Its a stripped back and very focused rally game which isn't a problem at all. There isn't the unnecessary bloat in this game that modern racing games suffer from. Social features are at a minimum and reduced to inviting other players and that's great.

The gameplay is solid and feels like a great balance between the arcadey type racers and a sim game, making it accessible but increasingly challenging to master.

It still suffers from the awkward 3rd party camera making it look like you are floating above the tracks surface, but this is something that all modern racing games suffer from.

Lastly, the pace notes you receive are great. When you are in the zen state they feel so fluid and like they are being spoken at the perfect tempo. They are so good you can break your lights off and follow the pace notes to victory even in the dark.

Played with a PS5 controller that did need some remapping to get working, but acceptable considering the game came out before the ps5.
