57 of 57 · most liked firstEdit 25/05/2026: Game honestly seems abandoned, I wouldn't buy it if I were you. Game is littered with bugs and just bad designs. - NPCs gliding across the ground instead of walking. - NPCs arms doing manoeuvres that would have you end up in the hospital irl. - Security guard NPC floating above ground. - Too much untranslated text, even for an EA game. - Upgrades that don't exactly say what it does, feels like money sinks instead of actual upgrades. - Less automation than the demo had.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🚩 WARNING: HEAVILY DOWNGRADED FROM THE DEMO 🚩 The "Bait-and-Switch" is real. I played the demo and it had "good bones," great potential, and modern graphics. This Early Access release is a total 360-degree flip in the wrong direction. The Reality of the Current State: Visual Regression: The demo looked amazing; this version looks like a 1995 PS1 game. Low-res textures and broken lighting everywhere. Game-Breaking Bugs: I hit a progression wall almost immediately. Quests are bugged and won't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No updates since over a month. Game is unplayable. Full with bugs, updates inside the game does nothing. No news from the devs at all, they've clearly abounded it. Don't waste your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →changed the review as alot of the bugs have gone. but the game moves to slow. you need skilly points which is now taking me nearly an hour to get 3 which hardly unlocks anything. the game still has a bit to go before getting a positive review.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Scam!! no updates in a long time, paid for a half built game :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wouldn’t recommend the game. Game is full of bugs and doesn’t get any updates. Developers don’t respond at all on discord and bug reports aren’t fixed. Do not buy this game! This was just a money grab scam
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is not the same one we played in it's demo state. It's really sad when developers completely change the concept and then remove things ie a barrier and are adding it back in an update! This game is full of bugs and not the product we tested as a demo, steer clear till it's fixed.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →worst game i played tutorial is not clear and i choose english still getting other languges response
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has been abandoned, in an unplayable state, developers should be sued and we should get our money back for this scam.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very very buggy and completely different to the demo. The demo was much much better.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →AWFUL GAME, Very broken and peppered with bugs. Dont waste your money completely unplayable, cars driving over fences and people driving cars standing up is the many bugs that saturate this "game"
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game started with many bugs. Lots fixed and has great potential.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What the heck happened? The demo looked clean crisp and functioned well. Then they released this, looks Dark dingy and terrible on ultra settings on an OLD with a 4090 very dark all the time. Lawn Mower acts like a vacuum, its so bad just get rid of it. the collision hitboxes interaction just have you slide up things. The language kept changing to turkish, and this is after they supposedly fixed it. the Audio Sliders do absolutely nothing. Set to 0 the footsteps when running still blew…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Demo was WAY better! This game is full of bugs and typos. I tried accessing my menu through tab during part of the tutorial and it would not let me. It was even in a different language. The NPC's are glitching all over the place and I have a hard time giving them the ticket and taking the keys when their arms are sticking out of their head. Some of the Male characters have female voices and visa versa. I really wanted to like the game. I play a lot of sim games and wanted this to be in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Parking Garage Simulator, developed by Root Games and published by Red Axe Games, takes a surprisingly simple concept and builds an entire business management experience around it. Instead of placing players behind the wheel in a traditional driving simulator, the game focuses on the day-to-day responsibilities of owning and operating a parking facility. From organizing vehicles and collecting payments to expanding the property and maintaining customer satisfaction, the title leans heavily into…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am willing to update my review if circumstances change; however, this reflects my current honest opinion. I appreciate the game's concept and idea, but unfortunately, in its current state, I cannot recommend it. It seems to have been neglected, and while community managers on Discord assure us that this is not the case, the lack of updates and news makes it increasingly difficult to believe. Currently, the game is plagued with bugs—many missing or malfunctioning features. The core gameplay…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Parking Garage Simulator honestly had so much potential. The concept itself felt really unique, which was why I was excited for the game in the first place. Since early March, we’ve been told that an update was coming soon, but it’s been months with no actual updates or communication from the devs. The last time I played, the game was still filled with bugs and issues to the point where it became hard to enjoy properly. I was genuinely hoping the developers would work on fixing things and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is completely unplayable in its current form. I understand its in EA, that's fine. But releasing a game with this many bugs? Cars continuously get stuck in the map & my character now stuck in the chair at the PC and cant even press esc to get to the menu. Have to force close the game. This is the 4th time I've had no option but to restart with a new save file. Demo was way more promising than this latest release... TLDR: Game littered with bugs. Demo had more playability. Avoid until new…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has had bug fixes, however the fixes are actually making the game worse. I have vehicles stopped dead center back by dumpster and will not move forward to collect payments.