  • gameplay
    71 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers a unique mechanic-focused rally experience with detailed car servicing and a satisfying progression loop, appealing mainly to fans of mechanic simulators. However, it is often criticized for lacking polish, limited content, bugs, and failure to deliver on expected features compared to similar titles like Car Mechanic Simulator 2021. While some find it addictive and appreciate the added realism, others view it as underdeveloped and recommend waiting for further updates or alternative games.

    • “Where this game shines is in its more evolved game mechanics, such as the ability to remove subassemblies for quick swap-outs, and connecting / disconnecting fluid tubes.”
    • “The whole gameplay loop of doing rally to rally is quite fun for a game you can return to every couple weeks just to relax and you don’t even have to understand anything about cars.”
    • “Theres a ton of detail on the rally cars, all of which look like the real thing, including wires and hoses which a lot of other mechanic games skip.”
    • “I have about 150 hours in Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 (CMS 2021), and I can confidently say this game is pretty terrible.”
    • “I bought this game thinking it would be like Car Mechanic Simulator but more detailed; I was very disappointed to find a cheap re-skin of it instead.”
    • “You are not a mechanic; you are the mechanic's low wage worker who is just doing the requested work.”
  • optimization
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Optimization in the game is mixed, with some users reporting good performance and smooth gameplay, while others experience bugs, poor optimization, and inconsistent part durability affecting rally performance. Additionally, high-end PCs sometimes face overpriced features and subpar performance. Overall, optimization needs improvement to provide a more stable and challenging experience.

    • “Performance parts are available to upgrade vehicles.”
    • “You can reach gold tier with your starting car (provided you use performance parts to increase its rating), but what you do in the first hour is repeated.”
    • “The game also runs really well, with good optimization, so you can enjoy it without any problems.”
    • “This is still riddled with poor performance and bugs that break gameplay!”
    • “So game needs a lot of listening to public opinion, more in-depth stuff like parts condition actually having meaning on car performance, needs to be much harder to win.”
    • “Overpriced, low performance on high-end PC.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are praised for being amazing and creating a great atmosphere, though some elements like the AI-generated artwork and certain visual depictions, such as the rally race graphic, feel less polished and could benefit from improvement or professional art.

    • “Great game..graphics are amazing...only downside is no engine stand..need to be able to remove engine to work on it”
    • “The graphic depicting the rally race is in need of upgrading to something a bit more entertaining.”
    • “The visuals and overall atmosphere are great too!”
    • “Oh, and the AI artwork slop others already mentioned is really weird and doesn't paint the developers in the best light.”
    • “Just pay an artist if you want artwork in your game.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Grinding in the game can become tedious and boring due to frequent part wear, especially engine internals, requiring constant repairs. However, it's less tedious compared to other similar titles, and achievement-based exploration helps mitigate the repetitiveness. Having additional support in the garage would improve the experience.

    • “The game becomes tedious and boring due to the many parts that systematically tear down, especially the engine's internals. Having an extra hand outside of the rallies (in the garage) would be helpful to reduce the grinding.”
    • “Grinding feels repetitive because you have to constantly fix and replace parts, which can be a time sink and detracts from the racing experience.”
    • “While not as tedious as some other management simulation games, the grind to unlock achievements or progress by collecting large amounts of items can still feel repetitive and slow.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is generally stable with a satisfying gameplay loop, though it experiences occasional glitches like floating bolts and a buggy paint/decal system that may improve with future updates.

  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers minimal replayability, as there is little content or incentive to engage with once all objectives are completed.

    • “Just not much to do once you've completed everything, so minimal replayability”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is minimal and primarily serves as a backdrop for the tutorial, focusing on practical tasks like repairing and maintaining the rally car rather than narrative development.

  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users praise the game for its impressive visuals and engaging overall atmosphere, enhancing the immersive experience.

    • “The visuals and overall atmosphere are great too!”
