Early Access Review
I like this game so I will start with the pros
It's a very good game if your into rock CRAWLING.
There a meny MAPS and each map has 3 stages and free rome, the maps are big enough to have fun on with out being overwhelming or boring.
Good selection of cars and a fair amount of mods to go with them.
All cars have 4 wheel drive and a lockable diff with hi and low range. (Cars can be used in automatic or manual transmission)
Game play is rewarding and satisfying, makes you think about your approach line and tire placement.
The game developer is always working on the game and listens to the community.

Now for the cons (I have been playing since day one so new players may have never encountered some of the points I raise)

The big con for me is after playing the hole game from scratch 3 times ( I got all achievements in 10 hours when the game 1st came out, then the 2and and 3rd time when the modifications update came in so I could unlock the mods.) I now am required to re complete the game from almost scratch again due to the most recent update. This is by no means the end of the world but after previously unlocking everything and getting stuff the way you want it's very annoying to have to do it all again.

The auto transmission is frustrating to use.
On the old auto trans in order to get reverse you held the brake in ( makes sense as it's a auto)
But now if in auto trans you need to manually select the reverse gear this can be a bit fiddly if on a steep hill or in a situation where you just need reverse to be there instantly. Also I feel it's very clunky and requires a lot of analog stick movement to get in to reverse. All in all I think a auto trans should just reverse when the car is stopped and the brake is held in.
The cars as is said cars have 4 wheel drive and diff lock I'm guessing it's a centre diff lock and there is no option to select front or rear diff lock.
No Winch options witch is a shame as I feel more technical stages could be made if the ability to Winch was added.
All cars share the same base chassis leading to some of the add on options not connecting to it, I.e. floating above it.

There is no proper way to adjust suspension yet although attempts have been made by the developer and I think in time it will be added but for now the suspension is good.

The game volume is not saving so every time I lunch the game I need to turn it down, again not a deal breaker and has no impact on game play it's just a bit annoying.

All in all for a early access game it's well worth a go.
Some people may of notest I havent mentioned the multi player and that would be because I havent played it so there for I cannot have a opinion on it.
