Someone deep in the bowels of the internet once betwittered that Dark Souls was "the My Summer Car of RPGs". The joke stuck with me enough to try the car mechanic sim when it was released into early access back in 2016.
I didn't know it would take another nine years to bring this ambitiously hostile Finnish life simulator to a full release. But here it is.
If you want a deeply confounding game about putting an old banger together piece by excruciating piece, while periodically sweating the grime off your body in a cramped sauna, then I can think of no better time waster.
My Summer Car 1.0 came out yesterday, and a new trailer came with it. It's a wonderfully leery game. You have a button to piss, and another button dedicated to giving people the middle finger.
You can get into rally races and mess up everything in the car you've spent the last few hours fixing. If you are emotionally broken and fall instantly in love with games that do not care about you as a person, then you will probably be head-over-heels for this.
