60 of 168 · most liked firstThe game is exactly what you'd expect from 'Cheesecake Dev'. It's very similar in its design and philosophy as 'Internet Cafe Simulator' and 'Streamer Life Simulator'. Just like the other games from this dev team, the entire game is pretty much ADHD personified. With its bafflingly in depth mechanics in the most asinine of places. I'd even argue that some parts of the game were more 'in depth' than the actual computer repair shop part. Which is supposed to be the main part of the game, mind…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lost my 8.4 hour save because I went to sleep. Won't restart the game after this loss. The rest of the game, the developer didn't really figure out the reward portion. Beat all the robots? Get a date with the girl to only immediately wake up in an alley. Starting to make a good amount of money? Too bad, no extra work tables, no way to organize tools like USB drives or the vacuum. Get a ton of money? No way to upgrade the shop or even improve the look of your current store. Making more…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you're familiar with Internet Cafe Simulator 1 & 2 and Streamer Life Simulator, then you should already know what to expect. The Time of Day is no longer a factor it seems. Your character will get tired after some time, forcing you to seek your bed or else you'll fall asleep in the streets and will get robbed of some money, even if you fell asleep right next to your bed. This is not a realistic simulation of computer repair. All components including the PSU, the CPU, and the Mobo, can all be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dev likes to make extremely broken games that are Early access, but doesn't mark them as such, sell them for a high price, and then abandons them, and the cycle continues. It just feels like a slap in the face to actual devs who put effort in, and we shouldn't be rewarding people like this with our hard-earned cash. For starters, I actually like the gameplay: cleaning up the store, taking people's computers, and then diagnosing them but in a fun way and not with 10,000 different mechanics you…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just another pump and dump, abandomware by cheesecake devs! DO NOT BUY! They have done this a couple of times now, released a game just to abandon it couple of months after!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy cash grab. Immediately abandoned right after it's initial release.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't waste your time. I gave it 60 minutes and refunded, which I rarely do. The concept has potential, but it's too frustrating between having to pay to sleep every night, having computers stolen with no warning while you're working on another machine, and weird things like nowhere to dispose of used boxes. Even at 8 bucks I can't recommend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is most likely mining in the background. It has no right using 100% of everything.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had me very exited to play until I heard the A.I voices for the NPC's, the gunshot being fired every 15 seconds is annoying, you don't really repair PC's all you do is click and drag stuff throughout the entire game... The end game shop (REHAB shop) that's only a cover up for a robot brothel is also not relevant to what you should do in this game... 3/10 stars.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you really want to play this game, make sure to buy it on sale—I paid $5 for my copy. I tried to get a refund beyond the two-hour limit and didn’t get it. I decided, out of spite, to conquer the game so that I could warn and help people who are thinking about playing this game, lol. This game is dead; there have only been two updates, and the last one was on January 13. I wish they would’ve just focused on making the actual computer repair more fun and less frustrating. Instead, we have the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a fun game, and there's lots of things you may do besides just the computer repair shop. But, you are not required to do all the extra things; you can just run the computer shop if you like. A lot of the fun is because you can do it your way. It is not buggy anymore. I'd recommend hiring the security guard right away; if you don't then thieves will steal your customer computers while awaiting repair, and you will get a large bill for the missing computer. You can find employees on the ipad…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was excited to play this game as I was a fan of Internet Cafe Simulator, however this game is unplayable and may never be fixed. I can not enter my bedroom to sleep after the first day, can only faint and get robbed. Pretty apropos considering there has only been one update after release that pretty much says "so long and thanks for all the fish."
