🔥 HOT: App//reviews - Full Archive

Had the game in my account for years, just got a Thrustmaster T128x and booted the game up. 40 hours and just started to continue the main story.

This game is honestly incredible. Ive been waiting for a good racing game for a long long time.
So satisfying drifting a Viper with a FFB Wheel.

Gamplay loop of winning races gets money and exp during day and then night time is a multiplier system with the cops chasing after you, risk it all and either lose all that extra bonus or level up 3 times in a row.

Car customization is well done, and can make different builds based on how you want the car to perform.

Story aint anything to write home about, some parts can be cringe like the first few cutscenes, but ngl the characters are kinda growing on me, even if they are still cringe. Lucas in the garage made me laugh and thats when i realized "oh no im starting to like these dumb asses".

Just note that i had to download the Logitech G Hub for my Thrustmaster T128x Wheel to work with the game. Idk why thats what a google search told me and it worked.
game works fine with a controller and other wheels from what i read.

Game is incredibly fun and highly recommend it if ya like racing games.

Genuinely a fun game. The story is cheesy but it does enough to keep you going and you will care at least a little by the end of it. The day and night loop is where it actually gets good. Grind cash during the day, build rep at night, and the longer you push your luck after dark the worse the cops get. Simple but it works and before you know it you have been playing for two hours without realizing it.
Car handling is solid for what it is. This is not a sim, it plays like an arcade racer and it feels like one, and that is completely fine. Tuning goes deep if you want to get into it but you can also ignore most of it and still have a great time which is exactly how it should be.
The post launch stuff is where it gets sad. Ghost Games got shut down right after release, Criterion took over, and the only DLC that ever came out was a paid collectible revealer for the map and one car. That was it and then they moved on. You can kind of feel where another year of support would have taken this game and it is a little rough knowing it never got there.
Skip the DLCs by the way. Keys to the map is literally paying money for them to show you where stuff is on the map, which should have just been in the game for free. The McLaren is not worth it either, the RSR already does everything better.
Grabbed the deluxe edition on sale back in 2021, skipped the DLCs, and got way more than my money's worth out of it. Came back recently and it still holds up fine. Buy it on sale and you will have a good time.

honestly its kinda of a "fun game" if you some how can ignore the outrageous rubberbanding and stupidly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cop chaces, also the gameplay is so bland and the story is so irrelevant and forgetable that you are missing literally nothing by just not playing it
