Early Access Review
Scrap Mechanic is exactly the sort of game where just you think you've seen it all, then someone comes out with this incredible new device powered by friction with ducks.

The machines you can build in this game are limitless, and with a little imagination you can get hundreds of hours out of this game. Once you start connecting bearings and configuring controllers, you'll find you can easily slip into the rhythm of things, and before you know it you'll be buiding walking robots and transforming houses. It's the perfect balance of simple and technical, sensible and hilarious. Which brings me to my next point.

Multiplayer in Scrap Mechanic is laggy and buggy, but enormously fun. You'll quickly find yourself ramming your car into your friend's half-built motorbike, which will spasm into the air, adopting a variety of whacky positions, before settling back to the ground so you can do it again. Racing is also wildly entertaining, with cars falling over and turning off-course repeatedly if you're not careful. If you buy this game, I highly recommend you get a friend or family member to buy it too.

Overall, Scrap Mechanic is a fabulous game. While it's a little rough around the edges, it's a great experience and an excellent way to learn about moving parts and how to use them to create the machines of your dreams!

10/10 Would watch my friend's bike spasm again.