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The concept is strange but intriguing. I think that if you like simulators, this game can catch you, but even so, it still has a lot to polish. It's a genuinely good game, although it can be monotonous, I provide some tips to make it more enjoyable: -Play it with background music (in my case classic blues) -Focus on achieving the achievements (in my case they were really engaging) -Try to focus the arrangement of computers on improving, keep in mind the purchase of the doll store, the sale…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is good, but there's a ton of bugs... and my save is gone... i haven't played this for a few days and now the save of 76mins is just gone...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lost my saved progress because slow loading when sleep on hostel 5 times.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →do one misclick and lose all of your progress update your game to have at least 2 save states absolute garbage
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring, full of bugs, and poorly translated. So many failed orders because of unclear directions.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I refunded the game, IDK I liked Internet Cafe and even more Streamer Life, this game dont have any kind of goal, very superficial, you cant even improve the store, I tried to play a couple of times and the game didnt hooked me up for more than 10 minutes. Well I tried, maybe its not for me, and thats ok...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fix the saving bug, im stuck at savingg
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very laggy huge bugs exit error
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pirate this piece of ♥♥♥♥
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Computer Repair Shop is rather buggy and needs serious OPTIMISATION. I tried to run the game at 4K 60 FPS on High Graphics even with a Nvidia 3080. The game kept dropping large amounts of FPS, or looking like it had a real bad motion Blur effect. Once I changed the game down to Low or medium quality, the FPS balanced out and I could play with minor FPS drops. Even after all that, it still does not help that the tutorial was so basic that when you get into gameplay you have no idea what needs…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I streamed this game and got annoyed quite quick with lack of instruction. pc 's being stolen sucks a lot. if you want to counter this get bouncer really fast the sleeping part of always having to pay to sleep is bad atleast with internet cafe sim 2 and other games u had somewhere to sleep this is constant every night 50 dollars. the game has potential but lots needs to be fixed before really giving this another go. im giving it a thumbs up in the hope the game gets fixed.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is not a game for a casual player. I just want to play a game that repairing computers. Then teleported a room and faced with a challenge named "Escape from door". Sorry but, this is totaly ridiculous. I'm happy to faced with this scene when I'm on my 114. min. Refunding!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →unfortunately abandonware. Which whatever.... kinda regret having spent the $5.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one of those times I wish I had a 'mixed' rating I could give because this game would certainly get that. As I type this I am still unsure if I will go positive or negative. The game is decent when you first start it. Repair the computers and everything you can do on them is interesting and quite entertaining. However after doing enough computers you soon get bored of it. The game is not hard and you can get through activities quite quickly. Once you set up a business then money is no…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lost my save data after sleep and exit the game xD, when i want to play it again *poof* no "continue" options enabled and need to start from beginning again (that i would not restart again). honestly the game is addictive, but i think its lack of content. if you have a lot of money by doing repair, emm yeah, just having a lot of money and do nothing, just save the money xD, cant do upgrade like improve the store, buy an apartment (i knew that the background of this game is downsite alley xD).…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Saving doesn't seem to actually work. Each time I've closed the game out, there was no option to continue, only new game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First off i from everyone in complaining i only gotten a pc stolen through my first time playing this. I'm no professional with computer and i struggled here n there cause i had no guidance, but i figured it out i was like i am retarded i was doing this wrong the whole time. I never had any issues paying the one guy for rest i only looked at them as soon as i went through the door and came back saw em for like few nano secs and hit the bed. besides that I was always doing something different…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a game by Cheesecake Dev, so if you're familiar with Internet Cafe Simulator 1 & 2, Border Officer, and Streamer Life Simulator, then you should already know what to expect. The Time of Day is no longer a factor it seems. Your character will just get tired after some time, forcing you to seek your bed after you start nodding off twice, or else you'll fall asleep in the streets and lose some cash, even if you technically fell asleep right next to your bed after having paid the due for…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i cannot refund this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game should be free with the amount of content it provides. Furthermore, I have found issues with the game crashing with zero fixes for this issue. I have re-installed this game and to no avail has the issue been resolved. I figured the Developer would have at least put out a patch or some sort of update, but there has not been anything new since it's release only 5 months ago (01/2024). Again do not buy this game as it does not offer or provide hardly any sustenance for what you are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really really bad game, already try to do everything but still got "FAIL COMPUTER DOESNT WORK", ♥♥♥♥ game, dont buy it!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Whelp, I was actually having fun... It's just unorthodox enough that it's got this unpolished charm to it. Then the game basically turned into a repetitive failed overclocking simulator with 5 customer's computers that I can't overclock to what they want because I have less than a 20% success chance. So, I pay the 20$ fee (What? It costs money to overclock someone's computer?!?! It's YOUR repair shop for crying out loud...) and fail until I spent my $8k savings and now I'm so frustrated I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →idc if im biased but i love all cheescake dev games in general i played a bunch of them and had so much fun, this game tho is one of the weirdest ones lmao
