  • gameplay
    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of enjoyment and frustration, with players appreciating new mechanics like painting and cleaning but criticizing clunky controls and slow mechanics. Many users express a desire for deeper realism in vehicle wear and tear, while others note technical issues such as low frame rates and bugs that disrupt the experience. Overall, while the game shows potential, it requires significant polish and refinement to enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “Overall, the game is enjoyable, especially the new mechanics of painting and cleaning parts. I would love to see the best version of Car Mechanic Simulator, incorporating all the best elements from the series. By the way, I was surprised by the jumping mechanics; can you really jump?”
    • “So far, I'm very pleased with the mechanics and the variety of things to do. The mechanics for removing engines to renovate them are also good.”
    • “But if you're interested in simulation games or anything related to mechanics, or if you're simply looking to pass some time, this is the game for you. You'll find yourself sucked into just the prologue!”
    • “Unfortunately, this game still needs a lot of polish on just its core mechanics.”
    • “Gameplay is a bit clunky, repetitive, and boring.”
    • “The crushing and restoration mechanics seem overly tedious.”
  • graphics
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users noting that they appear outdated, resembling titles from the early 2000s to 2010s. While some players appreciate the potential of the Unreal Engine 4 visuals, they report significant optimization issues and graphical bugs that hinder gameplay. Overall, the graphics are seen as lacking polish and depth, contributing to a less immersive experience.

    • “Not only are the graphics very great for not even being a full version but also, the mechanics are incredible especially once you get the controls down.”
    • “While the concept for the game is fine, the graphics look good (thanks to Unreal Engine 4).”
    • “I really like this demo, no game issues, nice graphics on my 1080 Ti PC.”
    • “What little I could see of the graphics looks fine, but that doesn't mean a thing if I can't actually open/play the demo.”
    • “Graphics look like a game released between 2000 - 2010.”
    • “For me, it's unplayable; the graphics feel like a 6-year-old game.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its quality and fittingness to the gameplay, with some users highlighting the nostalgic appeal of tracks like "Bitter Sweet Symphony." However, there are concerns regarding the volume levels at the start and the need for better audio controls, including options to adjust or mute the music and tutorial voice. Additionally, players express worries about potential copyright issues related to the music used.

    • “1) has amazing music.”
    • “Music is a nice touch and fitting to the gameplay.”
    • “For those who were teens in the nineties will remember all too well the verve and the song 'Bitter Sweet Symphony'.”
    • “The game starts with really loud music, which can be quite jarring.”
    • “An option to turn off the tutorial voice would also be appreciated, as well as an option in the menu to turn down or off the music. The in-game radio is less than precise and doesn't always seem to affect the opening music.”
    • “I have concerns about licensing for the music and vehicle licensing.”
  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting significant performance issues such as stuttering, frame rate drops, and freezing, particularly in early access stages. While some players experienced smooth gameplay initially, performance deteriorated as the game progressed, leading to frustration. Many reviewers express hope for improvements in future updates, acknowledging the game's developmental status.

    • “I can't make a full comment as it is under development, but it seems like there are serious optimization issues.”
    • “The tutorial is more or less useless and the graphics still need a lot of optimization, so it will be a while before I try and return to this and even longer before I will consider buying it.”
    • “Turned everything down to its lowest settings and the demo suffers from massive stuttering issues, including the mouse stuttering so much I couldn't even get through the first ten minutes of the demo.”
    • “I understand that it's still in early access, but the game freezes whenever you try to go to the main menu, the performance in-game is bad, and the bugs are not exactly few and far between.”
  • stability
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent bugs, crashes, and performance issues, including falling through the ground and low frame rates even on minimal settings. Many players express frustration over the need to restart the game often due to these problems, indicating that the game feels unfinished and in dire need of optimization. Overall, the consensus is that the game is currently plagued by significant stability issues, making it difficult to enjoy the experience.

    • “The game is buggy as hell and I fall through the ground in every save file and can't go back, so I can't get close to 5% of the game done without resetting because I fell through the ground.”
    • “I understand that it's still in early access, but the game freezes whenever you try to go to the main menu, the performance in-game is bad, and the bugs are not exactly few and far between.”
    • “The game is full of bugs, freezes all the time, and needs to be restarted often. Restoration is very basic and underwhelming.”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of this early access game is criticized for being misleading, as it is presented as a finished product despite being unfinished and receiving poor reviews. Users are advised to avoid it unless they are willing to overlook the negative feedback and are interested in trying the game for themselves. Overall, the monetization strategy appears to rely on advertising rather than delivering a polished experience.

    • “While the concept for the game is fine, the graphics look good (thanks to Unreal Engine 4), the early access game that this is advertising is getting very poor reviews... probably because it's been released in an unfinished state on Steam.”
    • “Anyway, no matter how promising it might look, this is just advertising spam and should be avoided unless you want the full game, despise game reviews (so why are you reading mine??) and just want to try it for yourself.”
    • “I can only provide recommendations to games on Steam, not advertising demos.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and boring, with mechanics like crushing and restoration contributing to a sense of monotony. Even those familiar with similar genres feel that the grinding is excessive and detracts from the overall enjoyment.

    • “The demo is very grindy and very boring.”
    • “The crushing and restoration mechanics seem overly tedious.”
    • “I've played some weird games in the past - farming sim, construction sim, gold rush, car mechanic... probably the kind of guy this game was aimed at.”
  • atmosphere
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers consistently praise the game's atmosphere, highlighting its quality and effectiveness in enhancing the overall experience. While some suggest that additional elements could further enrich it, the existing atmosphere is regarded as strong and engaging.

    • “The atmosphere of the game is great.”
    • “But it would certainly add to the atmosphere.”
    • “Atmosphere and assets (still good!)”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is structured as a prologue that serves to introduce players to the game mechanics and narrative context, akin to the beginning of a storybook. However, technical issues such as freezing and vehicle handling detract from the experience, making it challenging to progress smoothly through the tutorial missions. Overall, while the prologue sets the stage for the main events, gameplay frustrations can hinder immersion in the story.

    • “Which is why it's called a prologue (think of a storybook). First, you have the prologue (introduction into the game, how to do this and that, what goes where, going from point A to point B). Then you have the full version (everything becomes unlocked, available for you to use as you progress through career mode). Same thing with a book; after reading the prologue, you now know who's who or what happened before the main events.”
    • “The story feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the characters or care about the outcome.”
    • “The prologue is overly simplistic and fails to engage the player, leaving them uninvested in the main storyline.”
    • “The narrative progression is confusing, and the character motivations are poorly developed, resulting in a lack of emotional impact.”
