Pretty good game featuring what's probably the best online mode in any racing game in the market. After many years of updates, it feels like it has enough content to justify the (now) low price point but there are a lot of iconic cars still missing and there aren't enough circuits yet (only one city circuit location, really?)
Single player mode is very much half baked and unbalanced but at least it's there.
The game has very weird choices. Shows a clear love for cars with new ultra detailed models and a livery editor displaying high res designs, but you can't just use a free camera or interact with your car a la autovista, you can't side view your car during races and the chase camera feels oddly impersonal, far from the car and almost completely fixed, I feel it disconnects you from your own virtual vehicle.
It's fun however if you're the type of player that just likes to grind times around irl tracks, the driving itself is on point and it's a perfect game to play on controller and I'd imagine it's even better with a wheel
I hope gran turismo 7 gives you a bit more of a personal experience with your car, as for now they feel like something pretty but hollow you just pick depending on the meta for an online race and less like a bit of an interactive, almost tangible digital good you can make "yours" like in the more recent forza games. Even in earlier GT games, oil change/car wash gave it a bit of interaction to show some love to your favorite car
And as a side note, not allowing the player to pick any car they want for the arcade mode but rather the ones they own with a game with this much grind is a crime. If i want to lap around monza with an enzo i should be allowed to without having to grind for it.
