That's true whether you have any interest in or knowledge of cars yourself (I know I don't). But at the same time, you should absolutely keep a close eye on this singularly captivating and cathartic game, and return once it's been made road-worthy. It's a hot mess (as the developers themselves admit) - enough of a hot mess that I beseech you to steer clear of for the time being. I've spent a day and a half so far with Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 and, though I really do dig the core experience, enough's enough.

Consider this piece to be 'what I somewhat think', or perhaps a demi-review, if you don't go in for our larky terminology.
