MY GARAGE is a car simulation game with main focus being simulating real car repair, maintenance and physics.
The game allows players to damage, disassemble, repair, paint, and customize cars in an incredibly granular fashion. Players can fix or replace any body panel on a car, and the suspension system features detailed components that wear over time and affect the handling. The engine simulation is also very realistic, with components like oil condition impacting engine wear.
The open-world sandbox environment encourages exploration. Players can scavenge for parts at junkyards, purchase supplies at shops, and take on delivery jobs around the game world. The freedom to freely modify and build cars from scratch or salvage parts from the junkyards is a core part of the gameplay loop.
Players delight in the ability to take a beat-up wreck and gradually transform it into a fully-restored, customized car of their dreams. The game allows complete disassembly, with the freedom to cut, weld, and swap engines, suspensions, and body panels, encouraging a high level of player creativity and expression.
The developer maintains an active presence, frequently updating the game and addressing player feedback. This has fostered a passionate community that contributes a thriving modding scene, with players highlighting the satisfaction of discovering new mods that expand the game's content and customization options.
Restoring a dilapidated vehicle from the junkyard, piece by piece, and then experiencing the satisfaction of driving a fully-rebuilt car is a core appeal of the gameplay. While the game's focus on realism and attention to detail can present challenges, players appreciate the sense of accomplishment that comes with mastering the game's mechanics and learning from their mistakes.
