. To put it simply - this isn't even "early access". It's pre-alpha at best. None of the features actually work. "Skip to next task" takes you to the end of the day (skipping all your tasks), clicking "yes" to turning on tutorials doesn't actually turn on the tutorials, there's a bunch of "?" markers everywhere, but no indication on what to do with them, In the event you actually manage to trick the game into turning on the tutorials, you get one version of a tutorial in a red box that can sometimes cover up items on screen you're supposed to access AND a second explanation box that's at the bottom of the screen and extreme difficult to read. Bottom line: game doesn't work. Don't put your money into this.

DO NOT BUY. Game is a complete scam. It barely works and is not at all what they advertise to be. Progress is continuously halted. This is not a release version of a game but maybe an Alpha version they shoved out the door for money. They would have been better off releasing this as "Early Access" and working through its issues with the community. Good luck to anyone still wanting to try. I have requested a refund.
