As of writing this review, July 7, 2019, I don't recommend buying this game. This is a game that was in early access for a fair amount of time and has been released and deemed to be worthy of a "1.0" version number. This is no longer an early access title but core features like your stats or your saves have been essentially stripped from the game.

The single player menu features a spot for your personal best lap time for the selected track. This spot remains unpopulated and has since pretty early on in the EA phase. At one point it did work, it no longer does. Knowing your PBs seems like an extremely basic feature for a racing game, "simulator" focus or not. This is only the start of the lack of proper stats. The stats have been gutted for "stability" because this early access title is still having major stability issues post-1.0.

The title also lacks proper VR support and triple screen support, two very important features to a not insignificant amount of sim racers and gamers in general.

We can get onto the topic of the missing animated pit crew that was also a big point used the advertising for the game. Or the missing or less functional matchmaking support they went with but its been beat to death on reddit and their forums.

This game is in a poor state and is most definitely STILL IN EARLY ACCESS, regardless of what the steam store says. Core features are missing. There are stability issues that this game experiences that has caused the removal of core features like stats, saves, and the pitcrew. This is from the words of Lord Kunos himself on the AC forums.

At this point I've put roughly 40 hours into the DayZ standalone after putting hundreds out hours into the mod. I'm very pleased with what the standalone has to offer even in the early access state that it is in.

Even with the limited amount of content the standalone offers it is still DayZ and it definitely feels like it. Teamwork is almost essential to long-term survival and the zombies while still limited pose a threat if you get a few of them on your tail.

One of the new features that I find make the game a lot better is that by default your "F" key is bound to the default action. This makes the game play a lot smoother in my opinion. The new inventory system in combination with the clothing is a great improvement over the mod as well. It seems that inventory space is more valuable now and you really need to consider what you pick up and what you leave behind. I enjoy the game greatly but I knew exactly what to expect when purchasing it as an early access game.

As the warnings state though, don't buy the game if you don't want to deal with the "perks" of purchasing an early access title!
