July 2025

I want to give Jalopy a negative review because the developer really dropped the ball, but I can’t help but enjoy it. The game is full of bugs and issues, but there’s something oddly satisfying about traveling, managing your car, and scraping together enough cash to survive. The core ideas, planning routes, upgrading your car, and exploring different environments are great, but the execution needs work. I’d recommend picking it up for under 3 euros, as it’s not worth much more. A bit of graphics improvement, bug fixes, and a more lively world with more NPCs would go a long way to make this game shine.

NOTE BEFORE PURCHASE: This game is abandoned and has an absurd amount of bugs. The game has a great vibe to it, and great attention to detail. Each country you pass through has its own brand of each good. The car feels fun to maintain and upgrade. I just wish the radio had more variation, really. The biggest problem is the copious amount of bugs. I write this review as I'm forced to stop leaving Hungary due to the world no longer generating and leaving a sheer edge that drops you into the void (Notably, I've previously managed to get through this section). Mirrors are buggy as they show terrain unload around you. The game is unpolished, but the gameplay alone I can recommend.

Jalopy is a simple multi-country road trip simulator. It doesn't have a crazy in-depth or difficult to understand car building system, but enough features to build your jalopy up and customize it to your liking. The challenge more comes from each country's terrain, road conditions, and your own planning. You'll need to find items on the side of the road to sell, take apart junk cars to salvage parts, and maybe even smuggle banned items into countries for money. It's rather quaint and over all a very chill game most of the time. I've played it off and on for a few years and 'beaten' it more than once. I will be blunt and say that you should buy it only on sale. Jalopy is not a finished game despite being out of early access. It cuts off abruptly (you can still play but it's obvious more was planned) and the publisher does not have interest in continuing its development. There are bugs with the physics at times, the journey itself can quickly become boring and frustrating if things go wrong, and like I said there's an obvious cut off where it ends. They're all things that dampen the experience, but it's still a nice experience. Just not worth the current regular asking price.

I'm feeling mixed about this game overall. Pros: Fun game play. -Easy to run on most computers. -Great for car enthusiasts. Cons: -Terrible traffic mechanics: I was 12 kilometers from a checkpoint and had to restart my entire 450-kilometer journey—only for the same issue to happen again. -Random explosions: Occasionally, your car's durability will drop from whatever state it was in to zero instantly, for no apparent reason. Aside from these issues, it’s a solid game. Unfortunately, I feel it’s overpriced for what you’re getting—but that’s just my opinion. Happy hunting!

Dec. 2024

I know that publisher took away the game from devs and killed it , but I still want to leave a review, because devs did a great job. It's unfortunate it's not finished, but it's still playable and addictive.
