I've largely avoided any sequels as NewPlay reviews. I feel driven to have played and completed the first game in the series before I can adequately review the sequels, and I've finished so few games I'm a little bit ashamed.

Which brings me to Car Mechanic Simulator 2021. It follows CMS 2015, and CMS 2018, (and CMS VR), but it's not really a sequel. It's basically a more refined version of the same concept.

I've played both of the predecessors, but after the watching the CMS 2021 demo, I put a "lowest historical price" alert on it, and forgot about it.

This morning I got an email, and half an hour later, I had coffee and CMS 2021.

I go back to the original SimCity, on the Amiga; most of the modern generation of "simulation games" leave me cold. They feel like little more than work simulators.

I have a job, I don't want to play one in my off time (I'm scowling at you, PC Building Simulator 1 & 2). On the other hand, I do like cars, but I really dislike getting my hands literally dirty and scraped.

CMS 2021 scratches that particular itch just nicely, filling in the car-shaped gaps between Forza Horizon, and CSR2 on iOS.

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 is:

4: Good
