  • Graphics and visuals show a significant improvement over the original game, providing a realistic and immersive city environment.
  • Driving physics and mechanics offer a decent base, with some players finding the experience smooth and enjoyable, especially when using steering wheels.
  • The inclusion of story mode with missions adds variety compared to the original, and the game has good potential to evolve with upcoming content updates.
  • The game suffers from poor optimization, causing performance issues including stuttering and crashes, even on high-end systems.
  • Force feedback and steering wheel support are problematic or limited for many users, affecting the realism and playability of driving controls.
  • Content is currently very limited (small map, few cars, lack of sandbox/free-roam mode), and the strict fine and driving test systems frustrate players, reducing overall enjoyment.

    The story mode in the game is a surprising but divisive addition, offering fun missions and an engaging narrative, though it is considered short and somewhat buggy by many players. While some appreciate the structured driving challenges and immersive city setting, others feel the story detracts from the core driving simulation experience and miss the free-roam sandbox mode of the previous game. Overall, the story mode adds purpose and variety but needs expansion, polish, and an optional sandbox mode to fully satisfy fans.

    • “The story mode was a welcome surprise, and the traffic AI is generally good, which helps make the driving feel more realistic.”
    • “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.”
    • “Overall, the story mode has been enjoyable, and I passed the cargo license on my first try (first try after figuring out what 'turn right on the roundabout' means, which is 'take first exit', apparently).”
    • “I finished the storyline in 3 hours.”
    • “As an early access game it's passable, but I don't recommend buying this game if you expect constant playability as the experience is linear, after the story ends there is nothing to do.”
    • “Too much emphasis on backstory.”

    The graphics show significant improvement over the original game, offering visually impressive environments and realistic cityscapes that run smoothly on many systems, even at high settings. However, optimization issues persist, with performance sometimes lagging or stuttering despite good visual fidelity, and some users note discrepancies between in-game visuals and promotional screenshots. Overall, while the graphics are praised for their quality and atmosphere, performance and consistency still need refinement.

    • “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.”
    • “The graphics are much better compared to the original City Car Driving, and the car handling is clearly improved as well.”
    • “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 of CCD1 may look shabby today but it definitely meets this standard.”
    • “The graphics in the game have nothing in common with the screenshots shown on the Steam store page.”
    • “Even on the lowest settings, I can't get more than 80fps, which seems strange since the graphics are already awful on low.”
  • optimization

    Optimization of the game is widely viewed as inconsistent, with many users criticizing poor performance, stuttering, and high hardware demands despite impressive graphics, especially on UE5. Some report smooth gameplay on high-end setups with DLSS support, but overall optimization feels lacking, leading to frustrations about frame drops, poor VR performance, and inadequate support for wheel peripherals. While there is potential for improvement, the current state is considered subpar and in need of significant enhancements before full release.

    • “Very well optimized.”
    • “From what I played, optimization is good, as is wheel integration (Moza R3).”
    • “The performance is quite okay as well in 4K - around 60fps on high graphics (no upscaling) and around 70fps using max graphics with XeSS ultra quality scaling.”
    • “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.”
    • “On top of that, the optimization is very poor, there are noticeable performance issues, and the physics system falls below expectations.”

    The gameplay receives mixed reviews, with some praising its focus on realistic driving mechanics and skill improvement, while others criticize the physics and driving mechanics as subpar and less realistic than comparable simulators. Performance is generally adequate, but many feel the gameplay lacks depth and authenticity, especially for those seeking a true simulation experience.

    • “The gameplay is good, performance is more than adequate, and as you can see, I'm not exactly on a NASA PC.”
    • “I can run it on ultra settings with no issues, and I've been really enjoying both the gameplay and the story so far.”
    • “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.”
    • “The physics and driving mechanics are terrible; even my dad, a very experienced driver, said it was dogshit.”
    • “The game mechanics are not those of a simulator but rather a regular racing game, which lacks realistic car behavior.”
    • “Aside from the graphics, almost every aspect of the gameplay is worse than the first game.”
  • stability

    The game's stability is mixed, with some users experiencing minimal bugs despite its early access status, while others report frequent glitches and buggy gameplay, especially in story mode. Despite multiple delays, the game feels unfinished to some players, impacting the overall experience.

    • “You can have some fun with the game but it is missing sandbox mode and the story mode is a bit buggy.”
    • “Or it's just a buggy mess as of now.”
    • “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

    The music in the game is generally seen as a decent, fitting soundtrack, with some users noting it can feel generic or unmemorable. However, the option to play custom music or stream real radio stations adds a positive aspect to the audio experience.

    • “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, some random beats, but that's fine as we can play our own music or stream real radio stations (like in ETS).”
