Motorbike Garage Mechanic Simulator
It is worth that you buy this game on sale.
-
Is has some bugs. After some missions, if you try to replace the footrests, you can´t, then can´t advance. The only way is not repairing the footrests in the missions ahead.
-
Only one type of motorbike, chopper.
-
Music is cool, but repetitive.
-
You are obligated to paint the repaired parts. The first time is just curious. Then is horribly and stupidly repetitive, you feel dumb having to paint the repaired parts again and again.
-
Average graphics and I feel it has a bad optimization, as doesn´t run smoothly.

Anyone who tries this game all I can say is it’s boring and slow, and very unexciting. I went into it thinking the game would be better. I kept it hoping that there might be some improvements to make this game actually worth playing and that just proved to be my biggest mistake in the world. I regret buying it and wish I return what I’m stuck with but can’t. For anyone looking at it, I would recommend seeing if there’s a demo available first so you can try it out before spending your money on it, that’s a much better idea.

Slotracers VR
Played on HP Reverb G2 (WMR) without issue.
There is much attention to detail in this game. Track, scenery, buildings, lighting, terrain… the number of different pieces available to build your own full race course is impressive.
There are also pre-built tracks and a campaign mode against AI racers if you want to just jump in and start racing.
Slot car racing without the massive space requirements. It’s fun and you can play with friends (friends sold separately).

Just like owning your own slot car racing set in your own house without taking up the space! Make your own tracks, race how you want and race against friends

I highly recommend this game because its not a game, it is an educational simulation, this game can teach you not everything, but.. but… a very large amount real life things on how an engine works, specifically the Mazda mx5 Miata engine, the parts in this game, like the engine, the oil brands+ other fluids, and engine kits, are for the most part are all real parts and real brands, this game I would especially would recommend this game to students who are in/or want to be in autos class. again, it wont teach you everything but I personally say it is close enough, closer than any other thing out there, I have experience in autos class and I have worked on the same engine that is in this game, and it is pretty spot on. and due to COVID-19, I think this would give a lot of students mainly speeking for high schoolers, giving them a chance to still have a way to have some hand on experience for those who cant go to school because of COVID-19. and I say “hands on” because it also can work with VR as well as without VR. VR is not required, but if you got a pair, give it a wack. lastly I want to end this review with a simple request to the developers. before the first major update, the was a feature that has now been remove, and I would strongly suggest that is was brought back. the feature was all the torquing instructions that shows a picture diagram with torquing information on each part that you are assembling. that was a very important part of the game that made it educational. if you could please bring that back to the game, like maybe make another item to add to the game like a torquing spec book, something that I can place next to the radio and open and flip pages to each section that I am working on, I would like to turn the page to find each diagram for whatever I am trying to put together. and thank you for taking the time to read this far down, there is much more in this game that I could not include every detail, this game can teach you not only engines, but keeping your shop clean and organized, and again much more. thank you and stay safe,

Bought this just over a year ago when it went into early access. After hitting just over 100 hours and with no sign of losing interest I thought I’d post this review. Full disclosure - I play this in desktop mode, not VR so can’t comment on the VR experience.
I’m not a mechanic IRL but I am interested in cars and learning about how things work. This is by far the best mechanic “simulator” that I’ve ever found.
At time of writing the progression is straightforward. You’re given a few jobs to choose from (change engine oil, replace spark plugs) for customers and if you complete the job successfully you get some cash and XP…the usual unlock through progression idea. Some jobs can take hours (rebuild the bottom half of the engine) where you have to drain oil and coolant, remove the transmission, extract the engine using the crane, put it on the engine stand…you get the idea. It’s very involved but because of that incredibly rewarding.

Homebrew - Patent Unknown
Edit: Updated at 4,500 hours of play time
Intro:
This game is basically a watered down 3D modeling program with a bit of gameplay. The world is mostly empty, save for a few interesting areas to drive around and some player made areas. However, the gameplay is not the reason why I play. I play for the building. I have yet to find a sandbox building game with a better builder. It is an extremely powerful tool, letting you build incredibly complex and detailed creations.
Builder:
The building in Homebrew is done with a few simple tools. You create plates, pipes and shapes, then modify and move them to create the shapes and designs you want. There are servos, hinges, and springs with a parenting tool that allow you to create complex moving parts and vehicle suspensions. There are several prebuilt parts like engines, seats, and wheels that you use to make your creations work. The logic system is also just as detailed. Every working part has a logic box in the tuner that can be hooked up with other logic boxes to behave in whatever way you want.

