Early Access Review
Poorly made and unoptimized.

Gameplay - Car building gameplay is in my opinion very fun, and quite well done. However, the driving physics are horrible and driving cars often feels like a chore - it's just not fun at all, since the car handling and vehicle physics setup is so badly done. There's really no incentive to actually drive the cars you build - in fact, it's basically discouraged since crashing them has so severe consequences, leading to half a hour or even more of your time wasted on rebuilding them in a severe crash. There's no good reason to drive your cars, because the driving just isn't fun and any driving mistakes can end in hours spent repairing your car. Because of those reasons, I end up parking the cars I build and not driving them at all.

The game itself is very unoptimized, buggy and janky - developer has no interest in optimizing the performance of the game.
This is an actual quote from the developer of the game..
also higher price means it will be bought by people that can afford good computers meaning that no optimization is needed.
Loading times take upwards of 2 minutes for me, dependent on how many cars I have on my save it can even take 3-5 minutes..

Terrible graphics and art style - just a ugly mess of purchased and free assets mixed together, has no coherent "art style" at all - it's just a mix of assets slapped together, with no consideration for how well they fit together or any optimization at all. Simply put, it looks quite bad.

The car building gameplay CAN be really fun (once you get used to the janky controls and how everything works), but it's definitely not worth the 20€. For 10-15€ it could even be worth it, but in this state, no. The developer is only really interested in "quantity over quality" - adding more and more crap to the game with no consideration for polishing and fixing the content that already exists.

In general - I've owned this game since it was basically released 2 years ago, and I can say that at this price point and the way development seems to be going, I can't recommend it. The game is janky, buggy and unoptimized, and instead of fixing the core issues with the game, the developer is only interested in adding more and more unoptimized and broken content.

this was helpful to read i just left as review after basically asking for a refund on the game due it having so many core issues.. i think with optimization it would be the new "my summer car" but i had no idea this games been in development that long or that the dev has actually said no to optimization... and like i am one of those people with a higher end pc but even with 32gb dedicated ram i still ran out of memory twice in the first 2 hours of playing.. (likely cause i left some paint cans on the ground)

personally i only put 3.3 hours into the game and its un playable with the amount of game crashes i experienced..

and yeah the price for how un polished the game is is insane ($36Aud)
if it was optimized it would be but hearing that the dev is not interested in optimization makes me think its just a money grab.. which is unfortunate cause it could be a really fantastic game
