All the signs point towards this being a shovelware Unity game, but it really isn't - it has just 3 cars, 3 courses, and a time trial mode, and it looks like an upscaled PSP game (by design), but it manages to be really fun.

The driving model is smooth and satisfying, drift-on-rails much like the older Ridge Racers. Rainy environments are really atmospheric and throwing a van around the city is a lot of fun.

For this price, definitely a good pick.

I had the chance to try the game several days before the Early Access launch, and after a ton of testing, I'm more than satisfied. Gameplay-wise the game already provides a good TXR experience and it will likely only get better as Early Access progresses, but most importantly to me, the game runs like a dream - since it's an Unreal Engine 5 game, I expected to have to run it on Low details on my GTX 1070, instead it runs great on High (except for Global Illumination). Performance-wise it's one of the more impressive UE5 games I have seen.

I played a few older TXR games prior to this and it feels just like the old games, but in a modern coating - which I think is a great thing. A classic singleplayer-only, always-offline, streamlined experience.
