  • Developers are responsive and actively releasing frequent updates and bug fixes based on community feedback.

  • The game suffers from numerous bugs, glitches, and poor optimization causing crashes, low frame rates, and progression blockers.
  • Tutorials and UI are inadequate, providing insufficient guidance and making early gameplay confusing and difficult to navigate.

    The gameplay of the VR Car Mechanic Simulator is generally appreciated for its immersive and authentic mechanic experience, especially by fans and professional mechanics, but it is often criticized for being buggy, having performance issues, and featuring unintuitive controls and menus. While some find the mechanics fun and engaging after overcoming a steep learning curve, others feel the VR interactions lack realism and polish, with many calling for improvements, better tutorials, and more content. Continuous updates have addressed some issues, making the gameplay more enjoyable, but it remains a somewhat basic and occasionally frustrating simulation.

    • “For the first 2 hours into the game, I was blown away; the in-game mechanics are amazing and it truly brings Car Mechanic Simulator to the next level.”
    • “After playing CMSVR patch 1.06, I will now edit my review to be positive. All of the fixes and debugging they have done has made the game both fun and playable again. I highly recommend playing CMSVR if you're a car guy. The best feature they implemented to fix bugs and glitches is a button that restarts the game without closing it, fixing issues effectively. I hope to see great things released for the game, including DLC from CMS18 and stable gameplay where the reset button becomes redundant.”
    • “This game is getting better every patch, I have well over 200 hours on Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 and the VR option is more and better than the vanilla game.”
    • “This game has horrible, unplayable, non-intuitive play mechanics.”
    • “If pointing a laser out of the end of your finger and magically unscrewing bolts is a "simulator", then being a mechanic is easy.”
    • “It's buggy, performance is bad in areas, and no thought seems to have gone into the VR mechanics for the game.”

  • stability

    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    3% positive mentions, -1% neutral mentions, 98% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, glitches, crashes, and poor optimization, especially in its VR version, leading to frustrating and sometimes unplayable experiences. While some updates have improved performance and fixed many problems, the game still struggles with inconsistent framerates and buggy mechanics, making it difficult to fully recommend in its current state.

    • “I've had it for a while now and recently decided to play it, but honestly it's a lot buggier than I hoped. Things as simple and mandatory as the keyboard on the virtual computer don't work, so I cannot order or even search for parts. Additionally, there are really low frame rates in some areas and very high frame rates in others (my PC is good). The optimization is pretty bad, and the game only boots properly about half the time, often requiring about 5 reboots just to get it running. Even then, it's a gamble whether the game stays playable.”
    • “The game is a buggy mess and glitches even on a PC that exceeds the recommended specs; it remains very laggy and unplayable.”
    • “At first I wasn't going to get this game because many reviews said it was buggy and not working. After some updates I tried it out, but the VR port is still very buggy and frustrating, making me quit playing. The execution was poor, and I can't recommend this version, especially if you love the regular game—it will break your heart.”

  • optimization

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    35% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    Optimization for the game is currently inconsistent, with frequent bugs, unstable performance, and notable frame drops even on high-end PCs, particularly in VR modes and certain setups. While some users report improved performance after updates or using specific hardware, many still experience stuttering, crashes, and control issues. Ongoing patches show promise, but the game remains poorly optimized overall, especially for VR.

    • “Very well done and well optimized!”
    • “The game is constantly receiving updates almost weekly, and it's being optimized all the time, so seeing this definitely makes me want to recommend the game.”
    • “Edit: went and tried the game with my Rift CV1 and performance was flawless, so I have a feeling it may have more to do with WMR and the Reverb G2 I used to initially try the game.”
    • “I've had it for a while now and I only recently decided to play it, but honestly it's a lot buggier than I was hoping. Things as simple and mandatory as the keyboard on the virtual computer don’t work, so I cannot order or even search for parts. Additionally, there are really low frame rates in some areas and really high frames in others (my PC is actually quite good). The optimization is pretty bad, and the game is about 50/50 on booting. I often have to reboot about 5 times just to get it running properly, and even then it’s a gamble whether it stays playable.”
    • “Unplayable. I literally cannot move without the game freezing and then stuttering.”
    • “This game was very buggy and unplayable on my setup, with a lot of stuttering that caused me to get motion sickness quite quickly, whereas most games take much longer to do so.”

  • graphics

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    31% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions

    The game's graphics are generally praised for their immersive and detailed visuals, especially in VR, but performance varies significantly depending on hardware and settings. While high-end setups can run the game smoothly with impressive visuals, lower-end or improperly optimized configurations suffer from poor frame rates and lighting issues. Overall, the graphics quality is solid but marred by inconsistent performance and limited customization options.

    • “It feels amazing to walk around in the garage and see everything like you're there with such great graphics in VR.”
    • “On my RTX 3080, I was getting a steady 90 fps for the most part on high graphical settings.”
    • “Nice graphically, runs like a charm maxed out on the G2.”
    • “I have a decent graphics card, but even at the lowest graphics settings I was getting at best 6 to 8 fps when I turned my head or started moving. The UI is nearly unusable as well.”
    • “Also, the graphics are janky and the lighting is horrible. I'm using an Index with a 2080ti, so this is not due to an underpowered setup.”
    • “With a decent rig, graphics degraded to literal pixels on pixels, and I got only 2 fps.”

  • story

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    27% positive mentions, 73% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story is generally considered fun and an improvement over the Quest version; however, technical performance issues on the Oculus Quest 2, such as lag and motion sickness, impact the overall experience for some players. Those with higher-end setups like the Index or a gaming PC tend to have a smoother playthrough.

  • music

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    Users have mixed opinions on the game's music: some appreciate the ability to add their own playlists and find the music enjoyable, while others find it repetitive or annoying with limited control over volume or track selection. The game does allow music to be turned off in settings, but some feel the constant background music detracts from the experience.

    • “Switching out the music for my own playlist makes my time just fly by.”
    • “Good music too!”
    • “You can turn the music off in this game in the main menu settings (as well as by turning off the radio in the garage).”
    • “Clunky controls and no music.”
    • “I can't play this game with that music blaring the entire time.”
    • “I can't stand the loud ohhh wohhhh waaaa woohhhh music that constantly plays.”

  • emotional

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users express mixed emotions, with some feeling disappointed due to motion sickness and controller issues, leading to frustration and refunds; overall, the emotional experience is dampened by discomfort and unfulfilled expectations.

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the VR version can feel more tedious compared to the non-VR version due to some mechanics, but the overall experience remains enjoyable. Players appreciate the game for its fun factor rather than strict simulation of a typically tedious job.

    • “Some of the mechanics are a bit tedious in VR.”
    • “Makes it a little more tedious than the non-VR version.”
    • “It's already really fun—please don't let folks who want it to be a perfect simulator for a job that is inherently tedious take away your opportunity to enjoy this game for what it is.”

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers tremendous replayability thanks to its open-ended design, making each playthrough a fun and varied experience.

    • “All in all though, it's a fun experience, and has tremendous replay value due to the open-ended nature of it.”

  • monetization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users perceive the monetization approach as aggressive and exploitative, viewing the game as a cash grab rather than a genuine addition or update to the series.

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is recognized for its amusing moments, such as exaggerated actions, but some users feel certain comedic elements may not align well with typical gameplay expectations.

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users appreciate the game's atmosphere, noting it adds to their overall enjoyment and immersion.
