“BeamNG isn't just a game; it is a comprehensive vehicle simulator built on a soft-body physics engine. Other automotive games or simulators on the market treat a car as a single entity with a specific line of code…”
“I love the physics and the driving, but I’ve had to stop playing. In just one week, I’ve had 10–20 crashes, and they aren't just "back to desktop" issues—they are system-breaking. The game has massive memory issues that…”
“This game is the most all purpose game I have seen, want it for crash physics? Go ahead, but get ready to be in love with the driving physics. That never gets boring.”

“Haven't found a game yet that offers anything remotely close to what BeamNG.drive has to offer. Worth the price all day everyday. I've actually went ahead and purchased this game a second time just because I can't get…”
“great physics simulation with fun cars and lots of mods for almost every part of the game, worth the purchase if you want to crash cars or just drive around in a map with computer controlled cars”
“The game that keeps on giving, at only... 22.50 Euros! Arguably the best vehicle (soft-body) simulator. One of the few games where I can see myself investing dozens of hours into. Big RECOMMEND!”
