- “First of all, the graphics look like they were lifted straight from a 2005 mobile game.”
- “Graphically, unless you have a beefed-up PC, which I don't, the game can look very ugly.”
- “Graphically, the game looks like it belongs in the PS3 era, which is a tad disappointing for a genre that has in the last decade thrived on graphical fidelity alongside actually fun gameplay.”

The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively tedious, with many players feeling that it requires an unrealistic time investment to earn money for cars and upgrades.

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and lacking variety, often describing it as a looping electronic track that quickly becomes tiresome. While some appreciate the option to disable the in-game music and play their own soundtracks, others express a desire for a more engaging and diverse soundtrack that aligns better with the game's theme. Overall, the music is seen as a weak point, detracting from the overall experience.
- “It's a nice choice for a chill gaming session, especially if you mute the in-game music and cue up some classic eurobeat tunes.”
- “Great soundtrack!”
- “Vroom vroom, retro racing, cool soundtrack, what more do you need?”
- “You can just drive in circles while listening to some 15-second music loop that gets super repetitive very quickly.”
- “Also, the music is the same 6-second trance beat on loop... I almost wanted to mute the music entirely after the first minute or so.”
- “A single generic techno soundtrack bores itself into your head as you drive the soulless, looping highway.”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players noting significant performance issues such as frequent FPS drops during online races, despite having capable hardware. While developers are actively working on updates to improve performance and fix bugs, the current state is considered poorly optimized, impacting the overall enjoyment of the game. However, some players still find value in the game, especially for its customization options and potential for future improvements.
- “Developers are updating the game quite consistently, improving performance, fixing bugs, and adding content.”
- “This game has too much potential and I see a good future for the developers. They have been listening and developing all the players' ideas. Still, there are some issues like performance and optimization fixes, more diversity in car custom materials, mod support, bigger maps, and more map options. I'm sure in a short time all these will be fixed.”
- “However, the performance customization is actually good due to being able to engine swap.”
- “Poorly made, poorly optimized, not even fun.”
- “First off, it needs more optimization. My PC is more than capable of achieving 60fps on this game, but whenever we participate in an online race, I constantly get fps drops while waiting. I'd also like the motion blur implementation back.”
- “Framerate is not really that optimized in this game.”

The game's story is largely criticized, with many users stating there is "no story" or describing it as poor and lacking depth. While some mention minimal lore or the potential for player-driven narratives, the consensus leans towards a lack of engaging storytelling, focusing instead on gameplay and customization.
- “[b] 10/10 story [/b] - simple to understand yet detailed and emotional, make your own choices.”
- “[b] summary: [/b] a great title with a story that lets you make your own choices, excellent gameplay with freeform design allowing the player to make their own choices, and the atmosphere that keeps you captivated throughout.”
- “Don't expect Need for Speed Underground in the context of story or depth; however, you will enjoy it for what it offers (i.e. racing, online play, casual racing and drifting modes, a significant amount of upgrade and customization options, and a great car selection).”
- “I don't know, there is no story in this game.”
- “While there is no story, the point of the loop in real life was to be a legend on the loop, the fastest racer on the loop.”

The game is widely criticized for its instability, with numerous bugs and glitches affecting gameplay, such as incorrect race placements and freezing timers during matches. While some players find the game enjoyable despite these issues, many express frustration over its lack of polish and incomplete content, suggesting that the developers may have abandoned the project. Overall, the game's stability is a significant concern, overshadowing its fun elements.
- “The most fun and relaxing drifting game out right now for the price. A must-buy when it's on sale, and it runs great on the Steam Deck.”
- “It is buggy, incomplete, and at the current point the devs have abandoned ship and are likely to be scammers.”
- “You could finish 2nd and it could put you in 4th or you could finish 1st and the game would put you in last and the online timer sometimes glitches so instead of taking 1 minute to load into a race it takes about 10.”
- “When racing someone 1v1, and the opponent leaves, the timer just freezes and nothing happens anymore; make it so if someone leaves the match, the opponent wins.”
monetization
20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The monetization strategy of this game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with many reviewers suggesting it should have been a free-to-play title instead. Users have noted significant price fluctuations, including a nearly triple increase in the original price, and express frustration over the lack of updates and apparent abandonment by the developers. Overall, the consensus is to avoid purchasing this game due to its exploitative monetization practices.

- “Original price when the game dropped was $9 AUD sometimes discounted 90% to 90 cents, now it's $22 AUD discounted to $7. So nearly a triple full price increase, with the last update of the game back in September 2022. Avoid buying this game that's clearly abandoned and the devs are trying to get a cash grab.”
- “Blatant cash grab, the game was infected with a virus but the devs instead of fixing it, simply abandoned the game. Don't give them money.”
