The gameplay of Truck Mechanic Simulator 2015 has been criticized for being a lackluster experience compared to its predecessor, Car Mechanic Simulator 2015, with many users noting its outdated mechanics, clunky user interface, and unrealistic pricing. While some players find it enjoyable and a decent introduction to truck mechanics, others feel it lacks depth and content, often suggesting it would have been better as a DLC rather than a standalone title. Overall, the game is seen as needing significant updates and improvements to meet the expectations set by previous titles in the series.
“I enjoy the challenge and experience of truck mechanic, just as much as I do car mechanic, but like car mechanic this game needs to update.”
“This can be a fun and interesting simulator/game, but when you've played the car mechanic games, this feels a bit lackluster.”
“But at last I recommend this game for all of you that love trucks and who want to learn a little bit more about the mechanics in a truck!”
“The user interface isn't the most intuitive, making gameplay cumbersome and frustrating.”
“This game needs to play 'catch-up' and use the engine that Car Mechanic Simulator '18 is using, allowing for mods and considering a multiplayer option to service more vehicles at a time in larger garages.”
“Gameplay is a little stale, and you can take items off you shouldn't be able to if proper sequence is observed.”

The graphics have been widely criticized for being choppy, laggy, and of poor quality, even on the highest settings, which is disappointing given the game's relatively recent release. Users noted a lack of smoothness in visuals, dull surface textures, and an overuse of bright primary colors that detract from the overall experience. Many expected significant improvements in graphics compared to older titles, but instead found them to be worse than previous iterations.
“The graphics are good, but the gameplay and UI are very slow and clunky.”
“Also, seeing that this game was made around the time CMS 2015 was released, I was expecting the new engine and better graphics.”
“The graphics are worse than CMS15 and getting stuff done is a slower process.”
“Graphics are poor, even on highest settings, which is abysmal for a game only a few years old.”
“Overuse of primary colors and bright, unrealistic visuals along with rough edges instead of smooth curves are disappointing to say the least.”
