The gameplay of Driveclub offers a blend of realistic simulation and accessible mechanics, appealing to a wide range of racing fans, though it lacks variety in gameplay modes. While the driving model leans towards simulation and can be challenging, the game excels in its presentation and controls, providing an engaging experience, especially in its online rival club challenges. However, some players feel it could benefit from additional content and refinement before release.
- “Driveclub blends the complexity of realistic simulation with inviting mechanics and gives just enough leeway to evoke heart-pumping power and intensity in every kind of racing fan.”
- “The driving model is a little closer to the simulation than to the arcade end of the spectrum and the mechanics can sometimes be punishing, but nothing else compares to the feeling of finally nailing a tough sequence of hairpins on the fifth or tenth try.”

- “While lacking in its core gameplay variety, the endless potential of its online rival club challenges opens up this next-gen racer in ways never before seen.”
