The gameplay of the used cars simulator offers a blend of vehicle management and light mechanics, focusing on salvaging and reselling cars with a simplified approach that balances accessibility and depth. While the core loop is engaging and addictive, players note that certain mechanics feel rough or incomplete, with issues in driving controls and optimization. Overall, the game shows promise for expansion and refinement, appealing to those interested in a casual yet immersive car simulation experience.
- “The core gameplay loop revolves around acquiring neglected, damaged, or abandoned vehicles and turning them into something valuable.”
- “The system strikes a balance between accessibility and depth, offering enough mechanical detail to feel involved without overwhelming players with extreme realism.”
- “Used cars simulator is a fun mix of mechanic simulator and some survival elements: eat, drink, sleep, and pee.”

- “The driving mechanics are so bad you cannot steer properly.”
- “However, the lack of developed mechanics, new locations, and greater vehicle variety makes the project feel unfinished.”

The game's story is described as straightforward but occasionally slow, with a captivating backdrop centered around used cars. While players appreciate the freedom to explore and engage in side missions, many find the main storyline lacking depth and complexity, often feeling tedious and simplistic. Overall, the narrative has potential but requires more engaging quests and character development to enhance the experience.
- “Story and characters are captivating; everything somehow revolves around used cars.”
- “The story flows well in the background and mostly allows you to roam freely.”
- “The player goes on a misadventure that's part tutorial and part story in an attempt to make a living dealing in cars while also making enough money to buy food, drinks, and (when the need arises) to sleep and pee.”
- “Dialog is cringe and the story is lame.”
- “The current storyline is too short and ends too quickly.”
- “The main quests are relatively simple and can be completed pretty quickly.”

The graphics of the game have received largely negative feedback, with many users noting that they appear outdated, reminiscent of titles from 2010, and lacking in optimization. Players report significant performance issues, including low frame rates and graphical inconsistencies, which detract from the overall experience. While some appreciate the potential for improvement, the current state of the graphics is seen as a major drawback, especially for a game in early access.
- “The modern graphics engine does a good job of realistically portraying vehicle behavior.”
- “Graphics are ok, the gameplay is fun.”
- “ The graphics are decent, controls are intuitive, and the missions are super diverse.”
- “It seems like no amount of graphics tweaking can make this game stable at all.”
- “Graphics are very inconsistent and optimization non-existent.”
- “Graphics from 2010, no form of anti-aliasing or edge polishing system. The performance is poor compared to graphics from 2010, and even a 3090 or 4090 player struggles to obtain over 60 fps. Based on the graphics, I should have over 300+ fps. I can compare the graphics to CS 1.6, which performed better in fps. Even if it is early access, I don't think they will deliver what they promised.”

The game's optimization is widely criticized, with many players reporting severe stuttering, inconsistent graphics, and poor performance even on high-end systems. While some acknowledge minor improvements, the overall consensus is that the game is currently unplayable for many, leading to recommendations against purchasing until significant optimization updates are made. Despite its potential, the performance issues overshadow the gameplay experience, leaving players frustrated.
- “I hope the developers focus on optimization in the next updates, because this game has real potential if it runs smoothly.”
- “While the gameplay isn't quite smooth right now, and even my RTX 5060 machine stutters occasionally, indicating a need for optimization, I am not bored at all.”
- “In this case, I don't mean 'potential' as code for 'it's really jank now but could really be polished up.' It's got some issues, yes (the pop-in is crazy and needs some optimization) but it's got a lot of charm and I can tell that a lot of effort was put into this.”
- “This game is in dire need of optimization.”
- “Graphics are very inconsistent and optimization non-existent.”
- “You get constant stuttering and lagging, despite the GPU and CPU not even being at 30% usage, which is reflective of simply having spaghetti coding in the game.”

The game is described as enjoyable and engaging, with many finding joy in its lighthearted moments and surprises, although some feel the overall experience could be more substantial.

- “There is some humor, some satisfaction in a job well done, and even a couple of surprises if you're curious enough to explore!”
- “It's very interactable actually (opening doors, closets, faucets, usable toilets and beds, light switches) and there are secrets and easter eggs everywhere (last time I was looking around for interesting things, I was high and spent almost five minutes laughing at those cute inflatable penguins in the pool :D).”
- “Not to mention, this game is hilarious.”
stability

Players report a mix of frustrating and amusing glitches, but overall, the experience is considered manageable, with potential for improvement as updates are released.
- “It’s just an interesting game to say that it’s not too polished but not too bad at the same time, but still has some bugs and glitches here and there. Hell, my PC even forced me out of the game while driving. It's an okay game for now, and I’ll leave a negative review for now; I might change it in the future if this game gets worked on a little more.”
- “Right now, there are funny glitches that can be frustrating.”
- “Apart from a few bugs and glitches expected for an early access game, it really wasn't that bad.”

Many express frustration with the lack of quality in graphics and performance, which detracts from the overall experience, while specific tasks, like navigating bus stops or completing certain quests, are noted as particularly laborious. Overall, the grinding elements seem to overshadow the enjoyment of the game.
- “The mechanics are simple and the jobs are not tedious.”

The game's soundtrack is praised for its excellent selection, particularly favoring electronic music, but players report significant audio issues, including nearly silent vehicle engines and overpowering radio stations that disrupt the music experience. While the potential for a great musical atmosphere exists, current flaws hinder overall enjoyment, making it difficult to recommend the game in its early access state.
- “Game has some potential, cool soundtrack!”
- “The radios, however, have an excellent selection of music, and while there's a bit of a bias towards electronic forms of music, at least one person should really enjoy each station.”
- “Unfortunately, at the moment I can't recommend it; there are just a few too many flaws, even for early access. The main one being the audio: vehicle engines are almost dead silent, and even with everything turned up to max, the music can't be heard at all. Performance issues are to be expected in early access, but the performance is quite painful.”
- “They just play whatever they're set to, often overpowering other radios that are set to a music-playing station, even if turned off.”
