    Overall, the game itself is not overly complicated, and anyone can pick it up and play it.

    Car Mechanic Simulator on Nintendo Switch cannot be compared to its PC version. It is just a porting from the mobile version, which can be freely downloaded on both Android and iOS.

    I don’t know why the developers thought this was a good idea, but all I can think is that this was just a really sad attempt at making a quick buck off of unsuspecting buyers. So, allow this review to be a warning: Avoid Car Mechanic Simulator on Switch. Just download it for free on your phone if you want it that badly. But trust me, even then, your time can be spent on much better things.

    Car Mechanic Simulator is free on phones, but £14.99 on the Switch eShop. Just play it on the phone – you won’t play it more than once, anyway.

    Payed 2 bucks for this game on sale and even 2 bucks is to much.
    Controls are broken and hard to figure out. It's a mobile game and that's it.

    The potential for something great is there, I was hoping to learn more about cars by playing but the experience is shallow and boring.
    The    The potential for something great is there, I was hoping to learn more about cars by playing but the experience is shallow and boring.
    The gameplay is just going off a checklist to buy the parts it tells you to buy, and change them in a very automated way that the game might as well just play itself. The most game like things in the whole game was choosing the color of the car and most other time it still looks ugly. The game had loads of potential, potential to teach you about the part you were replacing, their functionality, and challenge you to figure out what's wrong with the car and fix it and use your knowledge to do so. But the game can't really be called that much of a game, it's also not a learning tool, so it fails in both aspects.    … Full Review »

I thought this was the same game since the Nintendo Switch should be capable of running Car Mechanic Simulator 2018. However, I immediately realized that this is not the same game. This is a cheap, knock off of the PC version. This game has zero of the features that made the PC version so good. Every aspect of this game is trash, and it has zero redeeming qualities. Therefor, I give it a zero out of ten. It's just a cheap cash grab.… Full Review »
