Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 Platinum Edition - PC & Mac (Steam)

level

Love saving money

I got this to a nephew for inspiration to learn English through activity most describing him: Tearing things down and building up again. After getting through few language barrier questions giggling started and now ball is rolling!

fun game with decently wacky builds

Pretty fun game, you can repair all sorts of cars, from old timers and classic racing cars to expensive luxury cars, the repairing itself is fun, it goes into detail but not too much (because it would be way too confusing for average player then) you can take apart whole engine and many other parts like suspension system, brake system and interior repairs.

The game gives a great insight on how being the car mechanic feels like. It's an eternal grind, which after a moment doesn't bring much fun unless you start to take care of your own vehicles. While the game was fun and I passed to about 12 level, the grind to 30 to unlock the paintshop was way too much, so I cheated my way to it just to be able to bring my cars to their full potential.
It's still a great experience though, which I would recommend if you were ever interested in this type of stuff and you were an amateur like me.

Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 is, as you may have a guessed, a simulator where you take the role of a mechanic tasked with fixing and refurbishing cars. The game offers a variety of cars and lets you upgrade your garage and get better at doing your job, as you progress through the game. There are a wide variety of cars that you will have to learn to deal with as well!

Lie Simulator 2018?
Now I will get the negatives out first before talking about the good stuff. A lot of people seem to think this game has features that it just doesn’t. For example, you can’t drive up to warehouses in car, but you can choose from a variety of warehouses to work in. You can drive cars in a test race track, so that feature is in the game, even if not as expected. There also seems to be the assumption that you can take a broken car and remake it however you wish. This is partly true. You can change the liveries and aesthetics as well as the internal furbishing of the car. But you can’t change the parts of the car, if the car did not have a spoiler you can’t add one while repairing it.

As you can see, the game does have some negatives, but none of them are deal breaking and are quite manageable.

A Laid-Back, Chill Experience
At the end of the day, this is designed, as a simulator and like many other simulators this can be played in a very laid-back manner. This is the kind of game you can play for hours after a hard day’s work. You start off small, with a small warehouse and not a lot of high-end tools or expensive cars to fix. But as you work your way through the game you can upgrade your warehouse and make your life much easier. You can also ride the cars you fix and repair on a test track so that feature is there in the game. While it may not be up to the standard of dedicated racing games, it is a feature that is quite enjoyable to spend time on.

A Simple Yet Enjoyable Game
This game may not seem like it offers a lot, but it is a very enjoyable experience. This isn’t the game you are going to play endlessly in one sitting, but it is the kind of game you will keep coming back to for a fun and casual experience. It does seem to deceive some people with expectations before playing the game, but I have covered those in the start of this review, so you should be going into the game aware of what it has to offer.

To summarise, this game offers you the experience of being a car mechanic in a very rewarding manner. It also lets you test out the cars and upgrade your warehouse, tools etc. This game doesn’t cost a lot and, if you are looking for a game to enjoy from time to time in short bursts then look no further!

Yea bought the game , kinda car dude ... good concept but after time gets kinda booring ... SOOO if your not internet is working one day of month yea its ideal for you :D
Yea sometimes kinda laggy... but its fun for sure :D

Un jeu très sympathique pour apprendre des bases en mécanique ! Immersif ! Et le musique sont géniales. Le jeu permet de jouer sur beaucoup de modèles de voitures aussi bien des plus basiques aux plus complexes et luxueuses.

I purchased this game a while ago I do not recommend this game it was very laggy and unoptimized it could have been a good game but it wasn't for me maybe ill come back to the game when it stopped being laggy on a high-end pc who knows

it is a really good game, but i bought it before release and it had so many bugs it was like an alpha then. Now there are still some annoying bugs. But its playable and the graphic should be optimized a little bit more...

it is a good game and realistic and it is very realistic and I cant wait for them to start releaseing the dlcs as I play this game all day long from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night so I am on this game 18 hours a day
