Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Yes, you run into a jerk every once in a while, but it shocks me how easily you can motivate an entire lobby to be nice, not crash into one another, have a sincere, down to earth, grind for xp and casual racing experience altogether.

Very fun, only thing i don't like is that not many people play it but that's not the developers fault.(edit) patch made visuals wayyyy better and interface so even more fun also around 40 players every time i play
