So this was on Gamepass, and it's something I've been interested in for a while. I hate racing games, but this seemed kinda interesting cause it was more about wrecking other cars, supposedly. Having played a bit of it now, I can safely say it's one of the most mediocre, underbaked titles I've played in a while. It's just so....blah. …

A shame, cause I really wanted to like it :/

I had a lot of fun with this game but I'll be upfront and say the progression system is borked. You seem to be locked into certain races and you can't sell inventory (or it isn't displayed properly) so you can earn other cars. I don't have the patience to be honest to get back into it - hopefully the …

You seem to be locked into certain races and you can't sell inventory (or it isn't displayed properly) so you can earn other cars. I don't have the patience to be honest to get back into it - hopefully the sequel fixes this because when its fun, good god its fun :)

As good an example of an unjust casualty of early access as can be mentioned. Got this around three years ago from their website so I could play around in the Next Gen Car Game open-environment obstacle course. It was in limbo for the longest time following an engine change that largely stripped it of its USP in the destruction and much of the original fidelity. It's taken forever and a day to crawl back.
Now? With the full release? Actually really good. The multiplayer is pure anarchic fun wherein avoiding being totalled by the guy who chose the bus is as important as your position. The graphical fidelity is better than before, as is the destruction. For someone like me for whom racing will never be a favourite genre, the unparalleled destruction engine here gives it enough of an edge that it's become a go-to game to actually enjoy and unwind on.
Early access, given the length of time it existed as such, has completely sapped it's sails of wind, though. I wonder if, as a result, it will always exist fairly underground. It could be wrongful attribution, but I think there's too much mass-appeal here, even in this open-world-leaning time. Could be wrong.
