Amistech Games have released another new update for My Summer Car on Steam, addressing several existing issues and adding new two wheeled vehicle...
Pretty much one of the most hilarious driving "simulations" available to play on either PC or current generation consoles, My Summer Car really is a journey into the unknown for players who look to experience more than just simply driving a selection of different vehicles across detailed 90's Finnish landscapes.
Receiving something of a cult following since it released on Steam back in October 2016, the game continues to go from strength to strength as more and more new features are added and existing issues receive attention, helping My Summer Car to gradually become a more complete package and live up to the early promise displayed by this unique one man pet project.
Yesterday the game received another sizeable update that aimed to address several outstanding issues with the current build release of the title. As well as resolving a number of known bugs, Amistech have also added a brand new form of transport to the game in the form of a two wheeled moped. The new bike can, as with all content in the game, be used in either a sober or drunken state, and is subject to the same ridiculous crashes and antics as much of the content already playable from previous builds.

About The Game
My Summer Car is the ultimate car owning, building, fixing, tuning, maintenance AND permadeath life survival simulator. You start the game with hundreds of loose parts and assemble both car and engine. Not only you need to maintain your car, but yourself as well. Sausages, beer and sleeping will do just fine.
If everything goes well, you have a working car which you can use for various 1990's Finnish countryside summer activities. Basically doing stupid things under influence of alcohol. After you have gathered extra money from various random jobs, you can start to tune and upgrade the car with parts ordered via snail mail. You can turn the car into a obnoxious bass-boom disco machine.... or into a rally car to participate rally competitions... or just fix it into perfect factory condition. Of course car also needs to pass the inspection or you might get into trouble with police.
Not only you have access to one car, but also several other cars and vehicles which you can use. (Mostly useful to get groceries and for towing the project car from some ditch, again).
Warning, this game is not for fainted heart. Severe car fever is required to play this properly due to it's autistic approach on car building.
