Gas Station Simulator feels like a weird game to want to play, but you want to play it. Like most simulators, the tasks at hand are menial and repetitive, but it’s generally a fun game to keep progressing through. The upgrades and tools are well placed to keep you from feeling like you’re dealing with too much busy work, and the humor the game injects keeps things lighthearted. Although, if we could just get rid of Dennis, I wouldn’t complain.
Overall, it hits its niche. It lands on the edges of the sweet spot for modern simulators. It manages to be fun and atmospheric. It’s a hard day’s work, but someone has to do it.
Gas Station Simulator has its flaws and in the end just isn’t deep enough to keep you interested for long. But if you like your simulators, you’ll get your 10 hours of fun out of it.
Gas Station Simulator is vastly better than a lot of the simulator games that are available on Steam. It's a charming and occasionally buggy experience, but one that allows the player to find a little bit of peace in a daily grind.
Gas Station Simulator has bugs in the same way Skyrim has bugs: yeah, it’s a buggy game, but riding your horse vertically through the mountains became iconic, if not beloved. I feel like the same thing has happened here with Gas Station Simulator — there’s just so much personality that even the issues are charming. I don’t know why certain stock doesn’t move or why some cars pile up near the entrance or hover in midair, but I know the solution in both cases is calling aliens to save my business. If you want an insanely addicting core loop and don’t mind a little dust in the machinery, Gas Station Simulator will guzzle up an entire weekend before you know it.
El juego esta tremendo, es terriblemente adictivo, pero no podemos dejar de lado que esta muy mal optimizado. Para rematarla los desarrolladores prefieren meter Dlcs de pago que agregan cosas innecesarias que mejorar el rendimiento del juego, cuando saben que todos esperamos una mejora en esos FPS
• The standards of modern games and gamers have become so low that garbage like GSS can easily earn "very positive" reviews on steam these days. • "Gas Station Game." is what it actually should be called. Because calling it a simulator is an insult to the games actually deserving of the title. While GSS is obviously just another product from the simulator-conveyer-belt the industry has kept running for years now, catering to those with the lowest expectations imaginable, at least it's one of the less bad ones. It's still quite bad, though. • The whole game just looks like a student project. Terrible animations, everything seems janky. The game mechanics are as basic as they could get away with. Hardly anything makes sense in terms of realism or even basic logic. The costumers are generic and ugly and they litter like the floor is the actual trash bin. The amount of sand they bring in in no time is ridiculous. While they're mindlessly waiting in line you can break open their trunks, because why not? They probably don't hear the noise over the constant honking outside anyway. In the meantime they're enjoying the useless decoration and the walls that need painting once a week. Not because of little Dennis painting graffiti outside, but the mere passing of time. It's just very low quality paint, I guess. If you run out of stuff you place an order and run over to your warehouse while your customers are waiting. After unloading everything manually the truck driver happily leaves with the back doors of his truck open. (quality programming, very postive steam reviews) The story and humor are terrible as usual, as if written by teenagers. • Another "uncle leaves you 'this' to work with" - scenario with constant cring-worthy attempts to be creative or funny. Like that giant alligator that lives in the sewer nearby and needs to be fed with trash bags occasionally so you can keep using your washing station. Or the party bus full of alien customers with the same dancing animation.. •And this goes on and on and on... I eventually quit. Terrible game. • 3 out of 10 trash bags •Oh and THANK YOU metacritic for completely braking the formattting and forcing people to read through enless walls of text. WELL DONE!
I couldn't even get past the first hour, this game is poorly coded and more importantly, mind-numbingly boring. The UI and quest markers shepherd you around to different things you need to left click on. Maybe the game gets better, but I can't imagine people who fully subscribe to the Ubisoft style of hand holding gameplay made the rest of the game even remotely interesting.
