I feel very mixed about this game. I was very hype for the release, I saw the trailer on YouTube a week+ish ago and I've always been looking for a realistic feel driving simulator that isn't over the top in any way. This seemed like the perfect game for me and I wish-listed it and waited to give it a try, however upon pre-launch & first launching the game, I was quickly disappointed.

Virtually Unplayable;
I have a decent computer setup, 3060 12GB Card, 32GB Ram, i7-11700F & more than enough SSD space, I meet all the recommended requirements and I truly don't believe that this game should be running, on epic, at 9 FPS. Yes, 9 FPS. The worst part? I turned my settings to low to even attempt to learn the tutorial & my FPS couldn't pass 30. I understand the level of detail in a game like that, but this game took a while to develop, and they even post-poned the launch another 12 hours to fix a 'major bug', but couldn't be bothered to actually test the performance.
Update;
I relaunched the game, full screen, VSYNC off , EPIC settings, and I got 30-40 in the menu/map, started out at 30 FPS and then once I began driving, I dipped right down to 18, then eventually down to 10.

Thoughts;
Overall, I am very let down by the release and roll-out of this game. The roll-out was something else, they released the supported edition to purchase first, before releasing the normal edition which seemed kind of odd since you weren't able to download/play the supporter edition regardless since the main game wasn't release, however they said it was a Steam issue, so I'll leave that out of this review. This game needs to be quality tested a bunch by the Developer team, like seriously. A variety of tests running on a Variety of machines should give them some idea of what ballpark of a machine people need to run this. I will not be refunding now, but if a patch doesn't release soon, or if they show a disconnect from this product, I will be refunding. I will also return to this review post-patch (hopefully) and update on how I feel.

TL;Dr
Game is very non-optimized and the performance is poor. This game needs to be patched asap or it will lose playerbase.
