Early Access Review
Very realistic car mechanic later evolving to car tuner and racer as you gain XP simulator, way ahead of games like car mechanic simulator which just feel like a "remove the bolts with magic" simulator, whereas in Wrench you almost feel like you are working on a real car with real tasks, parts and ways that you need to learn to complete tasks successfully, with new tools, tasks and parts being unlocked as you gain more and more XP in game - parts need to be torqued properly and can be broken by over torquing, timing needs to be set, brakes need to be bled properly, etc. (you get the point), the only thing that is missing compared to the real life experience of repairing a car is all the seized bolts, dirt and rust you tend to encounter and which usually makes a 1 hour job last 4 hours, but I think we get enough of that in real life!

Some parts of the game are not yet fully fleshed out, and a notable omission is car electrics (and related parts / tuning), but I would very much assume that this will arrive eventually. Updates are not ultra frequent, but they tend to have good features within, and the developer communicates well with the community on suggestions / bugs.

Overall, if you stay aware of the fact that the game is in early access, then it is by far the best game of this style in the market at the moment, especially for anyone seeking a more challenging and realistic experience than the "remove the bolts with magic" simulators and hopefully it progresses into something even better
