Came for the junker, stayed to bomb hills in the old truck. Great game, a lot to do even in early access. From late night street racing, to selling all types of resources (logs, firewood, barrels of maple syrup, selling radios to a sketchy guy in the back of his car, and finally green), there's a lot to do. There's a lot of things to learn either by looking stuff up or trial and error (finally learning how to produce maple syrup was a fun experience). There's a lot more that I'm not touching on to not spoil too much but overall, I'm so glad I came across this gem. Fantastic job dev, I can really feel the love you put in your work.

It's like if My Summer Car tried to actually be a fun game rather than a social experiment in frustration. Highly addictive once you start making money to upgrade the car and make investments to sources of money.

This game helped me come to terms that, sometimes, life long dreams aren't meant to come to fruition. Anyway, I'm moving to a hut in the woods of Canada permanently, using Mon Bazou, thanks Santa Goat, you truly are the GOAT.

Mon Bazou, a quirky open-world survival and car-building simulator developed by Santa Goat, is a peculiar gem in the vast catalog of indie games on Steam. At first glance, it might seem like just another sandbox builder, but beneath its rough edges lies a surprisingly deep and engaging experience that blends humor, customization, and a distinct rural Canadian charm. The game places you in the shoes of a young man living in the backwoods of Quebec, trying to build a street racing car while managing life in a remote shack and slowly working your way up from nothing. It’s as much a life simulator as it is a car mechanic game, and its ability to straddle these genres is what makes it stand out. One of the strongest aspects of Mon Bazou is its unapologetic attention to detail in automotive mechanics. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the depth of the vehicle customization system. You start with a rusty shell of a car and slowly upgrade and rebuild it through scavenging, earning money, and buying parts. The process of fixing up your car is satisfying and authentic—bolting on new components, tuning your engine, and even manually aligning parts feels tactile and rewarding. What adds to this realism is the inclusion of actual mechanical consequences: fail to maintain your vehicle properly, and it will break down, stall, or fail entirely. The game doesn’t hold your hand through these systems, which can be frustrating for newcomers but is ultimately rewarding for those willing to learn. Outside of the garage, the game presents an intriguing slice-of-life loop that captures the monotony and charm of rural life. You chop firewood, deliver maple syrup, grow plants, and even build a sugar shack for syrup production. The activities are repetitive by design, echoing the slow rhythm of country living, but they also serve as necessary tasks to fund your car-building dreams. There's a cozy, satisfying progression that comes from improving your living conditions—installing electricity, buying a computer, acquiring a fridge—until your hovel becomes a proper home. This mundane grind might not appeal to everyone, but it’s part of the game’s meditative appeal. Where Mon Bazou truly carves its own identity is in its tone. The humor is distinctly Canadian, filled with slang, absurd dialogue, and tongue-in-cheek references to small-town life. It's silly without being grating, and the game doesn’t take itself too seriously, even when it simulates car physics with surprising accuracy. There’s a charm in the janky animations and clunky UI, a roughness that feels intentional and endearing rather than amateurish. The stylized graphics are functional, not flashy, but they do enough to convey the quirky personality of the game world. It’s an aesthetic that fits the game’s identity: DIY, a little trashy, but full of soul. Multiplayer is still on the developer’s roadmap, and while the game is currently single-player only, its systems are robust enough to keep you engaged solo for dozens of hours. The developer, Santa Goat, has been highly active in updating the game, frequently adding new features, expanding mechanics, and taking community feedback seriously. This ongoing development is a crucial part of Mon Bazou’s appeal—players know that their time investment is not in a stagnant product but in a growing, evolving world. The roadmap includes major quality-of-life improvements and content additions, such as enhanced racing mechanics and more building options, promising a strong future for the game. In summary, Mon Bazou is not just a car game, nor is it merely a survival sim—it’s an unpolished but earnest love letter to backwoods tinkering, independence, and the joy of building something from nothing. It succeeds not in spite of its roughness, but because of it. If you're looking for a polished AAA experience, this might not be the game for you. But if you enjoy quirky indie titles that offer depth, personality, and a unique vision, Mon Bazou is well worth your time. It's a strange, oddly captivating journey into rural Canadian life—one maple syrup delivery at a time. Rating: 9/10
