Constant FPS drops on 2016 high-end machine in a 2006 game will not be tolerated!

gg will cap to 30fps again.

Feels like a bad console port with poor controls and good graphics.

My childhood is back! Please add Steam Cloud support!

It's very hard to control the car even not in any corner. I will not recommend this game unless you seeking for the real life experience AND have appropriate equipment such as a steering wheel.

Unlike Need for Speed, Grid Autosport is not locked on 60hz 30fps/60fps. This is THE racing game to utilize the full potential of a 120hz/144hz monitor. It looks amazing. The game easily achieves average of 40fps on Intel HD Graphics 3000 on 1366x768 with the lowest possible graphical settings (and looks very decently!), and 110fps on gtx980ti on 1920x1080 with the highest possible graphical settings. So it should be really easy to achieve 120fps on gtx750 and above, with the right graphical settings.

As for the game itself, it's very fun. I've played Need for Speed franchise a lot, and it's a refreshing experience to play something else. GRID Autosport is harder than Need for Speed, don't expect to finish in the 1st place if you are a beginner in this game, it takes some time to master the mechanics. BUT the good news is that you have the "FLASHBACK" feature, means you can rewind a couple of seconds while in single-player race to fix your mistakes, and belive me this saves A LOT of time that else would be spent for restarting the whole race again and again. This doesn't mean that you will not restart races, you will restart a lot especially as a beginner, but significantly less than you were restarting in Need for Speed.
There is only one thing that I hate about the single player - as a part of an event you will have to race the same map again and again. I hate this repetitivity.

Online multiplayer is even harder than the Single Player. One mistake is enough to immediately move to the last place. You want to play a lot of single player before you win in the first places of the multiplayer. I don't feel too excited about the multiplayer, it feels almost the same as the single player, but much harder.
The "FLASHBACK" feature is not working in multiplayer, instead it working as a "RESET" feature in traditional racing games, what makes multiplayer even harder.
The User Interface of the multiplayer is frustrating. Firstable, you will be added to a room with an on-going race and you can't play or do anything except quitting or waiting to the end of the on-going race. Then you will have to wait a lot until next race will actually start. There is just a lot of unnecessary waiting and unnecessary screen to pass until the 3,2,1,go!.

This is Bejeweled / Candy Crush clone.
In the 4 first single player I won without do nothing. Then stopped playing. boring.

BEST GAME EVER. you will not regret buying it.
The only problem is that the game is very short.

The game is not optimized at the current state.
I own i7-3770 and GTX980Ti.
With "epic" and "high" presents, I could not maintain stable 60fps+.
Only with "normal" present i could maintain stable 60fps+ but the environment looked not as good as with "high" and "epic".
I find it disappointing that a highend rig cannot play this game with 60fps+ AND high quality. You can imagine how it will run on a GTX970.
I hope this game will be optimized in the future.

Epic removed items from my inventory. Even OEM-A V1 engine sound is gone. WTH?
Game moved to DX11, no MSAA in-game or workaround. This drives me crazy.

2021-08-11 Update: Epic introduced penalties for leaving a casual match. WTH? That was literally the only thing that separated a casual match from a competitive match.

Epic is literally destroying Rocket League step by step.
