I hardly notice any bugs and it's definitely worth the price! But it goes on sale for 25% off regularly so it might be worth it to wait if you want to get it on sale

I got it when it was on sale and have played it for many hours and hours. It's brilliant!

short answer - if you like realism (realistic physics) and you're ok with sandbox games, then YES it's totally worth it.

it highly depends what you expect from the game. it's a sandbox vehicle simulator, but offroad and rally physics are rather bad. also there's no dust/dirt that sticks to vehicles.

i've been making videos on BeamNG since it was first made available and after 10+ years it's STILL in early access, this should tell you something about the game already.

I used to do daily BeamNG videos, but i got frustrated with constant bugs, that's why i barely even touch the game anymore. almost every update breaks something.

only reason why i still have it installed, is for the unique vehicle physics that beamng offers, no other game offers this. wreckfest has visually realistic damage, but rest is arcade. while beamng is realistic in almost every way.
damage is most realistic i have ever seen for sure, but also generic vehicle physics. if your fuel tank gets damaged, fuel starts leaking and there's a risk of catching fire.
if your radiator gets damaged, engine starts to overheat.
same with oil pan, if it gets damaged, oil starts to leak and eventually engine jams up.
unlike other vehicle games, in beamng vehicles actually get their torque from wheels themselves.

that's only reason why beamng is so unique and popular, but i don't really consider it as a "game", it's more like a simulation sandbox, where you can test drive various vehicles just for fun. .. or destroy them!

It's worth nothing that people that come across issues go to the forums to seek help, those who don't have no need to post anything positive about the game so it gives a false impression about the game's state.
Personally I barely experience bugs and when I do these are usually easily worked around, as for performance it depends on hardware and it's hard to predict so it's a more a thing you check out yourself, if it's not up to your standards you can refund it as long as you have less than 2 hours of playtime.

This game being worth or not the price really depends on how you view sandbox and everything else the game has to offer, crashing cars repeatedly will get boring quickly, however exploring different maps, car builds/customization, mods, scenarios, time trials and the upcoming career mode should be pretty fun.

There is also a multiplayer mod (beamMP) if you're into that sort of thing.

so it sounds like it's not buggy and such i seen the reviews and they seemed good then i came in here and saw the threads about bugs and i was like what's going on here. like i know what the game is about and stuff it's why i was gonna get it. i just wondered if it was buggy yet like the posts was saying or if most got fixed or whatever. i'm tempted to get it right now but i think there's a big sale comeing up here soon so i might wait for that
