bought this as retail therapy because it was on sale, i enjoyed monster train, and the steam reviews said it had been Unshittened by the removal of online/live-service bs. got an absurd build and won my third attempt - i really like the gameplay concept but there might be some balance issues lol
i have owned this game for like 3 years on steam, loved bioshock 2, infinite Exists, yet i never played it until some friends convinced me to for a halloween stream
controls may be clunky as hell, but man. the vibes
literally needs mods to be fun or even playable but once you figure that out. man. shit slaps. would not recommend trying to drive a rimac nevera down the hot version touge course. hennessey venom/family SUV multiclass AI races are much funnier
sometimes i feel like this game is way too complicated for its own good and i would need to have about 7 brains to fully comprehend the game state at any one time. fun but like. just play slay the spire
i do not understand the hype behind this game. if battlefield was still good (which 2042 now basically is) this would be faintly unremarkable. its success is a reflection of the sorry state of the AAA industry, rather than any exemplary qualities of the game itself
this game will end up very similar to the crew 2 for me, in that it's a piece of casual fun i play a couple times a week when i need to turn my brain off and look at cool cars. and there's nothing wrong with that!
say what you will about the everything. this is the game that made me give a shit about online racing, which is something i've always wanted to do. i enjoy it for that
