Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
My review may seem negative, but that's because the core gameplay loop of repairing cars is actually so much fun, that even with all these negative aspects, it's still fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the graphics have seen a slight bump, Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 ultimately feels like a repetitive grind that fails to fix the long-standing issues of the series.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I would recommend a multiplayer option or a CO-OP with friends to have more fun and fix the tuning, steering and driving mechanics.
