Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed: many players say the game has improved greatly since a rough launch, but FFB, AI behaviour, performance and online play still divide opinion.

Players who like the game praise the driving feel of the cars, the force feedback on many wheels, the sound, and the career mode with its cash-based progression. Several say updates have steadily improved the AI, physics and performance, and some report good results in VR and on Linux. Critics describe the launch as unfinished: frequent crashes, stutter, weak graphics and cockpit lighting, unreliable online lobbies, and an AI that pushes players off track or drives unrealistically. Others say the throttle response, braking and force feedback fall short of rival simulators. Recent reviews are more positive than the early ones, but many players still feel the price was too high for an unfinished game, and some note the studio's layoffs and past promises.

Praised

  • Car handling and physics

    Players find the cars drive naturally and the physics feel good, with clear improvement after patches.

    Many players
  • Improving with updates

    Reviewers say each update has made the game better, and recent reviews are warmer than older ones.

    Many players
  • Force feedback on wheels

    Players praise the force feedback as detailed and engaging, especially with higher-end wheels.

    Some players
  • Career mode with progression

    Players value the career structure, earning cash to buy cars and progressing through races.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Unfinished state and bugs

    Players say the game felt unfinished at launch, with crashes, broken menus and features missing.

    Many players
  • Poor AI behaviour

    Many critics say the AI pushes players off track, ignores penalties and drives unrealistically.

    Many players
  • Performance and stutter

    Players report stutter, low frame rates and crashes, especially with many cars on track.

    Some players
  • Unreliable online play

    Players say online lobbies, ranked races and connections have not worked reliably for them.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who want a single-player racing sim with a career structure and enjoy tuning setups, and who are willing to wait for further patches.
Who should skip it
Players who expect a finished, polished simulator with reliable online play and consistent AI, or who prefer cars with well-established rival sims.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours tend to be more positive about the handling and career mode, while early critics focused on launch problems.
