If you like to drive this is the game for you. It's very well-maintained by the developer to this day, pushing out free updates and new DLC regularly. And with it still being maintained in 2020, it does show how much the developers do care about the community around this game.

The game is great although it doesn't have the latest in graphics - but for me that's not a big issue. The game excels in the realistic gameplay, and does so pretty well. Add the modding community and -possibilities gives one hours of endless fun. When driving with keyboard and mouse, it does get boring after a while, even with the mods in my opinion, however when using a steering wheel it's good fun for many hours. If you're about to take your driving license, this might even be a good learning tool, especially if you have a racing wheel and H-shifter available.

Setting up my wheel (Thrustmaster's T500 RS) wasn't too difficult, however the different sliders are kind of hard to get just perfect. Setting up my H-shifter (the TH8 RS) was very easy though, just button mapping. The game supports TrackIR (also using FaceTrackNoIR) which is a very nice feature for those having the ability to use it, it makes it ten times easier to pan the camera compared to using the mouse.

I've seen multiple people have issues with the downloaded mods from the Steam Workshop, I've had issues too, as the mods do not (at least for me) auto-install. It takes a bit of unzipping, folder moving and file editing to get the mods to work properly, it could've been much easier, yes, but there is a how-to guide on the CCD forums and once you know how to, it's not such a big pain. I've had only one issue with the mod cars once installed, and that was the "ABS bug", where the ABS tick box was greyed out, this however is solvable by following instructions also available on the CCD forums, and it doesn't appear again once all cars are installed as per those instructions.

For the right person, this is a 10/10 game, but that will not be everybody. I recommend this game to those into simulation games, ETS2/ATS, OMSI and the like, who also has a racing wheel. If you do not have a racing wheel, I sadly doubt you'll find as much fun in this game.

Early Access Review
Apart from the physics being a bit weird uncomfortable and strange, I really like the graphics, enviroments and music even in this early stage of the game.

The story might be short, and doesn't take long to finish, but it's so well written that I enjoyed every single second of it. My only critical comment's exactly that the game is short, however the graphics are stunning, as is the sound design and voice acting. All in all, very close to a modern-day masterpiece of a [short] game, in my opinion.

Apart from some stuttering during the loading screen and on rare occasions, I'm really enjoying this game. The story, visuals, sounds, music and voice acting is very good and fits the game perfectly.

Strongly recommended.

Very good game indeed, but the camera controls (being the mouse) ruins the experience all together, at least for me.
