The reviews overwhelmingly indicate that the game lacks a meaningful story, with many players expressing a desire for a narrative or mission structure to enhance gameplay.

Overall, the current version is seen as unpolished and in need of significant development to become more enjoyable.
“It is obviously still in the early stages and I believe that when the other features seen in the video come and also when a minimal story is added, it will be one of the best simulator games ever.”
“There are a couple of things I hope to see in the future like a storyline, even if it's short, or a reason to buy a house.”
“You all really need to make the co-op multiplayer/co-op story so we can actually do what the game is called, not drift/racing simulator.”
“Well the 'release' is still very unpolished, and after 4 hours of gameplay it gets very repetitive. Game devs could fix that by adding a story mode of some sort or make it more challenging. All in all, for this kind of game as of the current 1.0.1 version, I wouldn't recommend buying, but if they continue developing this game it could be a fun one.”
“There is a lack of direction for the game; not a lot of purpose yet needs a story.”
“There are a couple of things I hope to see in the future, like a storyline even if it's short or a reason to buy a house.”
