Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I definitely recommend it, the game is fun if you play alone and its fun if you play with friends, it is just like previous titles but with some better mechanics and more content.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
To start with some positives, the graphics are nice—clean, colorful, and well-optimized—but nothing groundbreaking for a modern title.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is well optimized and performs smoothly without needing the latest hardware.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Even on higher difficulty levels, it’s often enough to overtake everyone early and then just stay on the road (the racing line helps a lot with that).
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Coming from Forza Motorsport, I can feel the difference when using a controller.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you've got friends to play with instead of randoms, the online component gets better as well.
