How it feels

You calmly drive heavy machinery and manage a gold mining operation, balancing slow-paced vehicle work with occasional stressful repairs to build your fortune.

What players say

Players are split on Gold Mining Simulator: some find it addictive and satisfying, but most agree it is buggy, unoptimized, and suffers from a memory leak that requires restarting every couple hours. The vehicle handling is clunky, driving can launch you into the air, and there is no minimap or unstuck button. Many feel development was abandoned in favor of a sequel.
