I honestly don’t think this would be overly complex to implement, and it would add a huge amount of variety to the gameplay.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I have always absolutely loved single player career type gameplay and it was always enjoyable for me even before this current version of the game but, the current campaign is some of the most fun I have ever had playing a game. i can sink literal days into fleshing out a company and designing cars.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Something about the grind to understand the game and be on the right side of the crazy learning curve is so satisfying.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I have the graphics maxed out on my current hardware, ray tracing off, and dlaa on, and I am getting a stable 165 fps.
