Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I honestly can’t think of a game that uses these kind of mechanics so that’s absolutely a good sign.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack really completed the game for me, as what fun is a racing game without a stellar soundtrack to accompany it?
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is a servicable "story mode" that is a good tutorial to wrap your head around the game's basic mechanics, but it's only halfway done.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphically Distance is pretty impressive with dark lighting and a dark atmosphere in general, only brightened by colorful neon colors that appear on the tracks and specific objects (now I think about it; it’s shown on pretty much anything that can kill you).
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The implemented gamemodes work, offline and online Multiplayer works, leaderboards and steam workshop work too :3
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty curve feels a bit more natural than the (short) campaign's as well.
