Pros

  • Plenty of new jobs to take on in the newly added cities.
  • Travel down more European roads than before.
  • This DLC also patches a few bugs and issues within the core game.
  • With the addition of these eastern countries, the player can truly explore Europe as a cargo trucker.

Cons

  • This is mostly just new content; Do not expect to see any major changes to the core gameplay mechanics.
  • While there are new models and textures in the new maps, most of the visuals are recycled from the core game.

"Euro Truck Simulator 2: Going East" is the first expansion, in the form of DLC, for the popular European 18-wheeler simulation game, Euro Truck Sim 2. While the vanilla game focuses mainly on western European countries, this expansion adds several new cities and highways from eastern Europe.

The new areas included in this DLC are Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. Prior to this expansion, these areas were not accessible to the player. While the roadways were there, it was not possible to travel on them because of "invisible walls" placed by the developers. With this new expansion, many of those inaccessible roadways are now wide open for the player to explore and to haul cargo around on. There are 13 new cities, including Warsaw, Krakow, Ostrava, Budapest, and Kosice, to name a few of the major ones.

New countries mean new cities and new cargo jobs for the player to profit from. This is one of those expansions that you absolutely have to have in order to fully enjoy the game. These new eastern maps offer new roadway textures and roadside models, adding to the immersion of the whole game. Now the player can travel with cargo from deep into eastern Europe and take it all the way back to the west for a nice haul.

This expansion should be considered a "content expansion." This means that the player should not expect a lot of new changes to the core gameplay. It is essentially the same game as before, but with new eastern European maps. However, it offers enough value to be worth the purchase price. This is a must-have expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2.
