    Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 literally made me go into automotive classes. No, I did not graduate. Lmao. But honestly, that says a lot about this game. It got me interested enough in cars, repairs, parts, and the whole process of taking something broken and making it work again that I actually tried to bring that curiosity into real life. The game itself is weirdly satisfying. Taking cars apart, diagnosing problems, replacing parts, fixing engines, upgrading things, and slowly learning…

    Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 is exactly what it says on the box... one in a series of continually superseded and obsolete car mechanic business tycoon games. You have an automotive repair and maintenance garage where you work as an auto mechanic, a thankless job, and you can take on orders, or even buy old junkers and fix them up then sell them for a big profit. Gameplay consists mostly of clicking around on cars to remove parts and replace or repair them, as well as operating various…

    hey this one's really good, I'd definitely recommend claiming. very relaxing in a take-your-time procedural kind of way. I have a lot of hours in Car Mechanic Simulator 2015, and 2018 is even more expansive in terms of how in-depth the gameplay is.

    Huge lack of drinking, smoking, gambling, and no profanity button to callout to the NPCs. Too bad I can't piss in the radiator either. Other then that, you can't die in the game, so I'll give credit where credit is due! 6/10 would recommend for babies learning to wrench on cars.

    Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 offers a methodical workshop experience built around repairing, diagnosing, rebuilding, and trading automobiles. Developed by Red Dot Games and published by PlayWay S.A., it places the player in charge of a growing automotive repair garage where virtually every job involves getting beneath the surface of a vehicle and determining what has gone wrong. Rather than presenting repairs through simple menus, the game allows cars to be dismantled component by component,…

    DO NOT BUY THS GAME. BUY THE NEWEST SIMULATOR INSTEAD Disclamer: This review is kept short because I haven’t played this game for ages. This review may be a bit inaccurate. It's a mixed combination of todays "standards" and how it was back in the days when it got released.

    CMS 2015 is basically a chill puzzle game disguised as automotive labor. You poke around a car until something looks suspicious, replace it, and pretend you knew what you were doing the whole time. It’s fun, relaxing and you’ll learn more car parts than you ever asked for, just to forget them all immediately after closing the game. [7.5/10]

    Pretty time consuming and tedious... but fun! Progression feels slow but rewarding (1 upgrade every 1,000xp. Which is around 10 jobs). I find myself sinking hours into this game, and wanting to buy the newest one!

    Relaxing casual game. No time limits, refuse jobs with no penalties. Mechanical parts are simplified (eg. Clutch parts are the same for nearly all cars, gearboxes are more specific between makes and models) Graphics are 2015 nice. Play to earn cash and XP to upgrade the workshop with extras (Spray booth, Wheel alignment room, Port scanner etc.) There is a radius where you can click to focus on a new part which should really be increased (If you are working under the back of a car you can't…

    I got this game for next to nothing and originally only bought it because I was interested in the DeLorean from Back to the Future. I ended up enjoying it way more than I expected. I maxed out my skills and eventually got to the point where money basically meant nothing. I definitely recommend this game, especially for anyone who wants to learn about the different parts of a car and how they fit together. It’s also a great choice if you have a low-end PC or laptop, as it runs well without…

    Moving from the 2014 original straight into Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 feels like stepping out of a cramped, dimly lit workshop and into a proper, state-of-the-art facility. The visual upgrade is immediately striking. The graphics have stepped up quite a bit, shedding the flat, sterile look of the first game in favor of better textures, dynamic lighting, and a much cleaner overall aesthetic. It is no longer just a functional interface. It actually looks and feels like a modern video game,…

    A good game overall for anyone that likes cars or have the passion of working in assembling or disassembling parts. Gameplay is simplified in many ways but show a decent complexity regarding the car models and how the components are assembled together. A few drawbacks are present and can become annoying. Some of the models (especially DLC) have parts that clip through each other, although this does not affect gameplay at all. Cars like Tempest Magnum AWD W12 however, had its oil cap hidden…

    The tutorial: Here's a car, fix it. I expected a decent tutorial showing me how to find the parts and how to replace them. You get a job where you have to replace parts based of % of damage. One job tells you to repair anything below 60% and another job 41%. So I have to check every part for it's %. It needs to be, fix the broken parts and extra for replacing parts which are worn, such as a timing belt or brake pads. It become a chore rather than fun. Perhaps a simple mode…

    This game is aesthetically pleasing in a way that's hard to describe. The Garage itself almost feels like a home with how modern looking and clean it looks. It makes you feel like you're actually running a super professional garage. Part of this is nostalgia too. A lot of games in the 2015 era had this sleek modern aesthetic to them in some shape or fashion. Game play wise, it gets very easy once you learn the basics and unlock all the tools that can speed up diagnosing issues with a car.…

    Very good but basic car mechanic sim game. My dad bought it for me years ago to encourage me to learn about vehicles and it really does the job, you learn the basics and the names of all the parts and have lots of fun doing it. It's a shame the modding scene never really took off. 8/10, Worth the buy.

    As a kid I always wanted to know "What makes it go?" This game helps me get an insight into identifying and fixing automotive issues. The pace of the regular game is too slow for my liking, but there is a creative mode available (possibly a DLC). If you want to chill and restore an American classic or muscle car, this game is for you. The graphics are lovely and it is not so complex that a beginner like me will get stressed.
