As a big racing game fan constantly waiting for the next thing this held me over for a little while. After about 60 hours I've completed all playlist as well as 75% of the challenge/open world content. The game looks fantastic, but the 60fps lock is outright stupid for a game released in 2024. The thing that really drew me to the game was the car customization, which for a car lover was incredible. As for the actual racing mechanics I found them incredibly satisfying once I passed the initial learning curve, and I found myself having tons of fun going for top ~3k runs simply because I knew I could do better, which is a great feeling. It's not perfect, but its a good answer to the Forza horizon series, I think it deserves a sequel eventually. I understand mixed reviews, but I picked this up for $34 along with one of my friends and after playing about 1/2 of the mentioned hours with him, I really enjoyed it. 6.5/10
