Steam reviews

What players say

Reviews from the last year are mostly negative, with players liking the buying-and-flipping loop but reporting save bugs, broken repair and paint steps, and controls.

Players who recommend the prologue say the core loop is satisfying: finding cars cheaply, towing and cleaning them, negotiating prices and writing listings, with a calm pace and clear progression. Many also say they are looking forward to the full release. The criticism is much heavier and more concrete. Many players report technical failures, above all saves that lose the bought car or money, quests that stay stuck, and a tutorial step that will not let them progress. Some players say the repair and paint system is hard to follow, with fixes that do not register, and that keyboard controls and camera movement feel rough. Several negative reviewers also find performance poor, with frame drops when washing cars, and the graphics dated. A few reviewers are unhappy with the separate free prologue store page and its length, which they call too short.

Praised

    A few players

Criticised

  • Save and progress bugs

    Reviewers report that saved games lose bought cars or money, or restart from the beginning, and that quests stay stuck.

    Many players
  • Repair and paint system

    Players find repairs and paintwork hard to follow, with fixes that do not register or block the next step.

    Many players
  • Clunky controls and camera

    Reviewers call the driving and controls rough, with no key remapping and poor camera movement.

    Some players
  • Performance and graphics

    Players report frame drops when washing cars, crashes, and dated visuals for a game of this size.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who like flipping cars, running a small business and slow management games, and who can accept a rough early build.
Who should skip it
Players who want stable saves, polished controls or a complete experience should skip the prologue until the full game is out.
