The gameplay of *Computer Repair Shop* is generally enjoyable, featuring a satisfying loop of cleaning, diagnosing, and repairing computers without overwhelming players with complex mechanics. However, it suffers from bugs that can disrupt the experience, such as losing unique items, and a basic tutorial that leaves players unclear on objectives. Despite these issues, many find the gameplay addictive and entertaining, though balance problems persist.

- “Even after all that, it still does not help that the tutorial was so basic that when you get into gameplay you have no idea what needs to be done or how!”
