The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising the soundtrack for enhancing the overall experience, particularly during drifting and customization. However, some users expressed frustration over the lack of credit for the featured artists and criticized the quality of the music, describing it as painful or drilling. Overall, while the music is a highlight for some, it has also drawn significant criticism from others.
“I am loving the game so far; the music is good, and the cars are nice. I just wish there were more cars, but other than that, it's great :)”
“The game has amazing music with the likes of Night Lovell and others, and it makes the whole experience that much more pleasing.”
“Love the music playlist, customization on cars, and awesome controls with clutch; it reminds me of GT6.”
“My favorite feature of this game was the inclusion of actual music from actual musicians that actually didn't credit them and actually omitted their names entirely.”
“So for a beta it's not very good, the menus are bland and annoying, the music is drilling and painful, the driving off the map mechanic is interesting, the glitches are fu*king fantastic and funny as hell but I will probably be getting a refund because I could use the money I spent on other, better games.”
“This game is nothing more than a music-hyped $10 scam.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising their impressive realism and improvements in physics, while others criticize them as terrible or not worth the investment. Many note that the high graphical requirements can lead to performance issues, suggesting that while the visuals may be appealing, they come at a cost to overall gameplay experience. Overall, the consensus indicates that the graphics are a highlight for some, but not universally appreciated.
“The graphics are impressive, but the requirements for the game are heavy and seem almost unnecessary.”
“The graphics look realistic in the beta version.”
“The graphics are not bad, and the optimization of the game is very good for a game made in Unity!”
“There have been massive improvements to graphics and physics, but at the cost of content.”
“Awful graphics, not worth the 10.99 I paid for it, wait a while before the game is ready, no multiplayer yet?”
“Graphics are bad”

The gameplay of this early-access game shows promise with its vehicle mechanics and potential for future content, but it is currently plagued by significant bugs and performance issues, such as low frame rates and limited features. While some players find it enjoyable and worth the price, many recommend waiting for further updates and improvements before purchasing, as the game lacks essential elements like multiplayer and a more polished experience. Overall, the gameplay is seen as a mixed bag, with a foundation that could lead to a great racing game if developed further.
“So in conclusion, the actual gameplay is good and this game has a lot of potential, but there are so many bugs that make the game unplayable.”
“For $5.99, it is a steal in my opinion, but it is still in its very early stages, with huge potential in gameplay, replayability, and even for the whole car racing and customizing market.”
“This game is still very early, but you can tell the dev put a lot of time into the mechanics of the vehicle and all-around functionality.”
“Until more is added and the mechanics are better and updated, don't buy this game.”
“It's so early still that they have to work on mechanical updates for such a long period that they can't add any content.”
“The car mechanics are strange; it seems if you do all the mods, there's enough power to blaze tires in 5th gear on flat going straight...? Maybe for 900hp, but not what you can do to these engines.”

The game's stability remains a significant issue, with numerous bugs, glitches, and control mapping problems reported by users. Many players find the game unplayable due to frequent crashes, long loading times, and frustrating control settings, despite acknowledging its potential and improvements since release. Overall, while some users find humor in the glitches, the consensus is that the game is still too unstable for a satisfying experience.
“This game has come a long way; it looks better than when it was released, with better sounds and a story mode. However, the controls are terrible on keyboard, and the controller settings are worse, making the game unplayable. Even when you try to remap the controls, the game fights you, telling you buttons are already in use without showing what they are bound to. All in all, after a year, this game is still too buggy and broken to try.”
“Crashes all the time, takes too long to load, only 1 car, no FFB support for the T500RS wheel, controls mapping menu glitches every time you open it, and the dealership locks you in (can't exit or do anything).”
“So for a beta, it's not very good. The menus are bland and annoying, the music is drilling and painful, the driving off the map mechanic is interesting, but the glitches are frustrating and make me consider getting a refund because I could use the money I spent on other, better games.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized, with many users noting a lack of progression and narrative depth, describing it as a mere test platform. While some acknowledge the potential for improvement with the addition of a story mode, the current experience is marred by bugs and unresponsive controls, leaving players frustrated and unable to engage with the intended gameplay features. Overall, the consensus is that the story element is either non-existent or poorly executed, detracting from the overall experience.
“The mechanics of this game have potential; adding a story mode, more cars, highways, and public lobbies could make it a strong competitor to Forza Horizon on PC.”
“No progression, no story; it was purely a test platform.”
“All I was able to do was access sandbox mode; no accessible settings, can't do story, multiplayer, anything besides sandbox mode.”
“There's no story and no online.”

“Optimization, I hope you have lots of fans.”
