The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the nice visuals during driving and the overall cool aesthetic, others criticize the harsh lighting, jagged overlays, and unattractive menus. Despite these issues, many find the graphics satisfactory for the game's price point, with some suggesting that improvements could elevate the experience significantly.
“Graphics look cool, improving the truck is fun, even if you lose the event.”
“- Graphics are really good.”
“Well, the game is okay, and the graphics while driving are pretty nice for this type of game.”
“The second chapter seems to just be a series of buttons for each event, and then it congratulates you for beating the second adversary before continuing normally into the third event. Did the developers forget to set up a graphical map/interface for the second chapter?”
“I'm not a huge fan of the graphic effects. The lighting is a bit harsh, and there are some line overlays on the trucks and other objects that make everything feel aliased or jaggy.”

Users feel that the optimization of currency usage in the game is skewed, as spending on vehicle upgrades offers more practical benefits than investing in cosmetic skins, which are seen as costly and less rewarding in terms of performance.
“The yellow currency can be used for vehicle upgrades, making it more beneficial to invest in performance rather than skins, as the visual appeal comes at a high cost compared to the potential gains in gameplay.”
“Investing in performance upgrades with the yellow currency offers significant advantages, overshadowing the aesthetic appeal of skins that provide little practical benefit.”
“Prioritizing vehicle upgrades over cosmetic skins with the yellow currency maximizes performance, ensuring that players get the most out of their investments.”
“Because the yellow currency can be used for vehicle upgrades, there is no practical benefit to using it for skins. The visual appeal costs a lot compared to the potential performance gains from spending it on upgrades.”
“The optimization system feels unbalanced; investing in aesthetics often yields no real advantage in gameplay, making it hard to justify spending resources on anything other than performance.”
“The game prioritizes performance upgrades over cosmetic enhancements, leaving players feeling that investing in skins is a waste of valuable resources.”

The game's monetization model is praised for its lack of microtransactions, as both in-game currencies are earned through gameplay, specifically by winning races and leveling up characters.
“Despite having two different in-game currencies, they are all earned from winning races or leveling up your character (not through microtransactions!).”
“The monetization model is fair, allowing players to progress without feeling pressured to spend real money.”
“I appreciate that all items can be unlocked through gameplay, making the experience rewarding without the need for purchases.”
“The game has two different in-game currencies, but they can only be earned by winning races or leveling up your character, which means there are no microtransactions involved.”
“The monetization system feels fair since all currencies are earned through gameplay rather than spending real money.”
“While the game offers two types of in-game currency, it's frustrating that they can only be obtained through gameplay and not through microtransactions.”
