Very Good

Automation is a car company tycoon game in which you design and build cars from scratch. In this game it's you who designs every detail of your cars, from the heart of the car that is the engine, the chassis, the suspension and the styling. Automation is comprised of three major game components - the Engine Designer, the Car Designer and the Company Manager. These components are naturally strung together by the game’s goals, made to be user-friendly and intuitive to use. Automation also features an in-game exporter which allows you to export and drive your vehicles in BeamNG.drive. A multitude of tutorial missions, videos, and descriptive texts help car novices become experts. Almost infinite options give the player all the creative freedom to create unique cars with vastly different engines. I recommend this game fully for those who want to build their own cars without the hassels of building one in real life!
