  • optimization9 mentions

    The optimization of the game is mixed; while upgrading cars effectively impacts performance and adds realism through damage mechanics, many users report severe issues, including crashes and extremely low frame rates, making the game unplayable for some. Additionally, reliance on external libraries like the mono wrapper may hinder overall performance.

    • “These tiers are separated by your car's performance rating, a sum of its four basic stats (power, handling, grip, nitro), and you can either buy a new car which is already ranked for that tier, or upgrade a lower tier car to meet the performance level requirement.”
    • “Upgrades actually affect your ride's performance.”
    • “Upgrading in 4 stats, and racing in leagues, that take the performance of your car into account.”
    • “Terrible performance, the first few weeks the game wouldn't even open; it would get to a black screen and close.”
    • “I quit and tried to reload and play again, and now the performance is so bad it is unplayable, getting about 2 or 3 fps.”
    • “Ever smaller and tighter, more curves, sharp turns, jumps, etc., everything contrary to a high-speed performance vehicle.”
  • grinding9 mentions

    The reviews highlight significant issues with grinding in the game, describing it as excessive and poorly designed, leading to a tedious experience, especially in the early stages. Players feel that the grind detracts from enjoyment, with repetitive tasks dominating the career mode and lacking engaging content. While some note that the pace improves later on, the overall sentiment is that the grinding mechanics are a major drawback.

    • “The game is riddled with poor design decisions that include some excessive grinding.”
    • “On the downside, it is very, very grindy and has some fairly punitive mechanics.”
    • “There is no story or anything exciting to mention in career mode, rather more of a 'grindy' career covering things like win xx races, win xx races with xx car - same goes for most of the achievements.”
  • story7 mentions

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its absence, with players noting that it lacks a traditional story mode or engaging narrative.

    • “Later, as you reach the C category, it is another story.”
    • “It has good graphics, lots of cars but no real storyline.”
    • “Some players argued that this game lacks a story mode.”

    • “I say this without a shadow of humor intended, since this is not a game with a storyline.”
  • stability4 mentions

    • “It can be a bit buggy at times, but the fun I've had far outweighs any frustration from the problems I've experienced.”
  • replayability4 mentions

    Players find the game enjoyable with significant replayability due to its engaging gameplay, diverse selection of cars and upgrades, and various difficulty classes. However, a larger online community could enhance this aspect further. The inclusion of leaderboards also motivates players to return for competitive play.

    • “For the price it is, it has great gameplay with a high replay value.”
    • “The wide selection of cars and upgrades along with the different difficulty classes adds a lot of replay value too.”
    • “After each race, which is anywhere from 3 to 12 laps depending on the length of each lap, you can see how you ranked against the world. I love leaderboards, as they push you on and add some replay value.”
    • “Now that I've played the game a bit more, I just want to say I'm having loads of fun playing, and the only thing this game needs to have more replayability is a larger online community.”
    • “The wide selection of cars and upgrades, along with the different difficulty classes, adds a lot of replay value too.”
    • “Then after each race, which is anywhere from 3 to 12 laps depending on the length of each lap, you can see how you ranked against the world, which I think is great -- I love leaderboards, as they push you on and add some replay value.”
