I really want to enjoy this game. I love the aesthetics, but they betray the sim-like nature of this game. All of the camera angles seem wrong for what you're trying to do, which is drive a winding rally stage without any pace notes. The lack of pace notes could be forgiven if there were a mini-map, but this other racing game staple is also missing.

camera and controls are pretty bad

Controls are not great

A subpar rally game with chunky controls. Cars are horrible to control and once you play once you've played it all.

This game could be cool, however the design of vehicle controller makes it artificially difficult. At low speeds the feel is okay. However at higher speeds even just a single mm input on an xbox controller's thumb stick for 1/20 of a second can take you from one side of the track to the other. This is annoying as the ability to chose a position in the lane shouldn't be reliant on ultra micro adjustments on a course input control. It forces you to make long corners by using very small taps on the analog stick, rather then holding the direction of the curve the way a real driver would. If a real cars' steering was this touchy at high speed racing would not even be a thing.

This could be improved by adding a setting to the players input. Allow input resolution to decrease with velocity. Allow the player to adjust that curve to their liking. Make it a toggle for players who want it. So those who have become used to, and enjoy the current control style don't need to relearn the game. That would be a huge improvement imo.

мусор с кривым управлением

Another game with a great aesthetic but ruined by awful controls. Just like Absolute Drift and Circuit Superstars. They look like the kind of games I would like but they feel terrible to play.

UPDATE: If I could, I would not recommend this game twice. Game physics kills the joy
Stylish, but steering in the game is so demanding. A car has 2 modes - piece of ♥♥♥♥ and railroad. It simply does not respond in time. Throttle control is awful. Instead of increasing angle of attack more throttle means acceleration sideways. No grip at all. Nice concept though, but very far from CMR. Co-pilot is still needed although the camera offers you more relaxing and self-relying way of driving, often you don't see where you go. Considering all things said relaxing and peaceful concept of the game was destroyed by physics and absence of arcade / sim gaming. Could've been far better.
