> Wake up > Decide to randomly buy automation because why not > Make a few cars > Watch videos about this game > Realize that you can play this game with friends after watching a funny British man do challenges with his other British friends > Get your friends to buy the game themselves > Be stuck in an infinite loop of making hatchbacks for the rest of your life cuz it's the most optimal body to fine tune and manufacture 11/10 I would reccomend

One-of-a-kind game. The premiere "Car Company Tycoon Game" AND car maker sandbox game. Play with BeamNG. You can DRIVE the cars you make in this game thanks to the partnership. Nothing like it.

If you're getting it for the campaign "car tycoon" gameplay, don't. It's the single most obtuse game in the universe with no tutorial and no explanations for how your company runs or how to stay afloat. if you're getting it for making silly beamNg cars, do it.
