The gameplay is characterized by a mix of strong driving mechanics and a steep learning curve, making it easy to pick up but challenging to master. While many players appreciate the variety and realism of the mechanics, there are significant criticisms regarding the drift mechanics, particularly for wheel users, and some feel the gameplay lacks depth and customization options. Overall, the experience is described as enjoyable but polarizing, with opinions varying widely on the effectiveness of the drifting system.

“The mechanics and physics in this game are some of the most realistic I've seen from a driving game in a long time.”
“The driving mechanics feel sluggish at first, but once you put work into your car and learn how to tune it correctly, you'll be carving corners like a boss in no time.”
“Wtf are these drift mechanics on the G920... just wtf, this was made with total disregard for wheel users.”
“Same cars and tracks, same gameplay and graphics, same missing and incomplete features.”
“The trailers aren't accurate as to how the gameplay actually works; drifting properly in this game is nearly impossible.”

Overall, the game's stability is mixed; while some players report no significant glitches and smooth performance on lower-end hardware, others experience frequent crashes and bugs, particularly with high-end graphics setups. Issues such as freezing during sessions and erratic behavior in the main menu contribute to a less stable experience for some users.
“No glitches or bugs so far.”
“Runs great on low-end hardware.”
“It is a shame the game just freezes on one of the strongest graphic hardware there is currently.”
“The game can be a bit buggy, like when in the main menu, your vehicle in the background will start to slide into the void.”
“But the driving dynamics are just as bad (floaty before, too grippy and understeery with low-power cars now), the game crashes just as frequently and it's just as buggy and poorly designed as it always was.”
