Despite AI-generated textures, audio, and music, Steam users shower hotly anticipated survival game in 11,000 95% positive reviews in just a few days

My Winter Car is the even-more-hostile sequel to My Summer Car, a brutally detailed and unforgiving car sim which has quietly become one of the highest-rated survival games on Steam since its Early Access launch in October 2016. My Winter Car just began its own Early Access run on December 29 for $15, and it's already amassed an enviable pile of, currently, 11,051 user reviews tallying 95% "Overwhelmingly" positive on Steam. Rather interestingly, it's done this in spite of heavier and very open use of AI-generated content.

With My Winter Car, "very small development team" Amistech Games has more loudly embraced the survival game label, warning players that its latest Seasonal Car Ownership installment is a fierce survival adventure "not recommended for any player not familiar with the original installment." It has also embraced gen AI more than ever.
