story23 positive mentions
optimization14 negative mentions
  • Driving physics are realistic and enjoyable, with improved handling compared to the first game.
  • Graphics and visual details are good and represent a significant improvement over the original game.
  • The game provides a solid foundation with potential for future improvements, especially as an early access title.
  • Lack of important features such as native VR support, head tracking, and a comprehensive sandbox/free-roam mode.
  • Steering wheel and control support is problematic for many users, with issues in force feedback and button mapping.
  • The map is currently small, content is limited, and the game's penalty/fine system is overly harsh and frustrating.

  • story

    73 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    32% positive mentions, 58% neutral mentions, 10% negative mentions

    The story mode provides a structured, mission-based experience that helps new players learn game mechanics, but it is short, often criticized as simplistic, and sometimes buggy or confusing. Many players appreciate the added purpose and immersion it brings, though some prefer the prior game's open sandbox style and desire a freer driving experience without mandatory story constraints. Overall, while the story adds a fresh element, its limited content and forced presence detract from the game's appeal for those seeking a pure driving simulator.

    • “The story is simple and helpful for learning the game’s dynamics; new players may need it to avoid getting lost, while experienced players can skip to free drive.”
    • “Just finished the story and honestly, I had fun playing!”
    • “One thing I didn’t expect was the story, but now I would say it’s a good addition, because it ties the game together quite nicely.”
    • “Having a story in a game like this always reduces the enjoyment factor, but it's even worse when the story is this trite and unimaginative.”
    • “As an early access game it passes, but I don't recommend buying this game if you're expecting constant playability as the experience is linear; after the story ends there is nothing to do.”
    • “The story uses AI pictures and barely has a story anyway.”

  • graphics

    66 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    41% positive mentions, 48% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    City Car Driving 2.0 features noticeably improved and visually pleasing graphics compared to its predecessor, with a more alive and realistic city environment and detailed car models. However, some users report occasional stuttering, choppy rendering in certain areas, and suboptimal optimization causing performance issues even on high-end hardware. While praised for its graphical fidelity and improvements, the visuals sometimes fall short of expectations and suffer from inconsistencies, indicating room for further refinement and better performance optimization.

    • “The graphics look great, the city feels alive with lots of traffic and pedestrians, and the driving physics feel much more realistic than in the first game.”
    • “Overall, city car driving 2.0 offers a solid and enjoyable driving simulation experience with impressive graphics, an excellent city concept, and fun missions.”
    • “The graphics and the user interface have drastically improved since the last game.”
    • “Bad quality and graphics.”
    • “The graphics in the game have nothing in common with the screenshots shown on the Steam store page.”
    • “There are some graphical artifacts that need to be improved, especially long distance rendering.”

  • optimization

    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 51% neutral mentions, 29% negative mentions

    Optimization reviews for the game are mixed to negative, with many users reporting stuttering, poor performance even on high-end hardware, and general lack of polish in physics and UI. While some players experience smooth gameplay with decent frame rates, others note significant frame drops, bugs, and a need to lower graphical settings considerably. Overall, optimization is seen as a major area needing improvement before full release, though some hope exists for future patches to address these issues.

    • “Sure, there are some bugs and clunkiness when it comes to the UI, optimization, and even physics, but that's completely forgivable at this stage of development.”
    • “Performance is really good at max settings for flat screen on RX 9070 XT, but is a bit lacking on VR; I had to turn down settings to medium and set render resolution to 70% of eyes.”
    • “The graphics look great overall, and it runs smoothly on epic settings even on an older RTX 3080.”
    • “Abysmal optimization: the game stutters even on high-end hardware that easily handles recent AAA titles.”
    • “Instead, I got an unoptimized, broken mess that should have stayed in development for at least another two years.”
    • “The optimization is terrible, to say the least.”

    17% positive mentions, 70% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The gameplay in City Car Driving 2.0 offers a decent, casual driving experience with good graphics but is criticized for flawed physics, unrefined mechanics, and limited content. It serves well as a basic driving tutorial focusing on traffic rules rather than a true simulator, with driving wheel controls recommended. Overall, it is viewed as mediocre compared to its predecessor and other simulation titles, needing improvement in realism, mechanics, and variety.

    • “The quests and missions are okay for some casual, relaxing gameplay, and it's alright if you just want to mess around a bit.”
    • “The gameplay is good, performance is more than adequate, and as you can see, I'm not exactly on a NASA PC.”
    • “The focus here is on improving your driving skills, following traffic rules, and experiencing realistic driving mechanics—not causing destruction or running over NPCs like in an open-world action game.”
    • “With this I mean the physics and the driving mechanics, where even my dad as a very experienced driver said it was dogsh*t.”
    • “On top of that, the driving mechanics are awful.”
    • “And the shifting mechanics feel terrible.”

  • stability

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

    The game's stability is inconsistent, with some users experiencing significant bugs and glitches, particularly in story mode, while others report minimal issues. Despite being in early access, the game is considered buggy and unfinished by many, leading to frustration over delays and missing features.

    • “So to dumb it down, I think it’s okay but it’s buggy.”
    • “You can have some fun with the game but it is missing sandbox mode and the story mode is a bit buggy.”
    • “I understand that it's in early access, but the game has been delayed multiple times and has been in development for far too long to be released in such an unfinished and buggy state.”

  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, -34% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The music in the game is generally seen as a suitable and enjoyable soundtrack, though some players find it forgettable or generic. However, the option to play custom or real radio stations is appreciated, enhancing the overall audio experience.

    • “My personal rating: music 10/10. It was a nice and expected soundtrack for this game.”
    • “Radio is generic, with some random beats, but that's fine as we can play our own music or stream real radio stations (like in ETS).”
    • “I don't even remember if there's music. Even if there is, it doesn't connect with the player.”
    • “Radio is generic, with some random beats, but that's fine since we can play our own music or stream real radio stations (like in ETS).”

  • monetization

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

    Users criticize the monetization aspect as misleading, feeling the game’s promotional claims are deceptive and primarily serve to mask aggressive or unfair monetization practices.

  • humor

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

    The humor in the game is well-received, featuring funny dialogues that enhance the story and contribute to an enjoyable experience.