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →easy to beat - easy to play - has a hint of stress but easy to overcome - pretty realistic with pc repair tactics. Not exact but the structure is there. Can help you decide if you want to get into IT work or business.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →played 5 hours its not bad dont know what people are moaning about it plays fine not seen any bugs other then the thief got stuck down the street so win for me lol. Its bit like streamer life sim and internet cafe sim both made by same devs game looks much better then them both and tbh plays better this has less to do then other games would of been nice to own ur own pc maybe im not that far but dont look like you can buy ur own pc to use to copy games on ect. Im glad theres not krypto i feel…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Here I go yapping about crappy simulator games again (boy, do I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love playing job sims while never working a 9-5 a day in my life). The latest creation by the dev of Internet Cafe Simulator and Streamer Life Simulator, and the fourth game by the Cheesecake Dev that I've sat down and played through in an evening, I found Computer Repair Shop to be immediately notable for its lack of absurdist elements and content-farm game mechanics (suicide bombers, among other constant disruptions)…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Basically the same game they have made twice before with a few tweeks. I got to enjoy 20hrs or so and then it becomes clear there is very little to keep me playing . I have over 100 thousand in bank and nothing to really spend it on. You cannot upgrade shop, rent or buy a home etc.. . Yes I can build cpu's but the shop is so small and the point of making money is to improve QOL. i preferred Internet Cafe Sim 2 more than this even with the bugs it had a charm to it. The devs never seem to finish…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →When I start the game nothing is happening. I can't play the game I have buy YESTERDAY!!! WTF dev? Can you explain me?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"1120" "give me more discount" "1150" "perfect,i will buy this"
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is a problem in the game, there is no function to save, if you want to log out or you are tired of playing, you create according to the tasks, because of the game, the game does not go to join or does not list those missions and you do not get money, manage the game, for this price it should already work at least 90% now I give 50% that it works as a scam
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game kept me entertained for 13 hours and counting, game has a few bugs here and there but over all fun to play. dont go and spend $13 CAD and expect to get a AAA release.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love for the developers cuz every game i had alot fun streaming. Thank for the amazing work
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very little content, game has some bad bugs such as sticky notes being blank if u exit and reload game and dolls in sellers shop don't respawn until game is reloaded, also any content outside the computer repair shop seems rushed and as a result an absolute waste of time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →YOU CAN HOLD THE CAT!!! The game is fun and there is definitely some progress that needs to be made. Definite upgrade from their Hookah Cafe Sim... My request, please give options to remove camera sway and head bob... It's 2024... Should just be an option by now. Otherwise, my computer runs it fine. Only one computer was stolen and a bum stole $172 lol Do wish there was a sleep meter like there was in the internet cafe games. I hope the Dev listens and adds what people are asking. Also, I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is actually playable despite what many other people had said, granted it isnt the most well made game, it does get you through the basics and can be enjoyable as a sort of bad enjoyable game, I would definitely recommend giving it a try, I felt like I got my money's worth in my time playing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Computer Repair Shop! This is my review 3.2 The first impression was bad. I received feedback on my first review and changed the game options. The graphics and performance settings were then good. "Computer Repair Shop" sounds like it´s a competitor to "PC Building Simulator". There are also parallels to be found because it´s basically about tinkering with the computer. But this game goes in a different direction because it is not a serious simulation of computer repairs. It´s more of a punk…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →do NOT do the robot section. the stinky woman triesto fiddleyour piddle. stay safe guys
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →hei, i cannot wake up from my sleep and then my game unsaved, how can i fix this?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hiç bir teknik detayı yok yarım saatten sonra sabit aynı şeyi yapıyorsunuz. Bari en azından farklı parçaları farklı şekilde tamir etsek idare eder bir oyun olurdu.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very good game :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My PC probably needs repairs after running this thing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →when someone asks for you to setup computer to run a game, you must install steem as well as have a higher benchmark than game requirement. most the things you cant find are on deep web if avg wont remove viruses on the computer, use the tablet and check the virus wiki. oh other than this ive been playing it for 3 hours and enjoy it, still havent left the shop to see the other content game has, i recommend if your into sims or electronic repairs and problem solving.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My favorite game by Cheesecake Dev, however, compared to the previous 2 games and Streamer life simulator there isn't as much content. I did not find the battle bots or backrooms interesting and there is very little late game content. I am hoping for a sequel that goes into more depth for a computer repair shop, like maybe remote repairs/tech support, more interactive diagnosing instead of just sticking in the fixer and waiting. Maybe there could be some software developing or hacking.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →12 minutes in and I finally started repairing a computer! Other than that it kept me on my feet and I had no idea what to expect next. From the pretty kitty cat that welcomed me to my shop when I first opened.. to the naked homeless man that I had to gracefully escort out of my shop.. an experience I will never forget.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't waste your time on this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun experience. Worth a play!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WHY DOES IT NOT SAFE THE GAMES IT SELF
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The beautiful game got better with the 1.08 update that came to the game. But I think it would be better if we hire workers for the computer. I thank the developers..
