I’ll admit it... I hadn’t touched Euro Truck Simulator 2 in a while. But when I saw they dropped the Greece DLC, I couldn’t resist. And wow, was it worth firing up the ol’ rig again! ETS2 didn’t just remind me why I loved it in the first place, it gave me the full Greek trucking experience.

The AI drivers in this game? They’re not AI anymore. They’re koutsoura (stubborn logs) with a driver’s license. Tailgating me like I owe them toll money, overtaking on blind corners with the grace of a souvlaki spinning on a stick, and stopping randomly in the middle of the road, this DLC has brought the chaotic beauty of Greek roads to life. It’s so real, I kept checking my mirrors to see if a family of goats was about to cross.

And oh, the joy of finally driving like a proper Greek trucker. Speed limits? Just decorative signs to match the scenery. Lane markings? Merely friendly suggestions. Traffic rules? Suggestions from the EU we politely ignore. I’ve been tailgating cars for miles and swerving around roundabouts like I’m late for a coffee at the kafenio. It’s beautiful chaos.

The landscapes are breathtaking, but let’s be honest—I’m too busy trying to keep the AI drivers from stealing my cargo or my will to live. And yet, I love every minute of it. The Greece DLC brought me back to ETS2, but this chaotic authenticity is why I’ll stay. 12/10, would let AI drivers nearly run me off a cliff again.

Disclaimer: Yes, I’m Greek. And yes, this review is a lovingly exaggerated tribute to our unique driving habits. Please don't tailgate me IRL... unless you're bringing souvlaki.

Agree re the AI (which seems to get more bizarre with each DLC) but hesitate to ascribe this to the lovely if somewhat erratic Greek drivers.
