What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
February 2024 is where it bottomed out, at $2.49. It has been discounted 73 times in the 10 years tracked here, typically at 70 percent off, with about 6 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 6 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 6 weeks.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 5 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 84 percent. Among the games that feel like it, BeamNG.drive ($24.99, scores 67) beats it on value, while it beats Dakar 18 ($2.99, scores 22).
Steam's global achievement data says about 6 percent of players ever finish it. On an 8.1-hour game, that is a lot of paid-for hours most people never see. This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 24 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written January 2026 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 51 percent of the 4,735 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
When i drive the clutch must be preesed with the gas but that is unrealistic! i know you moved on to ccd2 but this one does not lag so FIX IT DEVS But i love your game
It's a good driving simulator. I'm using it to practice what I learn in real driving lessons with a steering wheel and is good enough for me to feel I'm learning things! Recommended 4 sure
The game does not support the Quest 3, which, along with the Quest 2, is one of the best selling VR headsets on the market. Since October 2024, nothing has changed.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

City Car Driving scores 64/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/493490/city-car-drivingThe BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Sep 17, price as of Sep 24.
