The game offers an incredibly realistic driving experience with superb physics and handling, especially when using a racing wheel.
Tracks and cars are laser-scanned and well-modeled, providing an immersive and visually appealing environment.
The game is highly rewarding for players who invest time in mastering its challenging mechanics, making it a great choice for simulation enthusiasts.

The game lacks a comprehensive career mode and progression system, which can make it feel repetitive and unengaging over time.
Graphics and performance issues, such as frame rate drops and screen tearing, detract from the overall experience.
It is not suitable for casual players or those without a racing wheel, as the controls can be frustratingly difficult to manage with a standard controller.

The graphics of the game are generally considered basic and not particularly impressive, with occasional frame rate drops and screen tearing noted by users. While some players find the visuals acceptable and even visually fantastic in certain aspects, they fall short of the standards set by titles like Driveclub and Gran Turismo.

- “A very challenging game with amazing graphics, though I wish there were more car selections compared to Gran Turismo.”
- “The graphics and performance aren't great.”
- “Yes, the graphics are not the best, and on occasion, the frame rate drops, showing some screen tearing, but look past that and there is a decent racer here.”

The gameplay is praised for its realistic driving experience, closely resembling a simulator, which may be challenging for newcomers but rewarding with practice. Players appreciate the enjoyable mechanics, quick loading times, and excellent force feedback settings, although the car selection is limited. Overall, it offers a significant improvement over older racing titles like Gran Turismo and competes well with Project Cars.
- “I bought this game to try it on PS4 with some purchased steering wheels, and the feeling it left me is bittersweet: from a gameplay perspective and driving feedback, the title faithfully reflects the driving experience and comes very close to a simulator experience; if you don't have experience with such games, the first few times can be quite frustrating, and only after some practice can you achieve 'clean' laps with acceptable times.”
- “Pros: - price - finally a racing game on PS4 with super enjoyable gameplay, light years ahead of Gran Turismo, which feels quite outdated, and a step above Project Cars, which is still very good - loading times are not that long - standard force feedback settings for the steering wheel are top-notch, no need to spend hours adjusting every setting - limited car selection but top-notch modeling and physics, you immediately feel the difference in vehicle weight, the downforce from the wing, and whether the drive wheels are front or rear.”

The game's car sound effects are highly praised for their realism, while the menu music is criticized for being excessively loud, suggesting a need for better audio balance.
- “The sound of the cars is amazing in this game; the audio levels of the music in the menus need to be turned down because it's far too loud, but the sounds of the cars in-game are spot on.”
