In the realm of visuals, the new reflections are nice but can be taken further. And here’s where I would like to see the developer take these sims next. But, as SCS has stated, this is just the beginning.

Altogether, these graphics enhancements don’t exactly make Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator suddenly look like next-gen games. They always looked nice, but the revamped skyboxes along with the new lighting technology make these short parts of the virtual day all the more pleasing.

This update has also made reflections more abundant lights on the chassis of vehicles and wet roads turn into beautiful hazy mirrors.
