incredible game, highly addicting, i bought this expecting to play it for 30 mins or so and then never touching it again, but now I don't want to play anything else anymore.

So let me start this off by saying to me this is the most value for money you can get in a racing sim at the moment.

The free content is practically nonexistent (3 tracks and a handful of not so interesting cars).
BUT if you're into simracing and are ready to spend money on it then this has a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of good cars and tracks for very decent prices. Of course many people are put off by the expensive content on the steam page of the game and so was I but buying the content in bundles in the ingame store with the games currency is a lot cheaper and very worth it. I'm not sure how the prices vary by regions but with around 30€ you can get a good amount of cars and tracks that can keep you occupied for a long time.

Now let me get to gameplay.
First off I'm using a Logitech G920 and the Fanatec Clubsport V3 Pedals.
The driving feels natural and intuitive, the force feedback lets you know exactly what your car is doing and makes it very easy to correct mistakes (perhaps quite a bit easier than it would be IRL, hard to judge without ever having driven a real racecar)
The AI is superb, they react very naturally. Sometimes they leave you space to overtake, sometimes they know they can fight for their place in the grid and do so very well, you never feel like you're the only human trying to make his way through a huge pack of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bots.

The graphics are not great.
The textures in general and the car models look decent but the lighting and shadows leaves a lot to be desired but as it stands right now simracing doesn't have any games that offer good graphics really and I think most people who are into it don't seem to care a whole lot. I think it looks a lot better than iRacing and Assetto Corsa but it's not a huge factor, you're mainly just looking at the cars and the track anyways. If you care about great graphics (by 2018 standards) you're not gonna find them here.

The game doesn't do a good job to introduce you to everything it has to offer but as I see it there's quite some competitions going on, I can't really comment on those because I haven't tried them.

The public server online gameplay is kinda hit or miss but there's some great racing to be found if you're willing to look for it (SRS).

Overall this is my favorite sim for now purely by how it feels but I have not yet tried rFactor 2 or AMS.

If you're already into simracing and willing to shell out a little bit of money for a great time then this is for you.
If you're looking for a free to play racing game to play casually I don't think this is the right game for you.

Edit 21/12/2018:
I just got myself a Oculus Rift and played this game in VR for some hours and I can honestly say it's the best experience you can possibly get out of this game, if you have a VR Headset and a decent wheel you absolutely need to try it!

I am just getting into simracing myself and I am pretty bad at it but I'm having loads of fun with this.

This is probably the best Simracing game to get if you just got a wheel and wanna get good with it.
I'm not sure if this is playable with a controller, but even if it is you're probably better off not doing that.

So here's a few things you get with this game:

- great optimization and performance, could probably run on a potato
- amazing physics, feels great with my "entry level" Logitech G920
- decent looking graphics but nothing to write home about
- good wheel configuration and lots of ways to change your pedal and steering settings.
- MODS! User made tracks, cars, interface options and all kinds of magic.
- car and track selection in the base game is not huge, but enough to get you started, you'll probably want to buy some dlc later down the line.
- easy to get into in the slower car classes but very hard to master in any regard
- lots and lots of customization for your races and cars
- a ton of settings and options to change although the menu is not always intuitively designed

For anyone who has a decent steering wheel and is looking for a game to make the most of it this is the way to go.

Now excuse me while I go crash into this tyre wall on turn 1.

Early Access Review
As many others said: friends are not included, might want to look into making a bundle that comes with 4 friends or something.

One of the best games I've ever played.

This game manages to create an absolutely astonishing atmosphere, it sucks you in, rips your heart out and puts it back in over and over and over again, seriously.

It's simply an amazing experience that I haven't had with any other game.

11/10 would rewind time and play again.

A massive ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ timesink, definitely fun when playing with friends, I'm not too big on this kind of game tho so I can't say how it compares to others in the category.

Story wise this might be the best game I will ever play and it definitely the best I've played so far. It doesnt have much gameplay to it but the story makes it all worth it in the end, it's so good.
