Ok (Please read the full review, it's as honest as I can make it. but if you would rather have the TL:DR version, scroll to the final paragraph, if that is still too long, read the very final sentence at the bottom).
I've owned this game for a fairly long while now. Initially, although limited, it was fun to mess about with the then current build in sandbox mode. It had a few cars, a respectable amount of customisation, but that was it. No progression, no story, it was purely a test platform. Which made me ask myself, why is something this far from completion on Steam? Why was it (at the time if I remember correctly) almost if not over \u00a320?
Alas. I had a gut feeling this game would get somewhere. Eventually. To date, updates have been very far apart and random: Sometimes adding content, sometimes removing content. In fact, in its current state, the game has LESS content than when I first started playing it. There have been massive improvements to graphics and physics, but at the cost of content. I only really jump on every once in a while when a rare news bulletin or update pops up for this game. Even after the promised regular updates (of which, only the first happened, then went silent).
Now, I understand the developer has had a lot of financial difficulty (or so he claims, but I'm choosing to believe them), which makes game development hard. I get that, but recently, the developer has also told us they have a small team working on the game. Now, if this was the case, how come we are not seeing any real progress toward the completion of the game? which apparently, is the end of 2019! I really don't want to doubt it, but in some ways, after all this time maybe it's better just to perfect the game and release it later, rather than rushing it to release. Again, I understand the developer has been open with the community about their problems, which is admirable. However, launching a game on steam for people to spend their hard-earned money on (especially if you bought it before the recent price drop) which is:
A) Does not currently include any of the content in the pictures on the store page (Yet)
B) Is very unfinished (only 1 car with around 50% of the customisation options implemented and a tiny map to test it on)
C) May not even get to full release if you look back at the track record so far.
HOWEVER. I really really want this game to exceed all expectations, rise from where it is now and to be a shining example to car games, especially car games with modification options. I mean, what other games exist that allow you to choose your brake, gearbox and windshield fluid? :) Which leads me on to my (VERY HARD) decision on whether or not I could recommend this game. This review is based on the current build at time of writing (13\/3\/19), and I am going to have to say no, as despite the potential this game has, it simply doesn't deliver at its current state. I am more than happy to change my review when I feel the game is at a point it is worth buying, but until then, I'm just going to be honest with how the game is vs the expectations surrounding it. I do have some faith in the developer, we've all been had tough times, but I think it was a ballsy move to launch this game into early access in a state that I would not even class as an Alpha build.
You got this CloudWeight Studios, prove the haters and doubters wrong.. Bought this game in late 2017. Played it for 20 minutes and gave up trying to fix it to make it remotely playable. Game was stupidly broken and shouldn't even have been available to purchase, the fact that this developer was charging people money for that\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665was disgusting.
However, the game looked intriguing, so I uninstalled it and decided to check it out later.
It's now mid-March 2019... And the game has not improved in any way whatsoever. I just reinstalled it to try it out, excitedly, and I was immensely disappointed by how the game performs. Nothing has changed. The game is unplayable - in fact, I wouldn't even call it a 'game'. It is an underdeveloped series of infuriating screen overlap bugs and poorly designed menus. That's it.
I managed to struggle my way through the menus and got into a car. I plugged in my xbox controller and... nothing. The wheels turned left to right, but nothing else was happening. I went into the controller settings and realised I had to start the car - fair enough. I pressed the mapped button... Nothing. I went back into settings, and tried to remap the button - and I couldn't. The game thinks that every single input is already being used and therefore doesn't allow you to change any controls at all. I spent an hour online trying to find a fix for this, and all I found were forums and discussion threads about how this has been an issue for 4 months now and that the game is dead.
TL;DR Don't buy this heap. It shouldn't even be on Steam, let alone in exchange for MONEY. It's more broken now than when I bought it a year and a half ago, has LESS content than it did back then, and is broken and unplayable - and that is not an over-exaggeration. The controls literally don't work.. This game looks great and I want to play but.... When I go to purchase a car it says it's locked? I clicked on the 86 which is first in list and it wouldn't let me buy it what's up with that? This game looks great and the fact that it's been worked on for such a long time by so few people proves your dedication so props to you for that. I'm really disappointed that I can't even buy a car. I know it's in early access and all but I'm upset because I seem to be the only person who has had this issue. I would really appreciate an update on this by the devs or if anyone knows if I'm doing something wrong? Do I have to verify my account? Another question - the achievement page mentions a 280zx but you can't get one so far as I have seen does it unlock over the course of the career or is it not added yet?
