  • The new car class system and improved progression provide a fresh take on gameplay, making racing events more fair and varied.
  • Robust customization options, including a livery editor and track builder with AI opponents, add depth and creative freedom.
  • Performance issues are notable, especially on PC, with crashes, input problems, and spotty frame rates even on decent hardware.
  • The open world design feels empty and tedious, with long load times, excessive backtracking between events, and limited meaningful activities.

    The game's music receives generally positive feedback for its upbeat and high-quality soundtrack, with some praising it as top-notch and likening it to Gorillaz-style backing tracks. However, a few users felt the absence of licensed tracks created a disconnect while driving through city environments. Overall, the soundtrack is well-regarded but may not appeal to everyone’s taste.

    • “The soundtrack is good and complements the beautiful open world.”
    • “The music and sound are top notch!”
    • “Soundtrack feels almost like Gorillaz backing tracks but all the songs forgo lyrics or any real world music. The soundtrack is great but there is a disconnect driving through cities and streets without proper licensed tracks. I get why it has to appeal to all ages, and it's nothing Spotify can't remedy.”

    The gameplay receives mixed reviews, with many criticizing it for repetitive missions, frustrating mechanics like segmented boosts, and lackluster open-world design. However, some players appreciate its simple, arcade-style driving and customization features, recommending it to those seeking a casual racing experience rather than a realistic one. Career progression and certain mechanics, such as drifting with titan cars, are noted as underdeveloped or cumbersome.

    • “To me it melds Midnight Club 3's maps/worlds with Burnout Paradise gameplay.”
    • “As someone who enjoys the arcade racing genre, I found the gameplay good, although simple.”
    • “Collectables, customization, fun driving mechanics... I would highly recommend this game if you like racers, but are not interested in a heavy realistic experience.”
    • “They are worse than all the other categories and have this wildly annoying mechanic where their boost is divided in sections.”
    • “Empty, boring open world, terrible gameplay and controls, repetitive and tedious missions, unexciting collection.”
    • “Career progression lacks the focus and resistance needed to sustain a lengthy campaign. Customisation and track creation tools held back by cumbersome interfaces. Titan cars feel poorly suited to the game’s drift-focused driving mechanics.”
  • grinding

    Grinding in the game is generally seen as tedious and frustrating, with an empty open world that makes collection and progression feel monotonous. Some players find mission repetition and gear upgrades particularly grind-heavy, though perk unlocks are somewhat streamlined compared to previous titles. Multiplayer offers a more enjoyable experience, but overall grinding detracts from the gameplay.

    • “The open world just feels empty and not just pointless but actively making the game more tedious.”
    • “Empty, boring open world, terrible gameplay and controls, repetitive and tedious missions, unexciting collection.”
    • “The only downside to the perks is that they are locked through single player progression, as opposed to simply being bought using skill points in unleashed 2, but at least in infinite rush, the c, b, and a rank perks are universal, so no skill point grinding is required.”

    The story is criticized for being empty and boring, with repetitive and tedious missions that fail to engage players. Additionally, poor gameplay mechanics and frustrating controls, especially during required drifting segments, further detract from the experience.

    • “Empty, boring open world, terrible gameplay and controls, repetitive and tedious missions, unexciting collection.”
    • “The HUD for quests and tutorials is annoying to read through.”
    • “Drifting feels offensively bad and I feel angry every time the game forces me to do it for a mission, especially when it's a car type that isn't drift.”
  • graphics

    The graphics are visually impressive and a significant improvement over previous games, particularly excelling in detailed car visuals and photo mode. However, some users experience technical issues such as crashes and inconsistent resolution or frame rate settings on certain devices.

    • “The controls feel smooth and intuitive, the graphics look great, and overall, it’s a big step up from the previous games.”
    • “Aesthetically they nail it, it’s the first time in a while I’ve felt like the pictures I’ve taken in photo mode could be used in the marketing; the game looks incredible especially on the cars.”
    • “And to top it all off, the game crashes if I turn the graphics above low.”
    • “The graphics settings also seem broken on some devices, with the game not always giving you the resolution or frame rate you selected.”
  • optimization

    Optimization is mixed, with some users experiencing spotty performance, while others report no issues or crashes, particularly on PC.

    • “- No performance or crash issues thus far”
    • “Then there’s the PC performance”
    • “Oh yeah, the performance is spotty”
    • “Oh yeah, the performance is spotty.”

  • monetization

    Monetization in the game is widely criticized as a cash grab, featuring excessive microtransactions and overpriced passes, which undermines the overall player experience despite some positive feedback.

    • “Unleashed 2 felt like a cash grab.”
    • “This is a straight up cash grab from Milestone yet loads of people are giving it praise.”
    • “It reeks of microtransactions, overpriced passes, and delusional marketing.”
  • atmosphere

    The game's atmosphere is richly varied, featuring diverse locations such as the towering cityscape of Wheelswood, the lively coastal Tentacle Bay, the bustling industrial streets of Gearville, and the serene, majestic ambiance of Drifty Temples inspired by Japanese culture.

    • “They range from the skyscraping city of Wheelswood, to the coastal playground of Tentacle Bay, to the busy industrial streets of Gearville, and finally to the majestic Japanese atmosphere of Drifty Temples.”
  • replayability

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

    The game offers limited replayability, as its four difficulty settings fail to provide a meaningful challenge, and the small number of islands results in a quickly diminishing experience despite the high price.

    • “The game gets stale really quick, has 4 difficulty settings but none hold any challenge against the computer, and they want £45 for the base edition with 4 small islands that won't hold much replayability at all.”
  • stability
