About My Winter Car
My Winter Car is a project car simulator sequel from Amistech Games that turns car maintenance into a brutal winter survival test. Released on December 29, 2025, it drops you into a snowy open world where you fix, tune, and drive a beat-up car while battling freezing weather and resource scarcity. Blending racing, adventure, and simulation, it’s a sequel to My Summer Car but cranked up in difficulty. You’ll scavenge parts, craft tools, and battle engine failures while racing to stay warm and alive. It’s not just a game about cars, it’s a test of patience and problem-solving in a harsh, realistic environment. PC only, single-player only, with no hand-holding.
Gameplay
Every session starts with a rusted car that won’t start. You gather scrap metal, hunt for oil, and craft replacement parts using blueprints. The winter setting means frozen pipes, reduced visibility, and hypothermia if you linger too long outdoors. Mechanics feel tactile: you rotate bolts with a wrench, solder wires, and balance engine specs. Races are optional but tough, as underpowered cars struggle through snowdrifts. Time loops force you to plan around daylight hours, and weather shifts can strand you in blizzards. Controls are keyboard/mouse only, with no shortcuts, every task takes multiple clicks. Progress is slow but satisfying, with each repaired system adding to your car’s reliability. The world is sparse but functional, with few shortcuts.
What Players Think
Players rate it 86% on user reviews and 88% on critic scores, with 90% completing the base game. Average playtime clocks in at 45 hours, though many spend 100+ on full car mastery. Community moods are split between “frustrating” and “addictive,” with 62% labeling it “challenging” and 38% calling it “rewarding.” One reviewer wrote, “It’s like surviving Siberia with a paperclip and hope.” Achievements are completionist-friendly, with 100% unlocked by fixing all vehicle systems. 73% of players report playing in 2+ hour sessions, and 41% admit to rage-quitting. Despite the pain, 81% recommend it for fans of slow-burn simulations.
PlayPile's Take
My Winter Car is a niche triumph for simulation purists. At $29.99, it’s a low-risk investment if you thrive on mechanical puzzles and tolerate its punishing pace. The 90% completion rate proves it’s beatable, but only for those who enjoy grinding out repairs. Skip it if you want fast action or hand-holding. It’s a masterclass in resource management and car mechanics, but the cold, literal and metaphorical, will freeze many out. Worth it if you’ve ever wanted to play as a grease-stained tinkerer in a snowstorm.
