TL;DR
6/10: Would be a seven, but the campaign only recognizes that the player has the required five sedans when all five are in a garage at the same time. (Never mind the fact car transporters can transport as many as six cars.)Overview
In case the reader didn't already read the review ol' Il Pallino wrote about the demo version of Car Trader Simulator, the game features the player as a used car salesman in the likeness of New York City. The campaign features good, neutral, and evil career paths, but not enough information can be provided until the dang campaign gets fixed!! Even without a story involving fluctuations in reputation and lawfulness ratings (along with the ability to receive free cars) the sandbox still features the ability to buy (or steal) cars, repair the cars, and either directly sell cars to buyers over the phone or transport the cars to a dealership where they'll automatically be sold for 90% to 110% of the invoice value. Depending on how high or low the player's lawfulness rating is, the player can either unlock police car auctions or the black market.Graphics and Sound
The graphics are certainly basic enough, and almost all of what the player will be looking at is a top-down map of the likeness of New York City that turns white during the winter months. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2702747597 The sounds are all basic. Nothing special yet nothing game breaking. Normally ol' Il Pallino likes a nice loop of good lounge music, only the lounge music that plays in the background ain't good! The developers likely know this, which is why the music can be muted, and the player should play their own kind of music in the background.Positives
The game provides good incentive for either going a lawful route or a lawless route, but no reward for being somewhere in the middle.... Unless maybe the player is looking to finish the campaign somewhere in the middle. Getting the lawfulness meter high enough allows the player to unlock police auctions which provide a third (and usually more profitable) method of buying cars. Apart from the occasional award being given for being lawful enough, if a player ever has a car stolen from their lot, the chance the police will recover the vehicle is higher. (One percent per every point of lawfulness.) If a player is lawless enough (which is done easily enough through buying stolen cars on the darkweb and having a car thief steal vehicles) this will unlock black market car auctions. The whole process of buying cars, fixing them up, and selling them for more than they're worth is fun for anyone who enjoys a good management sim. The whole process of haggling with customers is fun, although this becomes tedious after awhile, but chances are, if the player is playing on the hard difficulty level and likely paid above invoice (dealer's) price then manual car sales are a must. (Manual car sales are also good if the player has been hoarding automatic transmission vehicles, along with hybrids and EV's.) Despite encountering only very little of the campaign, ol' Il Pallino is quite impressed with the story, and while a good management game doesn't need any kind of a story, a nice story is always appreciated.Negatives
Thankfully a true pause feature was added to the game ever since the demo, and while this mitigates the effect of being overwhelmed, the player is still likely to make mistakes by multitasking through auction participation, car selling, and ordering units around the map to do things like pick up and repair vehicles or drive over power-ups to boost their recognition, lawfulness, and/or employee skills. If the player is in the process of stealing cars, then there's another much more challenging task (on top of all of these other tasks) of having a car thief return to a garage with a car without being caught by the police. Admittedly, there were a couple of auctions ol' Il Pallino lost out on because he was too focused on haggling with a customer. A campaign scenario requires purchasing five of a certain type of car for a buyer, but the game requires the player to have all five cars in a garage all at the same time or else the campaign will not advance. The only way this can be accomplished is to purchase another garage, but with the cheapest option available (outside of the original garage) being worth $25,000, the player is either going to have to play off of inside information and really grind, or take out a loan and hope they made quick enough progress in the campaign to where the cars get sold before the loan deadline passes. Even then, the loan interest is going to really eat into the player's profits. Many management games suffer from inverse difficulty curves. (i.e. Starting out difficult and ending out easily.) Car Trader Simulator is another one of these games. The campaign doesn't put enough emphasis on selling cars to random customers or through a car dealership. While starting out is difficult at any level, it's entirely possible to make so much money near the end of the campaign to where players don't even need to buy and sell any more cars.Conclusion
The developer wanted ol' Il Pallino to review the demo game, but didn't seek out his review for the full version of the game... They must have known that he'd find a bug or two. (Or were trying to lure him into buying the game, which he eventually did while it was on sale!)The honest word of Il Pallino... OR ELSE!

MODALITIES
Campaign: The story of the campaign is influenced by 2 main factors: Reputation and lawfulness. Based on which action you take during the narration. The more you will cooperate with the police, finding illegal businesses, more points of lawfulness you will get. While reputation points are based in customer experience in your dealership. Do you want to earn more money using second-hand parts instead of new? This will impact the trust of your clients in the city and the longevity of the cars you sold. Sandbox: In this modality you just need to concentrate your forces in making money and upgrading your dealership with more stores around the city and more employees.GAMEPLAY
Before starting your own business, you need to take some workers on your side. Each worker can be leveled up from 1 to superstar. You can increase it using the training center (fastest and expensive way) and make them just working in your workshop. You can choose from:- Mechanic: the most important person inside, he will repair your cars with scraps (used parts) or money (new parts) and if the customer wants, paints the car. To be faster in his work, you can invest some money to take better equipment.
- Driver: He will be responsible to take the car you bought to the stores around the city and during the campaign making some little missions for you. To make him work better, you can buy a car transporter or a tow truck with more places for cars.
- Thief: In case you don’t want to pay for cars, the thief will steal them for you. But make sure to avoid police or he will go in prison and will need to pay for his release. You can equip him with lockpicks, computers, scooters, trailer and police scanners to make the stealing fastest and with less dangers.
CONTROLS
The game is just a point-click, the keyboard and mouse is enough and the best way to play it. Smooth commands and a user friendly interface, make the game easy to learn.SOUND
The soundtrack is composed by very well made and relaxing musics. I could prefer more selection of music or a list where you can choose which one you want to run because I didn’t like some of them, but this is based on your own tastes. An even better option could be to use your own music files inside the pc or even Spotify connected during the game session.PROS
- Random Events: The game is full of random events than could may lose you money/reputation/lawfulness. So you shouldn’t never use all your money because sometimes one of these events could ruin your career;
- A huge choice of cars and different car manufactures inside the game (Suv, Hatchback, Sedan, Coupé, Van and supercars);
- Import a custom pic from your pc, making it the logo of your company.
CONS
- After completed the 2 types of stories in Campaign, could become boring making always the same actions just to earn money.
- You could encounter in some little bugs inside your own store or during the dialogues of the campaign. Nothing that make the game unplayable, it’s still in early access.
CONCLUSION
Usually I’m a casual gamer of racing games and I’ve never tried management games. In this case the game is related with cars so why not to try it? Well I’m positively surprised how I enjoyed the early hours of the game during the campaign. The little story (10 chapters) got my attention and I also enjoyed the background of trading cars. If you aren’t really into management games try it with the free Demo, who knows, you could be surprised.Zitat:
