What players say

Mixed early-access reception: players like the realistic driving feel and improved visuals, but criticise the small map, missing sandbox, weak content and bugs.

Many players say the driving itself is the strength: the handling feels realistic, the traffic rules match European practice for learners, and the graphics are a clear step up from the first game. Several reviewers using steering wheels say it works well with direct-drive and gear shifter setups. The complaints are about scope and polish. The city map is small, there are few missions, and there is no free-roam or sandbox mode yet, which many longtime fans of the first game miss. Some players report poor optimisation, stutter and crashes, while others run it smoothly. Force feedback, wheel mapping and the lack of head-tracking support (TrackIR, OpenTrack) are frequent technical complaints. Reviews from the last year lean more negative than Steam's totals, mostly over the price for the amount of content. Many early-access supporters see the game as promising but unfinished.

Praised

  • Realistic driving feel

    Reviewers find the handling and car physics convincing, especially with a steering wheel.

    Many players
  • Improved graphics

    Players describe the visuals as a clear step up from the first game, with good detail in the cars.

    Some players
  • Useful for learning to drive

    Learners say the traffic rules and the story missions help build confidence on real roads.

    Some players
  • Solid early-access state

    Players consider the release stable and promising for an early-access title.

    A few players

Criticised

  • Small map and little content

    Reviewers say the city is tiny, roads feel narrow and there are few missions and cars.

    Many players
  • No sandbox or free-roam mode

    Players miss the free-roam mode of the first game and find the career-only structure restrictive.

    Many players
  • Bugs and optimisation problems

    Reports include stutter, sound dropouts, crashes and inconsistent performance on various hardware.

    Many players
  • Missing head-tracking support

    Players using TrackIR or OpenTrack say the lack of head tracking makes looking around hard and causes collisions.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suited to players who want a realistic driving simulator to practise on a steering wheel and are patient with early-access development.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want a full game with plenty of content, a large map or free roam now, or if you dislike paying for an unfinished early-access release.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with longer playtimes focus more on missing features such as free roam, head tracking and map size, while newer players mostly praise the driving feel.
