The simulator genre in video games has many fans and attracts those who are not gamers because there are those who like to experience things that they cannot do in the real world and want it to be as close to reality as possible and be a complete and realistic experience.
Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator 2021 is the only choice for those who want a simulator where they do motorcycle repairs and upgrades.
Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator 2021 was released in November 2021 for PC, January 2023 for Nintendo, November 2023 for Xbox and in It was at last released for PlayStation in June 2024.
The games of the simulator genre may be about something that has a lot of fans, such as car racing, or it may be about something that has less fans and people go to experience it who have already been looking for such a thing and gamers wont randomly see this games and buy them.
I think motorcycle mechanic simulator is of the second category and not a game that someone randomly sees in the store and decides to buy it, now is this game suitable for those who are looking for such an experience?
GAMEPLAY
In the gameplay, much attention has been paid to the details of motorcycle parts, and it is detailed and realistic, and it can be said that it has been successful in this part.
There are several different types of motorcycles in the game, each of which has several motorcycle models: Texas riders, urban knight choppers, punch bikes, Cheyenne rovers, desert eagle racing, gizzy motors and sport race motors, and some of these just have one model, like Texas riders, which only has the spitfire, or some of them can have several models, like sport race motors, which has three models: Sporty, Naky, and Toury.
The variety of motorcycles in the game has increased the variety of the gameplay and prevents repetition, every customer who brings his/her motorcycle to your shop for repair or upgrade has a different request, and some may be short or long, any type of motorcycle is different in The way its parts are placed and you have to remove other parts that are blocking the part you want to get to the desired part and then repair or replace that part.
but the big problem in the gameplay is the lack of tools for disassembling and assembling the parts, which means that you only select the wanted part and remove it, or by looking at its screws and holding X, you disassemble the screws one by one and you cant use any tools and This gives a big blow to the realism of this simulator, the second problem is that the controls are not rememberable and sometimes they are not smooth and can be annoying.
One of the most unexpected and very good things in the game is the skilltree, where you can get new abilities or improve your current abilities, your skill points will increase by completing each task.
In this game, your goal is not only focused on repairing motorcycles, but one of your goals is to get new garages and expand your business to more areas, and this has given more variety to the game, in the garages that You can buy the devices you need that have been unlocked for your level and put them in the garage according to your taste, such as: tire balancer, brake lathe, tire changer and etc.
After finishing repairs or upgrades, you can take that motorcycle for test drive in the map and drive with it, and if there is a problem, you will notice that, but unfortunately, not much work has been done on this part of the game and its controls can be annoying. in my opinion this part has a lot of untapped potential.
VISUALS
Visually, the garage environment is not very eye-catching and the textures are low quality and could be better, but the motorcycles are visually good and acceptable, although they could also be better and the reflections, shadows and quality of the textures could be better.
CONCLUSION
Motorcycle Mechanic Simulator 2021 has a great variety in the number of motorcycles, and each of these motorcycles has a unique, realistic and detailed arrangement of parts, but the lack of tools and annoying control is the negative part of its gameplay. This game is the only option for those who are looking for a simulator of motorcycle repairs and upgrades, and it is good and suitable.