Update Dev 2015: The v14 patch is here! This is a big one. The devs basically remade the game in Unity 5. Some of the systems are entirely re-done and it is overall a big improvement. I’ll highlight a few great points below, but this isn’t an exhaustive list of all the great changes / addition.
-
much more flexible building tools (like being able to adjust pipes after welding them to your vehicle, etc).
-
you can save vehicles / sub-assemblies and spawn / weld them in other projects :)
-
flexible plating / skin system: It’s only the start right now but there are already some easy to use parts for making body panels that far surpass the rigid old dog plates from v13.

The game is a line that draws between Jalopy, and My summer car. It isn’t too hardcore and complex as My Summer Car, at the same time, the way it handles its cars is not as simplistic as Jalopy. The game is on this specific sweet spot that makes it enjoyable for newcomers, as well as those who wish to replay the game.
Pros:
- Customization is the games' strongest point. You can change most elements of your car performance wise, such as swapping engines and adding superchargers and turbos. (assuming you bought the Turbo DLC)

I love this game! Buuuuuut, It’s not without it’s problems.
So here’s a neat little pro and con list for ya!
–PROS–
LOTS of customisation. There’s not a whole lot that can’t be interchanged between the 7 cars in the game.
Degrading car performance. Might seem like a small thing but not many games actually do this. The more you race your car, the more damaged the internal parts get and the performance degrades, then failures are a strong possibility.
Fuel. You need it. It’s not a game to refill it for you either after a race or a drive. Just like real life, YOU need to fill it up when it’s low.

Street Legal Racing: Redline v2.3.1
This game was a wildcard for me. Last year I picked this up and dived right in because, well, I’m a gearhead and I like to break things. But at the time, the game was in such a frustratingly unstable state that I’d get a game crash every 5-10 minutes. With that said, I didn’t pick it up for several months.
Several months later, the devs have been hard at work to fix some of the many problems that lay within previous versions of the game, and now it’s mostly playable. So now, I get a crash every 40 minutes-1 hour. That’s quite a marginal improvement!

SLRR is a game about building, repairing and modifying cars. If you like cars or want an in-depth understanding on how cars work, buy this game.
The game starts by giving you a garage, a small sum of money and the ability to visit a used car lot/salvage yard to purchase your first wreck of a car.
Working on cars is the core element of the game. Vehicles are incredibly detailed with dozens of swappable components. You’ll spend about 70% of your time in the garage trying to make your car go as fast as you can afford. The remaining 30% is spent on actually driving your car around a GTA-esque city, earning money by doing street races during the day and drag races at night (hint: drag races are more profitable by several orders of magnitude), running away from police if they try to pull you over as well as trying to keep the parts on your car that you spent the last 30 minutes saving up for from falling off.

Toy Road Constructor
Toy Road Constructor is an unfinished mess of bugs that skipped the Early Access stage. Right from the start when starting a new game it has a map selection and there is currently only 1 available and the other states “Coming Soon!” This is never mentioned on the store page that game is unfinished. I managed to finish the first level, but encountered numerous bugs:
-
Clipping through walls and objects - can walk off the map
-
Clunky interface
-
An object can be rotated to where it clips other objects

I dont really know exactly how to write a good review never have wrote one before but i just had to write one up for this game so here it goes
To start i gotta say there is not to much i have to say for a bad review so ill doo that first lol
I MISS the when you would have to connect to wheels to the motor with the frame option of transmission i do believe it was it was great but maybe make it option just for looks and i really liked that but the only other complains i had have already been fixed so no point even discussing those

In A Nut Shell
An amazing sandbox game that allows you to create Cars, Jets & maps with its ingame easy to use yet powerful tools.
The players have built things beyound cars and jets using the current tools in the game as of this review .
Race Against high score ghosts that are set based on the best “Time Trial” score.
Share your builds or download others using workshop -or- using the games own website that is connected directly to the game’s build mode.
Did I mention that there is damage physics in this game !!? Yes crash away like burnout all you want and if that wasnt enough you can slow down time burn out style and watch it all happen.

Cute hand painted visuals and a very interesting platform battle mechanic. This game is great to try out for a game night with a couple of friends! Basically you try to build up and try to keep your friends below where the encroaching waves kill those too slow. There’s multiple items you can get and use to change the platforms and hinder your opponents.
An in-game tutorial is lacking but you can just watch the 2nd video on the store page for a tutorial with some good tips for advance gameplay.
