The value story
The lowest price on record is $14.99, set in August 2025. Its cuts run 25 percent off as a rule. There have been 8 in the 2 years tracked, about 13 weeks apart. Today's $18.74 at 25 percent off still sits 25 percent above the floor, so a deeper cut exists in its history.
Value puts it in the top 27 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 77 percent. Among the games that feel like it, The Long Drive ($15.99, scores 47) beats it on value, while it beats Disney Speedstorm (free, scores 16).
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 24 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2026 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 245 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 43 percent of the 1,124 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 6 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
I really want to enjoy this game, but I can't even get out of the starting garage without crashing. Unfortunate, not worth the price. The concept is interesting, the gameplay controls are clunky and odd, and it doesn't matter if it's DX12 or 11, this game will crash in under an hour for me, guaranteed, on Potato settings... Claims of being in alpha, but if it's in alpha, shouldn't be charging more than $10. $25 is...
Good in parts, but the "Early Access Game" that didn't get any real updates for a year, then got some increasingly pointless updates, like a virality-grab attempt, a debug tool, a convoluted storage system with no clear purpose, and the bugs. Oh my the bugs. Disappearing roads, items falling into terrain. And the FPS is not great either. Maybe the first 2-4 hours can be solid, but after that it becomes increasingly...
This has GREAT potential but I hope they finish the game to the end because all the games like this never get finished. Techtonica is one of the ones i can thing of rn. Also, If any devs see this. I am a professional mechanic and 3d printer. I can scan cars and parts or design tings or help with phsics.