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Honestly, the demo is miles better than this. Pro: - Uh, a unique concept? Con: - The rain sound blasted my ears off - Terrible car controls for a car game - And equally terrible camera controls - Cars can spawn inside of each other, IMMEDIATELY causing damage when you enter - Idk, it feels like the demo looked better? - Seems like there's barely any car models (maybe a playtime issue) - I was hoping for a more...idk. Proper start. Less illegal, ya know? Verdict: Don't buy it yet, wait…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game good and relax keep you mind off thing like it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seems to have so many bugs that need fixed. I have a vehicle stuck in from of my pay station and now everyone trying to pay is stuck behind them and wont pay so i am not recieving any money this happened in my first game and they only way to get rid of it was to start a new game. I really like this game and I was awaiting its release but there has been alot of problems! until all the bug fixes are done I do not recommend buying this game. it has so many issues unfortunatel.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nothing works in this game currently, shouldnt have been released in the current state
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game breaking bug, I'm now soft locked out of progressing. Cars wont some for payment. Extremely buggy. Language keeps changing to Turkish. The demo showed such promise but this is far from what I was expecting. Agreed it's EA, but how can it be so far from the demo??
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →CASH GRAB SCAM> DO NOT BUY
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game needs major updates, Even when I was trying to get to the next level I can't for some reason And I've gotten everything that it needs for the next level at the municipality.. but other than needing major updates, it's not bad to say the but at least we have another parking simulator
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game! i've been playing since the demo came out. i had to fix my graphics in order to play but it is amazing! i love how you have to work harder to get to the skills because it makes you want to do more and play more and more! i love the characters! i love everything. you guys updated alot and improved so much. the only problem i do have is payment wise and giving tickets. i wish the hands were automatic because its kinda hard to reach and i would have to use my mouse a little bit…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Heard a lot of neggitive stuff about this game but after watching some videos I decied to give the Game a try and it was really fun Will be playing the full release when it comes out. One suggestion for the devs(that i will put in the in game give feedback box) add steam adchievements(like park your first car. This can be repeatable up to XYZ amount of times, and another one like reach max level (if there is one)ETC!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A lot of fun, but it needs more staff, hopefully it's just that i've not seen the upgrade, but more security measures and staff for parking the new customers or giving keys etc.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I cannot progress in the game as it tells me to hire security but im not that level yet. So i cannot finish the day. Had a thief, was promted to pick up the stick from the booth but no stick is to be found so I lost all my money. Now I'm stuck as cannot upgrade as have no money and cannot start a new day unless i hire security. The only option is to start over but that seems a waste of time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The demo version of this game was pretty good. Straight into the mechanics of a parking simulator. The early released version of the game, not good at all. Pointless dialogue, strange and odd things to do (sleep in caravan), why? Poor audio, completely out of sync. Poor video, even on ultra. I'm just so disappointed in this game, and I was really looking forward to it. Refund requested.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The beta was much better. A lot has changed from the beta to now. Not to the positive. A customer who was going to check out and pay, he disappeared into the air? NPC floats instead of walking. Cars get stuck on the road outside. Like the type of game but right now not playable with so many bugs that could have been improved.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just bought the game only to have to request a refund due the game not able to be played on my computer at this time it doesn't even get to the menu screen to be able to play the game I will get the game once it's out of early access I am sorry to have to write a negative review at this time Hopefully this game will work better once I get a better computer.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I appreciate this game is early access, but it really does play poorly right now. I loved the demo and was excited for the full game, but this doesn't look or feel like the same game. The graphics, especially the people were particularly bad and the text is riddled with typos and in some places in a completely different language. A lot of improvement is needed and I hope the devs are up to the challenge.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In its current state, it doesn't come close to the demo. Still lots of bugs, floating NPCs, and translation errors. I'm still giving it a thumbs up, though, because I really liked the demo and hope the bugs get fixed soon — that's what Early Access is for, after all. Unfortunately, not all people understand this and give bad reviews. And for the future, I'd like to see an employee who parks the cars.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No updates plenty of bugs and crashes...
