this game still impresses, the new updates that keep coming are good. the only thing i can say is the 0.3 update work on west coast usa seemed like some parts of the map were a bit glossed over. There is no grass or anything on the new island and apart from the buildings and the actual refinery/port its kinda bland. Apart from that, they continue to add more and more cool features. Only thing i can ask for is tyre thermals and tyre wear. A basic system would be really cool and could always be evolved in future updates.


Edit after over 5 years and over 1000 hours of playtime:

My god this game has never failed to blow me away. Ever update is consistently awesome and the dev team behind it strive for the best gameplay they can deliver. Beamng is the one game i keep coming back to, and i can safely say for other people it is the same too. The progress may have been slow, but is still outstanding and has blown everything else out of the water. We are know finally starting to see some realism improvements once again, with more realistic tires/tire deformation and grip, with hopes for tire temperatures soon to be implemented too. I have incredibly high hopes for this game and its future.

So long story short...

Is it worth it? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt. Even if cars aren't your thing, the satisfaction
from crashing and seeing the vehicles crumple is amazing.

Why do you have so many hours? Im lonely

Can i run it? Maybe.. Id recommend a system with atleast
CPU:2nd gen ryzen/7th gen intel/8th gen intel. E.G R5 2600/2700. I7 7700/8700
RAM: 16gb or above
GPU:gtx 1060/1070 or amd equivelent, preferably newer.

With less than 2-3 cars lower system specs will be ok but trying to use traffic will be a nightmare ..

Should i use a wheel? It adds a lot to the game, but the force feedback needs work for lower end wheels. A G920/ thrustmaster tmx will work fine, its what ive used, but its just a bit meh. Its had work done before but doesn't compare to the ffb of Assetto Corsa and the like.


Original review:

I Have Had This Game A Few Months Before It Came Out On Steam. I Have Been Surprised On How Far its Come And Could Not Have Found A Better Game To Play When My Internet Dies... I Do Play It From Time To Time Anyway And With The New Mod Installer Its Even Better. I GOt It For £10 Back Then In The Early Update Now Its £19 Lucky I Got It Then!
