The graphics in this game have received widespread acclaim for their stunning realism and detail, often described as some of the best in the rally genre. Many users highlight the impressive visual fidelity, including dynamic weather effects and beautifully rendered environments, which contribute to an immersive experience. However, some players have noted performance issues, such as frame drops and optimization challenges, particularly on lower-end hardware, indicating that while the graphics are visually striking, they can be demanding on system resources.
- “The graphics are absolutely stunning, I'm using medium-high graphics settings and the game still looks incredible.”
- “The graphics are phenomenal, and the attention to detail is incredible.”
- “The graphics are beautiful, the driving is thrilling and deeply satisfying.”
- “I was waiting for more detail in force feedback; nothing is like RBR. There's a graphics update for RBR that changes everything. I hope this game gets good force feedback and physics. For now, it's a wannabe RBR. I can't like it 100% because it lacks optimization in graphics, runs poorly, and the force feedback is so bad. Yes, it's a work in progress, but come on, 25 euros for this mess? Even the shifter doesn't work, and until today, there's no fix for people with sequential setups from lesser-known brands. I wish I hadn't dreamed so much about this game. It's a pretty game, but I don't have fun with graphics; I want quality force feedback and physics. Pretty is like the Mona Lisa. In 2027, we might get the game ready. Last time I give money for something unfinished. Support my ass. EVO is still in another dimension, lost. Let's see where this game goes. Don't be a fool again and support beta crap. When you go to a restaurant, you don't eat only the meat and wait four months for the potatoes.”
- “Even with the graphics on high and ultra, it's blurry compared to other competing rally games. The steering input lag is noticeably bad too.”
- “The graphics performance is disastrous; no matter what settings you use, you just can't get good FPS. There are also stutters and frame drops, even with a powerful setup.”

The optimization of the game has received mixed feedback from users, with some praising its solid performance and impressive graphics, especially for an early access title, while others report significant stuttering and frame drops, particularly in specific areas. Many players note that while the game runs well on mid to high-end systems, there are still optimization issues that need addressing, particularly for lower-end hardware and in terms of force feedback. Overall, the game shows promise but requires further optimization to enhance the experience for a broader range of systems.
- “The graphics are absolutely fantastic (and well-optimized), the physics model is superb, and the track detailing is incredible.”
- “Super impressed by the graphic fidelity and how optimized it is for an early access game.”
- “The game optimization is quite excellent.”
- “The only problem currently I have with the game, which was totally expected since it's early access, are some performance issues, specifically the game freezing for a second or more and, instead of pausing during the lag like some other racing games usually do, teleporting you based on the direction (and speed maybe) you were going into whatever you are unfortunate enough to slam into.”
- “I’m not one to leave a review, but this game is stuttering and lagging a lot even on lower settings.”
- “Every 2-3 minutes micro stuttering makes it unplayable for me.”

- “I truly don't understand what's the physics model/mechanics behind this.”
- “Gamepad/controller gameplay is definitely too twitchy right now to be enjoyable.”

- “Looks great, runs great, sounds great, stages are well made with many nuances on the surface due to laser scan and physics are best in class.”
- “For a beta, it's pretty much bug free; most things just worked for me, unlike Evo which almost made me skip this game.”
- “Constant freezes and FPS drops are still with us.”
- “Being online causes frequent hang-ups and freezes due to the game trying to connect to the server when it drops, lasting a second or so, which causes you to completely lose control, ruining a run.”

grinding
