Critic Reviews for Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator
If you're looking for a deep, well-rounded driving simulator with a career mode, then Taxi Life is going to fall short on all accounts. There are a variety of similar titles available that do everything that Taxi Life offers and do so much more competently. Taxi Life can look pretty at times, but it's a big ask to overlook its many bugs and short-comings. Driving a taxi around a city isn't the most interesting idea to begin with, so Taxi Life needed to get all the details right, and unfortunately it doesn't come close to doing so.
Taxi Life has so much promise, but in its current state it’s extremely hard to enjoy. Some menu options still have Xbox buttons assigned to them – press A, we were told. One accident we were in saw our car flipped onto its back (maybe the road rage had gotten to us at that point), and we had to quit the game and reload just to be able to move the taxi again. The lack of polish feels evident throughout the game, and it’s a real shame, because the concept is a compelling one.
Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator proves that not every occupation can become a worthwhile video game simulation. It's infested with bugs and soulless gameplay, making it more of a mundane taxi than a crazy one.
Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator is not a bad game. I don't want to crucify an entertaining experience that stayed just that, a pleasant time that resulted in boredom in the end. It may sound contradictory to say that there is a good game that is boring, but of course, the individual context influences how we experience games, being that I cannot say that this one is disastrous, but it is not good either. I can sum it up to a simple and normal game that doesn't go beyond that, a forgettable experience.

Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator is an incredibly authentic game that is only held back by some mild performance issues.
Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator ticks many boxes for those who enjoy driving simulation games, as this title provides the players with responsive driving mechanics and gives options for those who enjoy manual or automatic transmissions. However, the lackluster AI drivers that can hinder our enjoyment and breaks the immersion almost destroy my experience while playing the game. However, once the developers acknowledge and address this issue, then Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator is a solid game for you to kick back and enjoy your down time after work or college.
Taxi Life fails at everything. The performance is very poor, the AI makes gameplay very difficult, and the recreation of Barcelona falls very short in terms of scale. It needs time and a lot of work to become the game it should have been.

Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator disappoints on almost every front, save for its visually appealing city of Barcelona and well-designed cars. The game lacks depth and fails to offer any meaningful engagement.
