Marginally better than Steep, especially in the open-world exploration department with meaningless collectibles (seriously, pointless...), stunts and landmarks. But I still find that the controls are too janky for the racing, for example a drift turn will still send you flying off a cliff and those later events can be brutal for that, so I found myself going straight for the trick-based events rather than the racing. Much more enjoyable pulling off silly stunts.

Obtaining 750 stars just to finish the "core" game though? Rude. It takes a while...
