Rating and Reviews (Monthly)
This chart shows Car Mechanic Simulator VR's Steam rating and reviews from June 2021 to December 2023. Steam's rating is varying from 76.5% (August 2021) to 57.1% (December 2023).
The 306 reviews Top 25% suggest that Car Mechanic Simulator VR might be a reasonable indie success. The chart looks like a long tail distribution, which sometimes means that the marketing was concentrated on the game launch and then stopped, and that no major update or discounts followed.
Review Languages

Time Played
This chart displays the time played in Car Mechanic Simulator VR, showing a comparison between positive and negative reviews. The time played is decent, reaching 10 hours in the 80th percentile.
The median play time for the negative reviews is 9 times less than the median for positive reviews. A low negative review time (median : 40 minutes) can mean that the game crashes on some systems or that the type of gameplay was not completely clear to the players (Is the game unmistakably explained on the Steam Store ?). It is also possible that players were otherwise displeased by Car Mechanic Simulator VR and decided to review it and get a refund under 2 hours. The Players' feedback section might help understanding the issue.
