Coming from AC and ACC, you can really see how they've tried to take the best of both worlds and make them into one game. As a note, I'm playing on a full sim rig in VR


The Good:
The driving feel, force feedback, and user interface when in a race feels like it's taken directly out of ACC
Intuitive menus make it easy to pick up and get right into a race
VR in-car works
Automatic recognition of specific peripherals, allows programming presets across multiple devices

The bad:
VR in the main menu needs work. Lots of tearing and messed up shaders
Crashes on race startup (I noticed it the most when it's either a large track or 9 other AI cars)
Rear view/side view mirrors on certain cars sometimes don't work
First time programming of control settings is completely from scratch (no presets), so it must be programmed not in VR and on a mouse and keyboard. Took a minute for me to figure out you could/had to program across inputs if you have mix and matched sim gear.
Hard to figure out the "classes" or performance of comparable cars - they give you a number without telling you what it is.

Other things of note:
It seems the goal is that car unlocks are tied online to your account...wonder how this will effect the modding community.

One thing folks have to remember, you're playing version 0.1 of the game! It's nowhere close to fully baked out of stable but for essentially an alpha version when it works it works great.

A very casual game with simple mechanics. Entertaining

Coming from the physical card game, MTG arena does a great job at translating everything over and allowing you to play how you want. The downsides of jumping in late are that Arena rewards you for picking up the latest packs (golden pack), but does not make it easy to get legacy cards through leveling rewards unless you either a) purchase the packs through the store, or b) purchase the mastery pass.

Outside of that it's a great relaxing experience, and way easier than the physical game because it does all the rules for you!

EDIT: One other con to the game, Friend Challenges seem to be very buggy, with a very low success rate for actually connecting to a match. Can be very frustrating at times.

Great game! I only cried thrice

When it comes to the actual gameplay part of it, campaign or multiplayer, it's a solid experience. Definitely a game that's more fun with friends. New DMZ gamemode needs a bit of reworking but is overall a cool experience. Menu UI is abysmal, but I hear they're going to do a full redesign of it

If you like a bare-bones, skill-based tactical game that you can play alone or with friends then this is the game for you. Community can be toxic at times, but that can always be mitigated by queuing with people you know. The maps are the same, but every match plays differently.

An excellent pick up and play open world racer that lets you play the game how you want. The world has all the best elements of driving roads both on and off road and many events to do. Visuals are stunning and game performance is strong Online is still a little buggy but single player was released pretty much perfect from the start

A sandbox game that will always give you something to do. Never a dull moment

One of those games that works your brain, makes you lose track of time, realize its 3am, and then regret nothing.
