Evaluation

My Winter Car launched into Early Access on December 29, 2025, and Amistech Games has maintained a relentless update cadence ever since. All 10 developer news posts on record are feature patches, and they span from January 2026 through September 17, 2026 — the day of this evaluation — with no gaps longer than a few weeks. These are not minor maintenance patches: each update delivers a meaningful mix of new mechanics, systems, and content alongside bug fixes. Recent additions include an intro cutscene, leisure time activities for NPC characters, new car parts (lug wrench, heater controls box, fabric rolls), carbon monoxide poisoning, ice race result saving, and numerous gameplay simulation improvements. No 1.0 release date or completion roadmap has been announced, and the developer has made no statements indicating that Early Access is nearing its end. The game is clearly in vigorous, ongoing development.

About this game

This is the ultimate sequel to the acclaimed My Summer Car. 

My Winter Car is a first person survival game about owning, assembling and maintaining an old project car. You buy and sell all sorts of random parts for to build the car while trying to maintain your money situation. In the long run you might want to build it a regular every day car, or a race car for either Rallying or Circuit racing. Or you might want to turn it into a cool as possible tuning masterpiece... unless you instead have an urge to restore it and register as a historical vehicle.

  • First person survival game with Permanent Death feature

  • Full car and engine assembly with almost 200 unique parts

  • Detailed driving, vehicle condition and engine simulation

  • Various other usable cars spawning from 1960s to 1990s as well as truck and tractor

  • Dozens of kilometers snowy forest roads, icy highways and even ice roads on top of the lake surface

  • Player body temperature simulation

  • A lot of different job opportunities 

  • Rallying and Circuit racing to either participate in or enjoy as a spectator

  • Harsh mid-winter Finnish weather, dark and cold

  • Realistic Law enforcement that gets after you if you do stupid things

  • Limited support for steering wheel and shifter controllers

  • Much more!

Even with all the fun and interesting things, there is still terrible coldness and darkness of Finnish winter that makes the life dangerous, depressing and tiring. It is hard to keep a track even of the time of the day. World around seems to go forward, but player is spiraling even deeper in the pit he was establishing already in the original game. 

BE WARNED: This game is for players who already master the challenge of My Summer Car. Definitely not recommended for any player not familiar with the original installment.
