stability7 negative mentions

Unique and highly innovative rally racing game set on different planets with realistic and detailed physics, including vehicle damage and tuning.
The addition of RCS thrusters adds a new dimension to controlling vehicles, increasing skill ceiling and player engagement.
Excellent replayability due to procedural daily/weekly races, track editor, and multiple vehicle classes and planets.

Extremely low traction and slippery physics on most surfaces frustrate many players, making driving challenging and sometimes unenjoyable.
Camera and replay system lack flexibility, with fixed views and limited control, breaking immersion especially during crashes or flips.
Some players report performance issues on low-end hardware and Steam Deck, along with repetitive menus, minimal graphical options, and occasional bugs.

The gameplay of this racing sim is praised for its deep, punishing, and realistic mechanics that blend traditional driving with unique thruster-based midair control and strategic drone scouting. The gradual learning curve and varied environmental hazards create an expansive skill ceiling, while the innovative use of RCS thrusters adds a fresh layer of complexity and fun. Overall, the game offers a challenging yet rewarding experience with immersive physics and novel mechanics that stand out in the racing genre.
- “This game is excellent, really nice physics, tuning and gameplay loop.”
- “The gradual work up from basic UTV to the Exo6 (6x6) class rover eases you into the new mechanics of low gravity and RCS (small rockets that can be used to alter the orientation of the rover despite tire traction), and you feel like a badass managing RCS fuel, speed, and damage when you start to master the RCS controls to take riskier lines.”
- “I have seen many driving games try to pile on a ton of features that end up distracting from the driving experience, and this game has avoided that pitfall, providing one addition to the usual driving mechanics you'd expect in the form of the RCS thrusters and integrating it very well into the gameplay.”
- “In terms of gameplay, I wish the vehicles felt more loose; the braking and steering feel pretty poor and yes I understand you can tune them, but even still it just feels odd.”
- “Every cliff and crater instantly punishes carelessness with total mechanical ruin.”
- “Exo Rally Championship might look colorful with its vibrant, cheerful planets, but at its core, it's a rock-hard, mechanical simulation that forgives absolutely zero mistakes.”

The graphics are generally praised for their unique, immersive alien landscapes and strong sci-fi aesthetic, contributing greatly to the game's atmosphere and feel. While visuals are not cutting-edge or highly customizable—with limited graphics settings and occasional performance issues—the style and design resonate well with players, offering a distinct and engaging look that complements the gameplay. Some minor annoyances include minimal options, long load times, and moments of graphical simplicity, but overall the visuals are viewed as a standout aspect enhancing the driving experience.
- “The handling feels good, the difficulty curve isn't too steep for a casual player like me (be sure to adjust the difficulty), and the visuals and landscapes are top notch, as expected from the Exo One developers.”
- “Driving feels great, progression is good, graphics are beautiful and really do a great job of creating believable alien landscapes to crash into.”
- “I usually don't mind graphics (RBR fan ), but damn does this game look beautiful, they really set the overall tone of the game.”
- “Graphics options don't exist; it's all global: 'low', 'medium', 'high', with no further details.”
- “There are some minor annoyances like unskippable intros before the race, UI being dumb in a few places, barebone audio and graphics settings, and optimization being so-so.”
- “Abysmal performance (completely unplayable, doesn't even hit 60fps with FSR set on blurry mess), ugly visuals, floaty car controls.”
optimization
21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
19% positive mentions, 62% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions
Optimization for the game is generally praised, with many users reporting stable, high frame rates and smooth performance, especially at 1080p and higher settings. While some minor issues like long loading times, occasional stuttering, and variability based on vehicle tweaks exist, the developer’s regular updates and direct communication help address these. However, performance can be inconsistent on lower-end hardware such as the Steam Deck, and a few users note some settings and UI limitations.
- “For anyone wondering, this game is on the more well-optimized side of UE5 productions.”
- “On top of all of that, it's stable, optimized, and I haven't found a single bug, a rare breath of fresh air in the modern age of early access releases.”
- “No issues with performance whatsoever, high settings (no FSR), 1440p 144+ fps with no stutters and a very stable frame time.”
- “Abysmal performance (completely unplayable, doesn't even hit 60fps with FSR set on blurry mess), ugly visuals, floaty car controls.”
- “The performance is also pretty bad.”
- “Game performance is disappointing on the Steam Deck (though I admittedly own the slightly weaker LCD variant).”
story

