    • “The major letdown is how laggy the game is even with graphics and resolution down real low.”
  • optimization314 mentions

    The optimization of the game has received widespread criticism, with many users reporting significant performance issues across a range of devices, including high-end models. While some updates have improved stability and frame rates for certain users, many still experience lag, stuttering, and crashes, particularly in graphically intensive areas like cities. Overall, the game is seen as having great potential, but it requires substantial optimization to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for all players, especially on mid-range and lower-end devices.

    • “This game is perfectly optimized for iOS devices.”
    • “When the optimization is fixed, this will easily be the best racing game on mobile.”
    • “The game has been further optimized and is now somewhat playable (30fps).”
    • “The optimization in the game is just straight up horrible, randomly crashes even though I got a good phone.”
    • “Extremely unoptimized, every 5 seconds the fps drops down to under 10 even with the lowest graphics settings, making the game unplayable.”
    • “The game is poorly optimized, barely got a smooth gaming experience.”
  • gameplay109 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its stunning graphics, realistic mechanics, and immersive open-world experience, making it comparable to console-level racing games.

Suggestions for improvement include better optimization, reduced in-game costs, and the addition of multiplayer features to enhance gameplay variety.

    • “With its stunning visuals, expansive world, and realistic gameplay, CarX Street sets a new standard for mobile racing games.”

I have a high-end phone that struggles a lot to sustain a 22 fps gameplay, the frames drop to around 15 fps and 5 minutes of gameplay are enough to overheat my phone to 46°C on the lowest graphics setting.”
  • story74 mentions

    The game's story aspect is generally perceived as lacking depth and engagement, with many players noting a minimal narrative and repetitive missions that fail to captivate. While some appreciate the open-world environment and various missions, the absence of a compelling storyline and the reliance on grinding for progression detract from the overall experience.

    • “I also felt lost on the story, if it has one; it didn't have much of a tutorial.”

  • monetization21 mentions

    The monetization strategy in the game has received significant criticism for its reliance on excessive microtransactions and overpriced in-game purchases, which many players feel are necessary for meaningful progress. Users express frustration over the slow progression without spending money, the prevalence of ads, and the overall perception that the game is designed as a cash grab. While some appreciate the gameplay and features, the monetization model detracts from the overall experience, making it less friendly for free-to-play users.

  • music11 mentions

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players enjoying the tracks and atmosphere it creates.

Many users appreciate these elements, describing the game as entertaining and filled with laughable scenarios.
