Players praise Mechanical Lab's creative gameplay and excellent vehicle building mechanics, with engaging crafting systems and good variety across districts and upgrades. The main criticisms center on a steep learning curve that requires time to overcome, unclear explanations for some features, and a desire for more freeform sandbox or creative modes alongside the mission-based content.

one of the best vehicle editors I have ever played, building requires understanding specific rules but after a while you can build many crazy machines. i would recommend it to all construtors. its worth checking out as it has a slightly different atmosphere from all vehicles building games. It also offers the option to play the now-unavailable legendary game drones

It has a frustrating learning curve (hey Early Access so it can be improved!), but once you get pass that it offers a lot of fun, bite sized missions, lots of goals to pursue and stuff to unlock. See full review here: https://youtu.be/bbKXGwSDpck

good game and nicely designed building, some parts could be better explained, although there are a lot of them and its nice to discover new ones. The guided build mode is very helpful here.
