beautiful driving game with amazing atmosphere and mountain roads. reflections, interiors, and small details like indicators make it feel immersive. drifting and driving physics still need more polish and servers were empty during my testing, but the base is very strong. if this gets more active players and better drift feedback, it can become a really fun online drifting experience 😉

For the price there is nothing better, shame its a bit empty as in stuff to do in open world besides delivery and battles ,needs better car audio the handling does need time to master, don't get upset snowflakes, not a perfect game by any means but it has potential to be successful if devs dont abbandon it.

Really good game. I recomend. Wana have fun with your new controller with cars? this is the game. Has a bug here and there but those aren't game breaking. Respawn/Reset mechanism could be better but that's not problem unless youre a competitive speedrunner. Got a hang of the controls in only a few hours. Well done and will recommend. Worth the 5 bucks.

Picked up this game in 2020 and have kept coming back to it for years. It's a mess, janky and looks a bit awkward and unity-game esqe, the railings are more likely to snag than bounce off and god help you if you go off the course. The cars themselves (and the game as a whole) feel like an enigma, and as another reviewer mentioned you need to spend an age tweaking the settings of your car(s) to get something that feels right with your playstyle and the game's physics. Speaking of which the physics are a strange mix of very arcade-y and somewhat realistic (in respect to managing the weight transfer of the car) but once you figure out how all of the above works I don't think there's another game out there that provides an experience like this. You will need to practice. And spend a long time labbing how all the mechanics work, but once you do the game comes alive. Blasting down mountain passes to the sounds of banging eurobeat, happening upon a stranger and forming a rivalry in 1v1 battles, duking it out for the top times on the leaderboards, and all the while surrounded by other players makes it feel like a more cohesive multiplayer setting than games like forza horizons could ever dream of. Like I say it's a mess, broken and kinda jank and doesn't look the best, but all of those things are true of my home city irl, and that city is still the most fun you can have in my country. Try it if you dare, but this isnt some quick gratification game.
