The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising the visuals as "amazing" and "realistic," particularly on higher settings, while others criticize them as "terrible" or "poor," especially on lower-end devices. Some users note that the graphics can be impressive for a mobile game, but they also express frustration over optimization issues and the lack of customizable settings. Overall, while the graphics are a highlight for many, they are not universally well-received, with significant room for improvement noted by several players.
“The graphics are amazing, and you can change the graphical quality to save battery or have better performance!”

The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, as it is free to play with no ads or cooldown timers, allowing for an immersive experience. However, some users express frustration over the necessity of in-app purchases to unlock additional content, and there are concerns about the authenticity of ads and the impact of paid features on gameplay. Overall, while many enjoy the game without ads, the reliance on in-app purchases for further content has drawn mixed reactions.
“It's free with no ads or cooldown timers.”
“Awesome sim with no ads or loot boxes. Playing with gyro steering is so fun and immersive. The vibrations and sound also draw you in.”
“I think it's a weakly played out strategy to boost numbers for ads.”
“Disgusting... can't play without in-app purchases. Controls suck; every time you change control input, settings get reset.”
“It's not in-app purchases; it's in-app unlocking of any further content beyond having it downloaded.”
