    The game boasts impressive and realistic graphics praised for detailed cars, interiors, ambient lighting, and expansive maps, often compared favorably to console-level visuals. However, some users report graphical glitches, inconsistent quality between driving modes, limited draw distance, and optimization issues causing lag on certain devices. Overall, while the graphics are a strong point enhancing immersion, there is room for improvement in stability, realism, and advanced settings customization.

    • “Well from 1 star to a 5 star rating, I'm happy you made a lot of updates and optimised the graphics and frame rate. I can now play at full resolution and graphics on my S20. The best part is I can play on HD graphic mode which gives even more details. The graphics are super realistic, especially the headlights, signal lights, braking, acceleration, turning, gear shifts, high beam, low beam, parking sensors. I'm loving the update.”
    • “Because it has insane detail, not just 'amazing' graphics, the rain and the maps are all so detailed, which is awesome, and for its age and era it's just wow. I got to admit this is currently my favourite car game app.”
    • “This game is fantastic, its graphics are like Forza Horizon 4 as it is real.”
    • “The graphics were horrible. What's with the pixelated pictures and stuff? You know that this is not a 1980s game, right?”
    • “Even on all ultra settings the graphics still look like potato.”
    • “The graphics and maps in this game are worse than in the older games.”
  • monetization

    61 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    10% positive mentions, 5% neutral mentions, 85% negative mentions

    Users overwhelmingly criticize the game's monetization for excessive and intrusive ads that appear frequently during and between gameplay, often disrupting the experience. Ads are described as annoying, sometimes inappropriate for younger players, and occasionally cause technical issues, though playing offline removes ads entirely. Many express frustration over the aggressive ad presence overshadowing an otherwise well-made and enjoyable game.

    • “Everyone can play for free and lastly, no ads.”
    • “You can play the game offline, with no ads popping up.”
    • “When you play offline, there are no ads which is a good thing because who likes ads while playing?”
    • “This game only got worse and worse, and so have the developers. They used to make banger games that were enjoyable hour after hour, but nowadays it’s just about the money. You need to pay for everything, and you have to watch so many ads. The game is barely playable anymore. This game was good a year or two ago, but now it’s just a disgusting cash grab.”
    • “Just another game where the developers care only for profit, milking the ad revenue with no end with constant ads after every level in learning mode. I'm going to assume career mode is exactly the same, literally making the game unplayable.”
    • “All of a sudden I’m getting ads every 30 seconds during gameplay which kills your score, making you have to start again, then more ads.”

    Gameplay is generally praised for its smooth mechanics, variety of cars, and realistic driving experience, with many users finding it addictive and fun. However, some criticisms include occasional freezing, unrealistic engine sounds, simplified physics, control responsiveness issues, intrusive ads, and occasional bugs in mission penalties. Overall, while gameplay is enjoyable and diverse, improvements in physics accuracy, control customization, and bug fixing would enhance the experience.

    • “The gameplay is top notch, the amount of cars are insane, the amount of levels is great (because I want to grind all the levels).”
    • “Great game, it has decent gameplay mechanics; driving and interacting with the environment seem realistic.”
    • “They have made drastic changes to the gameplay and have greatly improved the controls, graphics, and physics of the game.”
    • “In Paris, after level 3 going into level 4 and to the level exam, gameplay freezes and unfreezes badly.”
    • “For instance, the mechanics and physics of the cars are just so bad. Driving School 2017 had a more realistic approach and much better handling in every way. In this game, the car just slides with almost no body roll.”
    • “The graphics look just like they did in the past with little improvements, and the gameplay buttons disappear randomly so I can't play the game.”
  • stability

    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    3% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 97% negative mentions

    The game suffers from frequent glitches and bugs, including freezing during level transitions, erratic AI behavior, graphical issues, and control problems like buggy steering and transmission. These stability issues often disrupt gameplay, causing crashes, incorrect penalties, and occasional loss of points, though many users remain hopeful for improvements through future updates. Overall, while fun and visually appealing, the game requires significant fixes to enhance its stability.

