The gameplay of Main Assembly is characterized by its creative building mechanics and extensive freedom for experimentation, allowing players to construct a wide variety of vehicles and contraptions. However, many users find the building system awkward and the driving mechanics lacking, with some comparing it unfavorably to similar titles like Scrap Mechanic and Trailmakers. While the game offers a unique visual programming interface and potential for complex creations, it also suffers from bugs and quality of life issues that detract from the overall experience.