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →to buggy and random crashes
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →IT DOSENT WORCK A RIP OFF
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most entertaining games ive played. Few bugs there and there but mostly smooth. Thanks developers for such a beauty of a game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →thanks you devs make a awesome game 🤝 review for you
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do like a Simulator game. So the bad first, the xp point takes a long time to get. i got 12000 $ by the looks of it every level change 4 level point to spend, 2 upgrades, bang point gone. Now the good part, i like the concept, maybe some nice looking ticket machine in the future. more workers would be nice too. Over all i like it. 7/10 so far.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After investing approximately five hours into gameplay, I find myself thoroughly engaged and eager to commit to this game for the long term. It’s clear that there’s a reason why it is still in early access. My interest was piqued after watching the YouTube series "Let's Game It Out," which showcased the game's potential and quirks, leading me to take the plunge and try it for myself. I can confidently say that I’m pleased with my decision. As expected from an early access title, the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Enjoying this game its fun and look forward to lots of updates making it even better
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Lots of Bugs making it unplayable think its abandoned if they fix this game it will be brilliant but please avoid till they fix
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →after some time seems it was just a money game for them serious bugs are there and don't seem will ever be fixed what a crock could be great game but not the way it is now
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I initally really liked how this team was heading. They definitely over sold from the demo. However they have not updated anything for over 5 months currently. I would say they're heading down the path of stealing and running off with fans money on an unfinished broken buggy game. I wouldn't support them now or ever at this point. They've left a lot of empty promises and I'm getting tired of Stream not stepping in and forcing some kind of refund discount or disbanding the EA scam program…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →we all got scammed no updates at all game unplayable. Don't waste your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a SCAM. Don't buy it. Demo was better. The game has many bugs and many not working elements. No updates, no contact with the community.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m really enjoying this gmae so far! The concept of running and managing your own parking garage is surprisingly fun and addictive. Handling cars, organizing keys, upgrading the garage, and dealing with busy customers creates a great gameplay loop. The atmosphere feels lively and the management mechanics are simple but satisfying. I especially like how you can expand the garage and improve security while growing your business. It’s a relaxing yet engaging simulator. Looking forward to seeing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →im finding the game ok considering its still early access, there was bugs that are being rectified quickly however im finding the game lacking things to do i expected there to be really busy periods of people waiting to park up to make it more a challenge however im finding im parking cars and waiting around for ages for more the game does need alot more work on keeping it interesting as i dont feel engages me for long but having said that its early access so hopefully we will see more to come…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →unplayable with current bugs
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mistakes in every corner
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont let my hours fool you. I've played this game for at least 100+ hours as a play tester. This game has changed from those days, its evolved into a much better and playable sim game offering a unique take on the job.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SO SO buggy at the moment. I'm aware this is early access but even the demo they released previously was less buggy. The game is unplayable. The language keeps changing from English, the AI wont pay me as they keep getting themselves stuck. I will await an update before playing again as there is literally no point :/ - Update - 08/03/26 - Bugs seem worse now even after updates. I had to reload the game as the customers would sit in their car and not come to the payment window. Once I reloaded,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is already fun and plays very smoothly
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been waiting impatiently for this game to come out all this time and now I'm disappointed. The men have women's voices and names and the women have men's voices and names. Some customers stand in cars and stick their heads out through the ceiling. I get stuck when I'm sitting in my computer chair and it doesn't always work with the esc key or I'm stuck with just Alt F4. The same goes for the corner of the ticket kiosk to the right of the door. The customers move slowly, they get out of the…
