10 Video Games That Punished You For Buying Them
3. My Summer Car
My Summer Car is the game to test just how much you love cars, because it'll push all but the most devoted of petrolheads to the frayed fringes of their sanity.
The basic goal is to build a car from scratch, but the game offers virtually zero assistance in guiding the player - you'll need to figure everything out yourself or, more likely, use a guide.
And that's before we even get into the tuning and maintenance of said car, which is a cluster migraine waiting to happen in its own right.
Though the mind-boggling attention-to-detail on offer is undeniably laudable, players are less likely to delight in the human life-management aspects, as you also need to keep the player character alive by feeding and watering them.
And so, for anyone who heard the name "My Summer Car" and expected a nostalgic, easy-going car-building sim, this is basically the exact opposite of that.