The story in this racing game is minimalistic yet charming, offering light narrative elements and character development without overshadowing the core racing experience. Players appreciate the nostalgic vibe and rally-style storylines, though some feel the story mode is unnecessary or underdeveloped. Overall, it enhances the atmosphere without hindering gameplay.
- “The story is limited but charming, and the characters develop some personality over the hours.”
- “I'm loving the story vibe and the characters, takes me back to the 90s in the best way.”
- “Story is pretty decent so far, better than I would expect from a racing game.”
- “Also, for some reason recent racing games believe we need a story mode.”
- “Dear devs, of every racing game, please take note: racing games don't need a story, and if you're going to make it half baked anyway, please kindly don't bother and give me a championship instead.”
- “There's also characters that speak to you, but I'm not sure if there's an actual story.”
atmosphere
16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
56% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 19% negative mentions
The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its immersive and realistic depiction of rally racing across diverse planetary environments, featuring unique mechanics like variable gravity, atmospheric hazards, and vehicle management. Players highlight the compelling blend of stunning visuals, challenging conditions, and a gritty sci-fi tone that enhances the intensity and authenticity of the experience. Overall, the atmospheric design significantly elevates the game's immersion and excitement.
- “Playtested it for dozens of hours and now here with the full release, it's easy to say they've made one of the most unique and atmospheric rally experiences around.”
- “A perfect balance of simulation, rally raid and a splendid atmosphere makes this a tremendous rally game.”
- “First off, this game's atmosphere is immaculate, it really feels like you are racing in a real league with real stakes, which ties in very well with the razor thin margins you have in terms of gameplay, having to balance going fast with avoiding damage, managing fuel and heat levels, and possibly getting killed if you get too reckless.”
- “RCS needs fuel, your rover gets lighter as it's used, the thrusters overheat if overused, and in thin atmospheres they won't cool as fast.”
- “You will experience hitting a small bump way too fast that sends you flying into the atmosphere.”
- “Indeed, not only will you have to consider the track ahead of you, but how the gravity, atmosphere, and terrain composition of each planet is going to factor into your runs.”
music

69% positive mentions, 16% neutral mentions, 15% negative mentions
The music in the game is widely praised for its ambient, atmospheric, and fitting style that enhances the rally and sci-fi vibes without being intrusive. Players appreciate the high-quality sound design, including environmental effects and voice acting, though some note that the soundtrack often plays more during replays than actual gameplay. Overall, the soundtrack and sound effects significantly contribute to the immersive and intense experience.
- “The music is also top notch, intense future-y ambient with a pinch of psychedelic electric guitar, fits the mood perfectly.”
- “The sound design is amazing, with gravel, sand, rain, meteors, wind, all rumbling around your vehicle along with cool music.”
- “The soundtrack also perfectly reflects this vibe, and it feels rewarding hearing the soundtrack kick in as you get closer to the end of a particularly challenging stage.”
- “As is the music and sounds.”
- “10/10 on lack of an annoying soundtrack.”

The game generally runs smoothly and is visually impressive, offering a variety of vehicle classes and unique low-gravity racing mechanics. However, some users report buggy behavior and limited experience with certain vehicle types, which may affect overall stability. Overall, stability is good but not without occasional issues.
- “Game runs great.”
- “The game looks and runs great as well!”
- “Runs great.”
- “This game is quite buggy, and in my opinion, not worth the hassle.”
- “The fantasy of what you probably expected, fast dune buggy type thing with 6 axis of thrusters, only happens with 1/4 of the car classes and the 3rd one you get access to.”
- “If you're not familiar with RCS, think of thrusters you see astronauts use to do space walks and now apply it to a 600 horsepower space buggy trying to stay upright as it launches 30 feet into low-gravity air.”
replayability
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
75% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
The game offers exceptional replayability through its procedural daily and weekly races, along with a robust custom track editor, ensuring players can continually experience fresh content and challenges.
- “Worth mentioning is the huge replayability the game offers—between the track editor and the procedural daily/weekly races, you'll never get bored running the same stages over and over.”
- “Daily stage leaderboards and a custom stage editor give this unlimited replayability.”
- “The benefit of this is that you can even create your own tracks, meaning there is a fair amount of replayability.”

grinding
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions
Grinding in the game is seen as a mixed experience—while the core driving is enjoyable and well-designed, the accompanying F1 systems and repetitive pickup routines are considered tedious and detract from the overall fun.
- “It's a very cool concept and the actual driving is fun, but the F1 systems and setup around the racing are just kind of tedious to me.”
- “Same with the pickup routine at the end, cool but tedious every single time.”
