More about City Car Driving

Steam's global achievement data puts about 6 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On an 8.1-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 26 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written February 2026 to November 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,604 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 357 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 4,740 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

8.1 hours to finish it, 259 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 32 times the campaign.

What players say

I have played this game for a while now, and it's safe to say that the games tests are absolutely tedious, inaccurate, overly hard, and overall just bad. I get that this is a game meant to teach the driving basics, but it doesn't even do that. The games UI is also very clanky and outdated (yes I know it came out 2016 but the developers can clearly update it...), and overall the game pisses me off more than it...
