Euro Truck Simulator 2 takes first place because it pairs the strongest review record on this list with a low price and modest hardware needs. SCS Software sends you across more than 60 European cities, from the UK and Germany to Italy and Poland, delivering cargo on real road networks with hundreds of landmarks. The driving is only half the game: deliveries fund a company that grows into a fleet, with garages to buy and drivers to hire. Convoy mode lets friends drive and chat together online, and Steam Workshop plus a level editor add community content. 97% of 147,525 English Steam reviews are positive, and the minimum spec asks for 8 GB of RAM and 25 GB of storage. The base game lists at $19.99 on Steam, though it was on a temporary sale when we checked. The catch is the catalog of 108 DLC, mostly map expansions, which costs far more than the base game.
