Driving is great, progressing with cars is fun. Lots to love about the game, just like the old ones. Early game is tedious but gets so much better pretty quickly.
However...
- Replays are force played after every single race. Sure some people want to watch them, let it be an option after the race...
- "Rewards" are just micro transaction gambling. They take so so long to spin, that after 5 of them I haven't bothered receiving more. I'm here to race, not watch a pathetic gambling machine.
- The "cafe" idea is okay, but having to go there so often takes away from the racing. If it was an optional visit, for when you just wanted to relax and learn, fantastic. But forcing to go through the clunky menu over and over to get there to skip over the interruption is super frustrating.
- No ability to see even a basic forecast. So you blitz through a race,only for it to rain on the last lap, and suddenly the car only spins it's wheels. To lose at the very end. Super tedious especially in early game before you have tyre options
- Photo mode. Mostly optional, thankyou. But still forcing you to go through it is annoying enough.
Overall it is a good game, just some major frustrations along the way.
