I genuinely adore this game. I'm not a huge fan of racers, but there's just something about Bugbear's games that make me love them. The damage you can cause and take, how your cars get beat up as the race progresses and just how gorgeous the games they make are. As it stands the only thing I can count against it is that the multiplayer lobby is skeletal at best in features and that it could do with a bit more optimization, but that's it. The game feels good, racing is fun, derbies are violent and funny, and multiplayer really is where the game truly shines at the moment.

Do remember that this is an early access review though, and the game is missing a lot of features still (like the entire singleplayer campaign), so take that with a grain of salt. :)
