The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the decent quality and retro aesthetic, while others criticize them as outdated and uninspired. Many users note that the game runs well on low-end PCs, making it accessible, but performance issues and repetitive visuals detract from the overall experience.

- “It has great graphics and you don't need that good of a laptop/PC to run this game.”
- “This game is amazing in both the physics and graphics!”
- “The graphics are awesome, the physics of the cars are great, and the tracks are sweet.”
- “Controls are garbage and graphics are shite.”
- “Worst game I've ever played; the graphics are wank and the frame rate is as stable as Hillary Clinton.”
- “A technically limited game (yes, I know it's basically a beta), with graphical pop-in that I haven't seen in a game in 10 years, even at the highest graphical settings and boring gameplay, even for a sim.”

The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it enjoyable and fun, particularly in multiplayer settings, while others criticize it for being dated, lacking depth, and plagued by technical issues. Many users noted that the driving mechanics are a blend of simulation and arcade styles, but the overall experience is marred by bugs, poor graphics, and a dwindling player base, leading to a lack of replayability. Despite some positive aspects, such as customization options, the game struggles to maintain player interest and support.
- “Great gameplay.”
- “Good gameplay and a lot of fun competing with friends.”
- “What this game does well is customization and gameplay.”
- “The gameplay alone isn't that great and it didn't stop me from uninstalling it after this short time.”
- “A technically limited game (yes, I know it's basically a beta), with graphical pop-in that I haven't seen in a game in 10 years, even at the highest graphical settings, and boring gameplay, even for a sim.”
- “Worst of all, the driving mechanics are pitiful and arcade-like.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its graphics and performance while others criticize significant performance issues, particularly during races with full rosters that lead to frame rate drops. Despite the engaging car customization and tuning mechanics, many users report that the game's optimization is poor, resulting in lower-than-expected frame rates even on capable hardware. While improvements are anticipated in future updates, the current state leaves much to be desired.
- “I am really amazed by the performance of such a simple yet interesting concept.”
- “- It has a simple, but great car creation concept, where there are performance index points. You can customize the look in any way, from mufflers to mudguards, rims, wheels, and three sections of the car that you can interchange for the ultimate combination.”
- “- After building the car, you get to tune it in any way you want, with power, braking, grip, traction, downforce, and aerodynamics. You use performance points in these categories for the greatest tuning concept ever in a free game.”
- “The idea of the game is great, the story is great, the graphic quality is medium, but the optimization is horrible. My graphic card runs games with 10x more heavy graphics than this game at 180 frames per second, yet in this game, the FPS doesn't exceed 60.”
- “Bad unrealistic optimization.”
- “We know that graphic optimization and new shaders are coming very soon, but at the moment, on many computers, a race with a full roster will cause the FPS to drop.”

The game's story is considered intriguing and has high potential, with a backstory that adds depth to the racing experience. However, many players feel that the lack of a dedicated story mode and limited content detracts from the overall experience, as the game is still unfinished and features only a few tracks with random elements. While some appreciate the narrative details, others criticize the graphics and find the story lacking coherence.
- “The story behind it is also quite interesting.”
- “I really like this little story detail because it increases awareness.”
- “All in all, Age of Racing is a story of high potential with all the resources already there.”
- “Sadly, since the game isn't really completely finished, there isn't much content—just a few tracks that have weird random stuff around them (because of the story, tracks are placed in the middle of a scrapyard, desert, mountains, etc.).”
- “You start up the game, you get a short backstory, everything seems simple, and then... you get tens of millions of buttons to figure out how and why they work!”
- “Old graphics and a stupid story.”

The monetization model of the game has evolved from a free-to-play system with challenging in-game currency acquisition and microtransactions to a buy-to-play format, eliminating microtransactions entirely. While some players appreciate the removal of in-app purchases, others express frustration over the initial difficulty in earning currency and the reliance on purchases for progression. Overall, the shift to a buy-to-play model aims to enhance user experience by removing annoying microtransactions.
- “This is now a buy-to-play; so you will need to buy the game if you want to play (it's not going free to play after the beta) but there are no more microtransactions in the game.”
- “Regarding people's concerns towards in-app purchases.”
- “However, the devs can suck a fat cock, and the in-game currency is extremely hard to earn. Really, the only way to acquire more is through in-game purchases.”
- “This game is an example of a question a lot of game devs have: do we make the game cost money, or do we make it have exceedingly annoying microtransactions?”
- “- now it's free-to-play with microtransactions.”
