  • gameplay
    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the car trade simulator has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it fast-paced yet lacking depth and intuitive mechanics. While some appreciate the core mechanics and potential for engaging gameplay, others criticize repetitive dialogues, a lack of meaningful interactions, and the overall simplistic clicking nature of the game. Overall, players feel that significant updates and improvements are needed to enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “Addicting, good mechanics, fast-paced, love it.”
    • “The good news is - the game mechanics are what I'd like to play.”
    • “Tutorial gives you a decent generalization on how to deal with core mechanics, allowing you to at least understand moving and interacting.”
    • “Car trade simulator seemed like an interesting game, but it kind of disappointed me with the graphic style and the gameplay.”
    • “Boring, needs some serious updates, dialogues with customers are annoying (all the same), you can't buy new cars, you don't have your saloon... lots of stuff can be added to improve gameplay.”
    • “It feels like you have seen everything after 10 minutes of gameplay and that's kind of sad.”
  • story
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the car trader simulator has received mixed reviews, with many players feeling that it is overly forced and restrictive, particularly during the prologue. Critics express frustration over the lack of freedom to engage with the game outside of the narrative, which detracts from the management gameplay experience. While some hope for a more sandbox-style approach in the full game, the current implementation has left players wanting more flexibility and less reliance on a scripted storyline.

    • “A management game where I buy and sell cars, hire staff, and occasionally progress the story while listening to elevator music.”
    • “I just hope they do a sandbox kind of story where your actions have consequences in the game.”
    • “If you start the campaign, you do not get a tutorial but jump into the story on day one in my playthrough.”
    • “The biggest thing that put a distaste in my mouth was in regards to the story.”
    • “It appeared, in the short time that I played, that the game forces you to participate in the story regardless of whether you want to or not.”
    • “Well, it's a strange game with an awkward forced story and a weird top-down map kind of puzzle turn-based vibe to it.”
  • graphics
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users noting that they appear dated and lack polish, often comparing them to simplistic designs reminiscent of MS Paint. While some appreciate the visual details, particularly the inclusion of real car images, others criticize the overall aesthetic and technical issues, such as resolution glitches. Overall, the graphics serve their purpose in setting the mood for the gameplay, but they fall short of modern standards.

    • “The game overall is visually appealing with nice graphical details; I like the actual pictures of real cars!”
    • “The graphics are a good mood-setter for a sleazy car dealership in spite of the fact that they're not the greatest nor most aesthetically pleasing graphics gamers will ever encounter.”
    • “Graphics are somewhat dated, but then there isn't much to this game graphics-wise.”
    • “Car trade simulator seemed like an interesting game, but it kind of disappointed me with its graphic style and gameplay.”
    • “The graphics were made in MS Paint.”
    • “Tutorial is still broken for 3440x1440 resolution (game runs to max 2560x1440p it seems) which leads to graphical glitches; however, changing the resolution is now also broken.”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is characterized as a single loop of lounge music that effectively complements the big city atmosphere, enhancing the overall experience despite the basic sound effects. While some users found the music to be repetitive, it was generally well-received for its fitting ambiance.

    • “The sounds are basic, but the developer aced it with the music.”
    • “A management game where I buy and sell cars, hire staff, and occasionally progress the story while listening to elevator music.”
    • “The music is a single loop of lounge music that perfectly fits the mood for a big city setting.”
    • “The music is a single loop of lounge music that perfectly fits the mood for a big city setting.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is currently hindered by numerous glitches, particularly in the tutorial, which is notably broken at higher resolutions like 3440x1440. Users report graphical issues and resolution changes that exacerbate the problems, leading to a frustrating experience despite some positive feedback on other aspects of the game.

    • “It's a demo download - the game has too many click glitches.”
    • “The tutorial is still broken for 3440x1440 resolution (the game runs to a max of 2560x1440p it seems), which leads to graphical glitches; however, changing the resolution is now also broken.”
    • “I can't play the tutorial; it's so buggy, but I've been waiting for a while, so I hope it improves.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and dull, with some expressing hope that future updates will enhance the experience. The current mechanics require excessive effort to navigate menus, contributing to a sense of frustration. Overall, while the potential for improvement exists, the grinding elements are currently a significant drawback.

    • “You've tapped on a concept that people want to play, then made it as tedious and dull as possible.”
    • “While it does get a bit grindy, I am confident the final game will have many more features.”
    • “Having to look for these details in the garage menu is tedious.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by the amusing interactions surrounding pricing, where characters consistently request lower prices despite having no set budget, showcasing a clever and relatable sense of humor.

    • “It is also funny that they keep asking for low prices, but nobody actually has a budget; they always accept a car and start asking for lower prices.”
    • “I can tell you guys have a sense of humor!”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's performance has been criticized for being poor, but users note that updates and optimizations are being released at a relatively fast pace.

    • “I appreciate how the developers prioritize performance improvements in each update.”
    • “Bad performance.”
    • “The frequency of updates and optimization is relatively fast.”
  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the monetization strategy, noting that advertising efforts are ineffective in attracting the right customers. They highlight a disconnect between the ads and consumer behavior, as potential buyers prefer to search online for specific vehicles rather than responding to general advertisements.

    • “I tried advertising many times, and it won't bring in the calls.”
    • “You can put ads out, but it doesn't matter. If you have three sedans for sale, you will only have customers looking for SUVs, station wagons, or hatchbacks. In modern car buying, you go online, find the car you want, and call the dealership to find out if it's there. You don't ask them for any random car.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While users appreciate the quality of photos and car models, they feel that additional elements are needed to enhance the game's overall atmosphere and realism.

    • “The photos and car models are impressive, but there should be more elements to enhance the realistic atmosphere of the game.”
    • “The photos and car models are very good, but there should be much more to enhance the realistic atmosphere of the game.”
