I've been playing racing games 98% of my life. I've gone from Need for Speeds entire franchise, the Forza Motorsport and Horizons, and more. I can say whole heartedly this game is great. From the scenery standpoint (on a 4K TV and series S in my case) it's phenomenal. The weight ratios and speed and such feel far more realistic than Forza for example. The car sounds alone and top tier and diverse unlike everything in Forza sounding the same with minimal variance. The selection of vehicles can be better but will grow over time (writing this as of 7/28/2024). The cinematics for each of the categories are great as well. I wish the locations weather was a bit more diverse like TC2 was with the dynamic USA but given it's Hawaii I can't complain. Overall as someone who's been burnt out on racing games for awhile I can say this game rejuvenated my passion for it. I'm excited to see where this game goes over the years.
Good Job Ubisoft.
