My Summer Car Review

“My Summer Car” takes players on a nostalgic journey through a uniquely Finnish summer, balancing car mechanics, survival elements, and casual life simulation. As you engage in the heartwarming yet chaotic task of building and repairing a car, you will find yourself submerged in a world that hilariously complements the thrills of cardio workouts.

Gameplay

The gameplay in “My Summer Car” is engaging and often leads to unexpected moments of chaos, which can certainly distract you from the grind of running or biking. The experience is a blend of building, driving, and daily chores—whether you’re tuning your car, visiting the local store, or trying to avoid drunken mishaps. The routine of gathering parts and fueling up your vehicle pulls you in, making it difficult to notice how much time has passed on the treadmill. However, there are slow sections where gathering items or completing tasks can feel drawn out, risking interference with maintaining your desired workout intensity.

Treadmill and Bike Compatibility

“My Summer Car” demands your attention to detail, and while it doesn’t rely on quick reflexes or twitch gameplay, it does require players to be fairly engaged with a controller or keyboard. Thankfully, the game is not overly fast-paced, which allows for more manageable interactions while exercising. You aren’t going to be performing rapid succession inputs that would typically break your stride, which is a blessing for those of us mixing gaming with fitness.

Computer Requirements

It runs well on mid-range systems, allowing players to focus on the experience rather than worrying about performance issues. However, it’s worth noting that the game’s idiosyncratic graphics and physics can demand more from your system as you crank settings up, so ensure your rig can handle the occasional hiccup.
