There are some minor improvements here and there, but there’s no new big feature that screams – that’s where 3 years of development went. The only one reason to get CMS2021 for the full price is if you somehow missed the 2018 version. [Issue#256, p.56]

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 is, more than anything else, a light remaster of the previous instalment. It’s really pretty and its minigames are fun, but if you’re looking for anything significantly new, you’ll be disappointed. If you own CMS2018 with all its DLCs, there’s little reason to switch to the new one.

Developers from the Polish studio Red Dot Games have chosen the path of slow evolution of their brand – I'm still waiting for a revolution. I wanted a shiny new car straight from the factory – instead I got a decent used car, which, albeit pretty and working, isn't that spectacular.

Car Mechanic Simulator 21 est un très bon jeu de simulation. Je n'ai pas joué à ses précédents opus donc je ne pourrais trop aborder l'amélioration face à celui de 2018, mais j'ai passé de longue bonnes heures sur ce jeu. La simulation est assez réaliste sans trop entrer dans les détails pour rester accessible, j'ai personnelement réellement appris des choses sur la construction d'un moteur et le fonctionnement d'une voiture dans son ensemble. Mais après une cinquentaine d'heures de jeu, je pense avoir vraiment bien fait le tour du jeu, toutes les missins devenant très redondante à partir d'un moment. Mais je trouve que cinquante heures reste une bonne durée de vie pour ce genre de jeu. Et pour les passionnés de la licence, il est encore alimenté de nombreux DLC pouvant approfondir la quantité de contenu du jeu.

Bem legal a mecânica de quem nunca jogou essa saga de jogos, uma simulaçao quase que perfeita.

Very Niche. I'd suppose if you're a car enthusiast you'd enjoy but not average gamer. It simplifies care mechanics job, and also somewhat teaches you how to do it. Shows you through forced guides at first which later I assume you need to figure out on your own with optional hint lookups / tutorial studies, but this game REALLY IS just a work simulator honestly. To me, it does not feel remotely satisfying. It ain't something like Satisfactory and thats for sure. But I know that the game does have its niche audience. It's an unfun game, but a niche crave will make you love it (**** at its core, there is no satisfaction element to this game for me. The game is so niche that it ignores basic positive feedback loops of game design. A game shouldn't only be considered fun when catering to a very small specific audience. To me, this is just a time rot simulator. A bad game you can dump dozens of hours on mindlessly.

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 relies on established features. Ultimately, the simulation lacks innovations.

Recently I have self-hired myself as a game reviewer (I even pay myself with money I earn somwhere else), so I will share my opinion about this game. It's good. But the textures are really bad sometimes. Overall it's a good game.

Great game! Details are improved and you can now fix more parts of the car, with new tools.

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 is a solid upgrade to the CMS series. All of the updated items and graphics will be a welcome addition to past players and a perfect place to start for new ones. It certainly isn't a game anyone would want to binge over a weekend, but any car repair fan will enjoy this one for years to come - or until the next instalment in the series, if it continues to evolve and adapt towards more detail-oriented play.

The game is wonderful, one of my favourites. However, before you spend your money on it, make sure your computer is optimised for the game if it isn't, it can lead to lag, overheating, or BSODs. If it is optimised enough, it can be a good little game to pass the time.

The thing is, in terms of complexity at the time of managing the technical aspect of a car, the game is great. But it lacks satisfaction. Is not relaxing but more like a chore to play. Instead of a nice puzzle to complete feels more like a task. And at the end, you fix the car, check the "complete contract" button and the car disappears. Not a reward screen, not a money balance to see how much you spend against how much you won. The car is just gone and now go for the next contract...

I believe that many editors of specialized magazines do not have the knowledge to review a title of this type. A software that passes itself off as a "simulator" and instead is a simple 3D reproduction of car parts, more or less official. Many disassembly of parts in reality are not absolutely necessary for disassembly. For example, to disassemble the ABS, the shock absorber or the brake disc does not need to open them in their sub-components, while the game forces you to do so. Indeed, it is practically always possible to disassemble the entire suspension (shock absorber, brake disc, brake caliper, stub axle with hub, drive shaft and swinging arm) keeping the pieces all together. On the other hand, if you want to remove the brake booster, which in in-game cars can always be reached without difficulty, you often have to remove the engine and gearbox in order to access it. Furthermore, very often, you can remove the engine and gearbox by keeping them together, while in the game to remove the engine you have to remove the cylinder head first, which makes no sense. The engine can be removed from cars with its electrical components still attached, i.e. alternator, starter and ABS. The game forces you to disassemble even the smallest details, which is useless in most of the practical cases. I have also seen players who first remove the rear window to remove the rear hatch. But know what it takes then to reassemble it? Removing the rear window and then removing the door just for to work on a vehicle with mechanics in the rear is simply insane, but if the game removes the door only if you remove the rear window first, the gamer is forced to follow this crazy procedure. You could find dozens of inaccuracies of this type, which for a title that wants to be a "simulator" are not good. The only positive side is that, for those who are totally lacking in knowledge in the car mechanic sector, you learn how the pieces generally look and how they are called, but it is absolutely not a mechanics simulation, so I hope that from the next episode remove that "simulator" from the title.
