  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received largely negative feedback, with many users describing it as feeling like a prototype rather than a polished product. Critics point to poor control configurations, lack of force feedback, and a slow-paced, overly strategic approach that detracts from the experience. Additionally, the game mechanics are seen as restrictive and lacking in depth, leading to disappointment among players familiar with more engaging titles.

    • “The gameplay is much more slow-paced and strategic than I thought.”
    • “Perhaps I expected too much, having played Spintires, but I was sorely disappointed with the lack of free-roaming and seemingly pointless game mechanics.”
    • “It honestly feels more like a prototype environment to test out the car mechanics.”
    • “Perhaps I expected too much, having played Spintires, but I was sorely disappointed with the lack of free-roaming and seemingly pointless game mechanics - having to feed your driver a short distance into a very restricted trail being the most obvious.”
    • “You just need to get rid of some of the crappy gameplay and polish it up a bit.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as pleasant yet unoriginal, but it is overshadowed by poor sound design, particularly the engine sounds, which resemble those of a toy car. Many users express frustration over the inability to adjust or mute the music, labeling it as unpleasant and distracting. Overall, the music contributes to a negative experience, with several reviewers deeming it a significant flaw in an otherwise poorly executed game.

    • “The music is nice, though familiar, but the engine sounds like a beefed-up remote control car sometimes.”
    • “Nope, do not recommend this game. It is utter trash. Good idea, badly done. It's more like an early alpha than a full game. There are no control settings in-game, I cannot turn off the music, and it is ear-rape, nasty trash music. Not able to pan the camera around, just point and drive. No mud deforming, etc. Played 3 minutes and was like 'pfft' to this.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report that the game's optimization has improved significantly, with many experiencing smooth performance despite acknowledging that further enhancements are still needed.

    The monetization strategy has received negative feedback, with users expressing dissatisfaction over misleading advertising and poor design, leading to frustration regarding refunds.

    • “I honestly don't like it; refunding is not the way they make it look in the ads. Very bad design for the game.”
    • “The monetization system feels exploitative and makes it hard to enjoy the game without spending money.”
    • “I feel like I'm being pushed to spend money at every turn, which ruins the overall experience.”
