59% of themes are praise33% are divided8% are complaints
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Expanded environments, additional road configurations, improved scenery, more detailed graphics, traffic options, achievements, vehicle customization, refined physics, combustion engines, manual transmissions, controller improvements, profiles, and numerous configurable settings give it greater depth.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Developed and published by Topograph Interactive, it is deliberately designed as a relaxing driving sandbox where exploration and atmosphere matter considerably more than competition.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its relatively lightweight concept and ability to accommodate short sessions nevertheless make the Steam Deck an attractive way to experience an endless drive whenever a relaxed game is preferable to something more demanding.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Native linux version works well out of the box, using the high preset at 800p, I locked the game at 60 fps and got about 4-5 hours of battery.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's got a ton of visual elements that suit whatever mood I'm in and feels way more optimized and fluid than the web version.
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's almost like the car equivalent of linux (side note: perfectly playable on linux), complete control of what I want to do, not what the devs and higher ups think is good for me.
