About
Gas Station Simulator is all about renovating, expanding and running a gas station along a highway in the middle of a desert. Freedom of choice and multiple approaches to run your business and deal with pressure are key ingredients in this game.
Buy an abandoned gas station in the middle of nowhere and restore it to its former glory. Get rid of debris and broken furniture, fix up the walls, paint and decorate the place to your liking.
Just don’t spend all your cash on the looks right away, you bought a gas station after all. Repair the equipment, buy what can’t be repaired and start serving your customers to earn money for further renovations and improvements.
You don’t need to stay small. You can expand your gas station to be able to serve more customers. Also, a gas station is not just about selling fuel. You can expand the array of services that you offer to your customers and thus attract more and more varied customers.
You have various expansion options at your disposal, from smaller ones like providing toilets, a simple shop to complement your income up to big ones like an entire workshop to perform car repairs or even a car wash. There are quite a few choices and most of the expansions can themselves be further expanded upon as well. There is so much you can do here.
Restoring your gas station is one thing, giving it a personal touch another. The game offers a wide array of options to customize what you have already built and lots of decorations to further enhance the uniqueness of the place. Some decorations can be bought, others have to be acquired during gameplay.
It is not just about making the gas station look nice. The more impressive your gas station looks, the more customers will be attracted.
Serving your customers is key in running your gas station with success. They all expect to have their cars filled up, their shopping done right away and aren’t that patient even when it comes to repairs of their vehicles. You are going to be dealing with some serious time pressure at peak hours and have to schedule various tasks for when it’s less hectic. Proper time management and choosing the right priorities becomes very important when it comes to keeping your customers happy.
While you can try, it most cases running a gas station that has been expanded and upgraded offering lots of different services to your customers might be just too much to handle for you alone. This is where employees come into play. You can hire even multiple employees to help you with the various tasks at the gas station. Employees have their own skills and some are better at some tasks than others. Employees also level based on the tasks they perform and become better at them with time.
You can’t sell what you don’t have. Keeping track of your stock is important and ordering at the right time for the right price helps to keep profits up. To even better use low price opportunities, you can build a warehouse and expand it to allow for larger storage. Keeping a close eye on your stock is crucial as deliveries take time and you really don’t want to run out of goods to sell, not to mention fuel.
We created the game so that if you like, you can dive deep into management features and micromanage the living you know what out of it. However, if micromanaging isn’t your cup of tea, we don’t force you to deal with the depths of it. That being said, micromanaging some aspects like supplies or employees can be very rewarding both in terms of finances and fun.

It's very linear for a management game. It plays as a series of objectives, and I never felt a real possibility of failure, which limits the sense of strategy. Much of the gameplay consists of small mini-games (fueling, cash register, car repair, etc.), making it feel more task-driven than management-focused. On the technical side, I didn’t encounter any bugs, and the overall quality is solid.
You can't complete the game's achievement without buy the DLC : I think this should be noticed to anyone who want to buy the game. I think the game should be rename : Gaz Station : pawn of your uncle. It tells you a story where you have 0 freedom for managing things. they are some cools stuff, but it's really cheap in the way that choices are inexistant, customization is awefull, and control are terrible (i don't even mention Rudy's gameplay mecanics).

Arriving at Gas Station Simulator in 2026 is a bit like showing up to a party after everyone has already agreed the food was excellent. Ten thousand positive reviews got here before I did, the discourse has been settled for years, and my contribution to it amounts to nodding politely and saying yes, that was indeed pretty good. Which is unfair to the game, honestly. I have spent the intervening years playing simulators that learned from this one, refined its ideas, sanded down its rough patches, and then I circled back to the source and found myself comparing it to its own descendants. That is nobody's fault but mine. Setting that aside, the game absolutely delivers on what it promised. You buy a derelict station in the middle of a desert, clear out the debris, paint the walls, repair equipment, and slowly transform an eyesore into somewhere travelers might voluntarily stop. Every improvement lands with obvious weight because you can see it. Not a stat sheet buried in a menu telling you your throughput increased by twelve percent, but an actual physical change to the property you have been sweating over! Watching your station evolve visually across dozens of hours is the single most satisfying thing here, and it is enough to carry the whole experience on its own. Where the game loses me is the endgame, which never quite unclenches. Management systems eventually let you offload work onto employees, and that automation genuinely does relieve some of the pressure, but a stubborn set of tasks refuses to be delegated. Running the movie projector and dealing with the popcorn remain permanently yours, forever, no matter how large your operation grows or how many people you employ. The result is an endgame that should feel like presiding over an empire but instead feels like being the owner who still has to work the concession stand personally. Whether this is intentional design or an oversight is unclear to me, and either answer is a little disappointing. Good game. Genuinely. It set out to do something specific and did it well, and I suspect I would have loved it considerably more had I arrived on time. Late to the pump. 7/10
More stressful than fun honestly, its more grindy than I feel like it should be

This game has improved significantly since its release. It may not be perfect, but its fun to come back to whenever I feel that simulator itch. And it's not a difficult game, which is good cause I'm kinda stupid lol 10/10 I recommend
i love grindy games and this is exactly that. its fun to go from having to do everything yourself to having to only do orders and unload the delivery truck. the employees work great and only mess up sometimes when they are low level. cant say much about the free dlc's, they get you some extra money but arent really worth doing that much. sometimes the cars get stuck but nothing a broom cant fix. really enjoyed the small minigames you have to do, but the cashier one messes up sometimes. when 2 products are too close together, one gets send flying and itll ruin your streak. other than that its a great game and i really enjoyed playing it. tldr good game, grindy,

Gosh I love this game so much, there are some tedious things but I enjoy keeping busy. If I was to add a not the decal on the Junkyard dlc needs to be fix as it doesn't really work, and I wish there was a way to get a upgrade or something that just limits or removes the sand storm, It's cool but when you are running around a lot and then it cames by, you really gotta drop everything and deal with the sand piles or your whole station comes to a halt. Other than that it is pretty fun would reconmend giving it a try if you enjoy managing things, the gameplay is a nice pattern that is never the same unless you choose to. I have been playing this game since a little after release and I am excited to see what else the developer makes!