    • “In Paris, after level 3 going into level 4 and to the level exam, gameplay freezes and unfreezes... badly!”
    • “Every time you are in the middle of driving, the WhatsApp pops up out of nowhere and causes you to crash and lose your points. The glitches are ridiculous . Don't recommend until you fix it.”
    • “While the game is good, there is no doubt that there are so many bad bugs and glitches that persist from the previous game, such as the AI driving very strangely, stopping randomly at a T-intersection and then spazzing out (they seem stuck in position). Also, the new cyclists are seemingly unaffected by any AI cars and will pass straight through them.”
  • story

    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    12% positive mentions, 79% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    Players appreciate the game's large map and engaging missions but express a strong desire for more diverse and varied mission types such as delivery, chauffeur, taxi, long-distance, and racing quests. Many highlight the repetitive nature of the current storyline, limited mission rewards, and lack of features like car maintenance, door animations, and expanded maps as areas needing improvement. Overall, while the story and missions are enjoyable, players seek enriched content and more immersive, realistic gameplay elements.

    • “The missions are super engaging!”
    • “This is an amazing game with a big map, a lot of cars and a lot of missions to never keep anyone bored.”
    • “I absolutely love this awesome game and there are some things I would like to see in the next updates: bigger maps, a way to travel between maps, the ability to add friends, and new ways to complete missions.”
    • “All the missions in campaign mode are very similar and take all the fun out of the game.”
    • “Also, the coins given for a successful mission are too small.”
    • “But there are some unnecessary time limits for too long missions.”
  • optimization

    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    22% positive mentions, 61% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    Users generally find the game's optimization lacking, with frequent lag even on high-end devices and issues like reduced view distance and unresponsive features. Performance inconsistencies, such as poor car upgrade effects, buggy interiors, and occasional random lag, detract from the experience. While the graphics are praised, there is a strong demand for improved optimization to ensure smoother gameplay and more realistic car functionality.

    • “Overall the game runs smoothly and would recommend to anyone who likes playing car games.”
    • “This game needs to be highly optimized so that it can run smoothly.”
    • “There is some bugs, for example the interior screen doesn't work, also the reward system sometimes gets confused with signal inputs and stops on stop signs; some optimization is needed (still understand it is under development and could be improved), but sometimes the game randomly gets laggy.”
    • “Especially the view distance was reduced to improve performance on high-end devices, which doesn't make sense.”
    • “Game is absolutely incredible, love going on long night drives, but as an S10 Plus user (very powerful mobile), this lags a lot.”
    • “The whole game is laggy even with low graphics; taxi sim has way better optimization and is much smoother. These problems need to be fixed.”
  • music

    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 60% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    Users express disappointment over the lack of in-car music options, missing radio functionality, and inability to play music from their devices, which detracts from the immersive experience. They suggest adding customizable music features, functional radios with selectable songs, and improvements like controlling car interior elements to enhance realism. Overall, integrating music and audio features is a key desired improvement to enrich gameplay.

    • “If it were possible to listen to music from my device inside the car, it would be more awesome.”
    • “You can make the radio functional by adding a few songs for us to listen to while driving.”
    • “Game is very good, just needs some additions like gas stations, making cars run out of fuel, open world travel, and also some radio or something to play music while on route.”
    • “My problem with this game: the driver doesn't open doors or step out of the car, the side mirrors don't function at all, and you can't control the things inside the car like winding down the mirrors. The car does not connect to phone music so you cannot select your own music while driving.”
    • “None of these car simulators have radio or music like GTS2, and it annoys me.”
    • “Oh, it is a letdown; how can one enjoy everything in the interior without radio stations or music?”
  • grinding

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users express strong frustration with grinding due to progress and rewards being wiped after an update, making the extensive effort to collect cars feel wasted and discouraging continued play.

    • “I'll try reinstalling it. If it doesn't solve it, I think you lost a long-time player because there's no way I'm grinding over 3 million to buy the cars I had. Plus, 3 of them are now reserved for the subscription, and I had those from before it was added!”
    • “I did love this game at first, but after the update came out, it deleted all my progress (grinding for a whole year) and deleted all my cars that I collected for over a year.”
  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users report that the emotional experience is frustrating and unsettling, as unexpected car movements cause a loss of control and increase tension rather than relief.

  • humor

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is often unintentional and based on confusing or ironic situations, such as paying extra for modifications that seem redundant. This has led to some players finding the game's mechanics amusingly illogical.
