My Winter Car

I came in expecting more of the same addictive chaos of My Summer Car — but colder, meaner and somehow wiser. If you loved the original’s brutal attention to detail, My Winter Car doubles down with subzero atmosphere and a surprisingly deep vehicle simulator.

You play in first person, shivering through a depressing Finnish winter while buying, scavenging and bolt‑by‑bolt assembling a project car. The core loop mixes survival (body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue) with almost 200 unique car and engine parts to fiddle with — engine rebuilds, suspension tuning, wiring and the full messy workshop experience. Driving feels deliberate: dozens of kilometres of snowy forest roads, icy highways and even frozen lake routes force you to respect traction and speed. There’s permadeath, so mistakes (or a stupid head‑on at night because your windshield fogged over) sting hard. Jobs, odd gigs and a small economy keep the grind real, while rally and circuit events give you goals beyond just surviving. Controls support limited wheel/shifter setups and the realistic law enforcement means doing dumb stuff brings consequences. It’s early access, so expect bugs, Finnish‑first menus and uneven polish — but the world, atmosphere and car systems are already absurdly satisfying.

My Winter Car is a raw, frequently hilarious and brutally honest sequel that rewards patience. Not polished yet, but a must‑play for My Summer Car veterans and anyone who loves fiddly car sims with a bleak winter soul.
