Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players praise the variety of vehicles, events and the Hawaii map, while criticising the 60 fps cap, the Ubisoft launcher and always-online requirements.

Many players enjoy the sheer variety of the game: cars, bikes, boats and planes, and playlists that each change the style of racing, from night drifting to off-road rally and open-wheel races. The Hawaii map and its beautiful visuals, cockpit view and engine sounds are often singled out. Criticism centres on the 60 fps cap on PC, the Ubisoft launcher and login problems, always-online requirements with server disconnects, and a grind to earn cars and currency. Some players find progression thin, with pre-selected cars removing any reason to own vehicles, and the traffic-light of AI and rubber-banding frustrating. Recent reviews are more critical, mainly about server stability and the publisher's business decisions, while older helpful reviews focus more on the content.

Praised

  • Vehicle variety

    Players enjoy the wide range of cars, bikes, boats and planes, and the playlists that each give a different kind of racing.

    Many players
  • Hawaii map and visuals

    The island map looks beautiful and varied, and many players enjoy driving through it for the scenery alone.

    Many players
  • Cockpit view and sound

    Players single out the cockpit camera, the steering and the engine and exhaust sounds as highlights.

    Some players

Criticised

  • 60 fps cap

    Players dislike the locked 60 frames per second, which holds back the smoothness of an otherwise visually strong game.

    Many players
  • Launcher and always-online

    Reviewers object to the required Ubisoft launcher, login problems and the always-online requirement, with no offline play.

    Many players
  • Server problems

    Recent reviewers report server disconnects and crashes that make the game hard to play or finish.

    Some players
  • Grind and thin progression

    Players find earning cars and in-game currency slow, while pre-set cars for events reduce any reason to collect vehicles.

    Some players
Who it suits
Suits players who enjoy arcade racing, varied vehicle types and open-world driving, especially those who like Forza Horizon but want a looser feel.
Who should skip it
Should be skipped by players who dislike always-online requirements, the Ubisoft launcher or a locked frame rate, or who want a realistic driving simulator.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with a few hours often find the early playlists and the variety enjoyable, while those with well over 100 hours more often criticise repetition, the grind and the late-game busywork.
