Definitely worth buying/playing if you like racing games (IMO).
Pros:
+ Really good balance of driving mechanics combining arcade and sim-like properties which will appeal to a wide audience
+ Over 700 cars from a variety of manufacturers over different time periods. Each feels different to drive.
+ Many different game modes to enjoy, from road racing to cross country to team games to eliminator, each one is fun.
+ Nice big, beautiful open world map.
+ Seasonal changes implemented beautifully, each feels different to drive.
Cons:
- Overall the game feels like it is made for XBOX, and not PC. The menus and UI are clunky from a PC perspective.
- Servers seem to be potato (Or me having high ping from South India), causing disconnection issues, multiple long loading screens to join a friend's convoy and race together, Sometimes causes loading screens of over 5 minutes (The single player is mostly smooth and runs without issues)
- Balancing of cars seem to be a bit off as there are definitely some OP cars in multiplayer racing and overall AWD seems to be overused in all kinds of races.

not bad
edit: not bad at all, except for the hackers and smurfs.

Definitely one of the best titles this year, especially coming from Supergiant games who are known to put a lot of love into their work.
The game itself is a roguelike adventure, with a pretty simple plot and many likeable characters who get deeper as you interact with them.
Gameplay is as to be expected from a roguelike with crisp lots of unique enemies, and levels designed so that you are also aware of your positioning whilst trying to kill multiple enemies. The many different passives/boons make sure that each playthrough is different experience and players are rewarded for trying different weapons by the bonus rewards.
After a single playthrough, you unlock further modifiers to the levels/enemies which will keep gameplay interesting.
As for difficulty, I feel like it hits the sweet spot where it isn't too easy or near impossible making each completion feel extremely satisfying, apart from the unique dialog upon each completion/ playthrough.
I'm over 20 hours in already and I feel like this is well worth the money I spent buying this game.
