But was it all smooth asphalt, or did they crash on the first corner?

You are a settler wandering the country after a devastating apocalypse, narrowly avoiding further catastrophes and starvation. In front of you is a town with 18 beds and toilets a little too close to the water supply. Their flag is brilliant pink with some kind of irradiated rodent on it. This is the town of Arechester, my town. And this is only part of the creative freedom awarded to your city in Surviving The Aftermath.
Being created as a prequel to The New Order allowed MachineGames to almost treat Wolfenstein: The Old Blood as an origin story for the hero, B.J. Blazkowicz.
Bus Simulator on Xbox One is going to new heights and with the Official Map Extension you get access to a bunch of new missions, areas, and much fun to be had, either alone or online with others.
