Wrench

fantastic game. highly recommend switching to legacy mode so you can play career. the most realistic mechanic sim you will find. most of the negative reviews are from people who thought this was going to be car mechanic simulator. this is as close to irl as it gets. if you don't have a strong background in auto repair, be prepared to be challenged, learn, and follow the repair manual.

wrench is a hard game. I love it. Very well made mechanics, Seemless VR experience. (if you have the specs.)

its easier IRL )

TLDR; Its still in a pre-alpha state. The level of detail they're going for is VERY ambitious. But it just doesnt meet minimum expectations set by similar games. While yeah, having different sockets and extensions is fun, and the concept of having to spend 20 minutes looking for a specific wrench or having to wait for your battery to recharge is hilarous, it still falls quite short of being the ultimate shop simulator. I wish it atleast had a rolling table, maybe it could be added via mod support. That and the intereaction with the vehicle itself is QUITE limited. You cant open and close doors, only remove and install them. Same goes for the hatch and bonnet. The pedals dont do anything, and you cant hold the throttle body open. You can drain the engine of all it's oil and it'll still run like new. Its not as satisfying as one would hope to see how much you can take appart a running engine before it explodes or something. The multiplayer is okay, the VR support is alright. Its good for something to do with friends on a saturday but i cant see myself putting more than 5 hours into the game.

very fun and complex game. it could use some optimization but i am playing on a potato so that experience is likely different for everyone. it really conveys the feeling of working on an actual car. would recommend for any gear heads out there.

Game is so detailed, love getting stuck in just ripping the engine out to dismantle it because why not. Would love an update to drop for this soon as it been nearly a year with nothing.
