Great game with genuinely awful ideas. Battle passes, uninteresting gamemodes and... Locking vehicles behind limited time events? Seriously? Not just that, but the music is bad, the customization is pretty bad in general and this game has no essence, compared to older ones. Spinning the wheels is kind of a crutch in every sense. It makes me not want to "grind" at all. Not that you should grind mindlessly for hours, but I expect some sort of mission, unless this is a full on Sandbox game, which it feels like one. If it is a sandbox game though, why LOCK VEHICLES BEHIND LIMITED TIME EVENTS?

It's a great game that looks good, but man. It ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ blows in other regards. I'd rather play NFS: Unbound for more fun, even it isn't as realistic.

edit 28hr later, 6/14/25: i tried Assetto Corsa. This game doesn't even compare. The only edge is the ease of inviting friends and such, but Assetto is better in every way shape or form. I'd still rather play NFS, this is an uncomfortable middle-ground between the two so I'll stick with either of those two. I still hold the same sentiment about hte damn limited time event cars.
