I want to love this game, I really do. The soundtrack is incredible, the graphics are smooth and fun, the car designs and sounds are great, but the physics just makes no sense to me. The car has like 100% grip, until it doesn't, and then just slides wildly out of control. Throttle control in slides is almost nonexistent. If you are on the gas in a corner without grip, you slide straight sideways off the road. Coming out of corners or when regaining control after a slide, the car pendulums back and forth without staying straight. Your car reacts wildly to camber and elevation changes on the road, but most of the time you can't even see those changes because of the graphics and camera angles. Its like halfway between an arcade game and a realistic driving sim and just never feels right. It is fun for a while but eventually the frustration of your car never doing what you want it too kinda ruins it. Group B was especially hard to manage which unfortunately are the cars you most look forward too.

This game somehow causes terrible screen burn-in. I paused the game for just over 20 minutes to eat dinner and returned to a ruined monitor, permanently showing the pause screen. This has never happened with any other game, even after leaving them paused for hours.

Great game, love it, but I feel like the solo player has a tough time if they don't know how to play solo. Feels like it is designed for groups, but in a game like this I honnestly don't see how it could be tailored to a solo player.
