Gameplay is criticized for being monotonous, with cars maintaining a straight trajectory unless actively turned, leading to extended periods of inactivity. The "copilot AI" feature appears ineffective, and users report confusion with controls and a frustrating customization menu that lacks clarity. Overall, the gameplay experience is deemed unsatisfactory.
- “Gameplay is pretty boring; the car stays in a perfectly straight line unless you actually turn, meaning a lot of the time is spent driving without moving, until you're about to crash.”
- “"Copilot AI" setting doesn't seem to do anything for the gameplay.”
- “The menu says it's Q & E to change view when it's actually C. The customization menu is just terrible to use; you can't see which part of the car is selected, and the gameplay feels terrible.”
