Car Mechanic Simulator 18 Guide 

The Car Mechanic Simulator games never held the same appeal – that of motion, roads, wilderness, cities, freedom – because they’re essentially about being locked inside one garage, memorising the names and shapes of various bits of metal and plastic. Tedium incarnate, the sole reserve of car spods and/or people with infinite patience.Most of all, there’s a real sense of journey to fixing a car, both in the time and observation required to do so, and, for a mechanical ignoramus such as I, a sense of ambient learning as I do so. Oh, so that’s what makes that rattle, that’s what brakes are made of, the foot bone’s connected to the leg bone, and so forth. I could look under the hood of my 11-year-old hatchback now and, for the first time, have some basic sense of what’s what, where formerly all I knew was the dipstick and where the wiper fluid goes. Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 also includes car auctions where old cars are available for resale or purchased for your collection. With the inclusion of photo-mode, you can take stunning before and after photos, and the game’s infinite number of randomly generated missions will keep you more than busy (and dirty).

Each mission offers its own unique challenge of varying difficulty and time constraints to meet. If additional and extra tools are needed, they available for purchase.You can eventually upgrade your garage to include specific equipment such as lacquer sprayer or a parts warehouse. Junkyard that allows you salvage parts from other vehicles. A new place to acquire vehicles: Barn finds. Vehicle windows are now considered parts. Improved part repair system.The longer game, wherein you can raid junkyards for abandoned vehicles whose nearly every part is ruined, but which can be sold for enormous profits if you can put hour upon hour into complete restoration, I barely dare touch, because of how much I stand to lose from that bug/no autosave double-whammy. When I lose progress I’m not so bothered about the inherent repetition it results in  – I don’t mind seeing the same cars twice and dealing with their problems again. My dismay is because progress is hung around a slowly-unlocked skill tree that gates access to, amongst other things, what tools you can use, what workbenches and stations are in your garage, and whether you can access the likes of junkyards and car auctions.

Electronic meters that spare total engine disassembly to identify a single borked part cannot be bought for any amount of money, but are only unlocked after around a dozen hours of play, for instance. Going back to the barebones start of things is, thus, miserable, but while frequent manual saving is a likely answer, this is one of those games where you get so wrapped up in the process that doing so slips your mind far too easily.It’s all such an appealing prospect but, as I’ve discovered to my cost already, the escapist fantasy of Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 is lost when the game’s problems see your efforts squandered. When it becomes a matter of grimly repeating all that you’ve done before to claw back progress rather than rolling up your sleeves to tackle a new challenge.

This is a great game, and a great game for automophiles and people who gain satisfaction from mending or building things alike, but it’s just not ready yet – both because of bugs, and because UI and UX urgently need to be whacked with a spanner a few times. To its developers’ credit, they’ve made great strides in less than a week, turning CMS18 from disaster to merely unfortunate, and I have great faith that 50% of this piece will be entirely irrelevant a couple of months from now.
