The Real Review

Scrap Mechanic is a solid creative sandbox for PC, with most people enjoying its core building and survival loop. The gameplay and creative tools are praised, letting you build wild machines and vehicles, and the recent Chapter 2 update is seen as a great addition. The main downside is technical: performance and stability issues come up a lot, with some frustration directed at the slow update pace from developer Axolot Games. It’s a fun time with friends, but be ready for some jank.
