What people are saying

The Real Review

People are mostly positive about Scrap Mechanic's core creative building, especially its physics and vehicle crafting, with creative mode getting particular love. That said, the game's technical performance is a major and frequent complaint, with players on PC regularly hitting bugs and poor optimization. The survival mode is a divisive part of the experience, but the recent Chapter 2 update was very well received. If you're here to engineer crazy machines with friends, it's a blast, just expect some jank along the way.
