After over 12 years of wait, it pains me to say that Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown falls short of expectations. The game feels underdeveloped and lacking in essential features that define a true TDU experience. The fun little things like buying properties and engaging in non-racing activities (like casino and other driving missions) is completely missing, leaving us with a generic open-world racing game that lacks variety.

A significant issue is the mandatory 'Always online' requirement, which gave many players headaches during the launch period due to server issues, preventing them from starting or finishing races. While these server issues seem to have been resolved, the current low player count (less than 500 players at recent peak) means this problem may not resurface until the game gains more popularity and sees a higher number of concurrent players. This is compounded by the absence of cross-region play and cross-play with consoles, resulting in sparse online competition and highlighting the inadequacies of the AI. The AI opponents are either inexplicably overpowered, exhibiting traits like infinite grip and immunity to traffic, or they fall far behind, creating an inconsistent and frustrating experience.

Additionally, the inability to pause during AI-only races further detracts from the gameplay. The game's grindy nature, where cars are expensive and rewards feel unworthy of the effort, only adds to the disappointment. Most rewards, especially those from the Solar Pass, are stickers, vinyls, or clothing items that nobody will likely use, failing to add meaningful value.

As it stands, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is an okay racing game but fails to live up to the TDU legacy. Nacon needs more time to address these issues, but the recent 'Launch Dev Diary & Next Steps' video does not inspire much confidence in their vision for the TDU experience. It’s a disappointing release for me as I was hoping for more.

They Don't Make Em Like They Used To - c'mon EA, give us the remaster already....

It's a great sequel, although this being a Paradox game. It might be best to give it half a year or more for the content to roll out. Right now the game is rather bare-bones.

It's a great racing experience when it 'works'. For now, don't bother playing Career mode with all these progression losing bugs and lockups.

This game really needs a few more months in the oven to fully cook, its very clear that the game is feature-incomplete and buggy. Drag/Drift mode isn't in the game despite already having all the needed parts.

Multiplayer on the other hand, its great (again when it works) Car homologation makes it a lot more competitive. Netcode very stable even in poor networking conditions, wheel to wheel racing is very much possible.

Car level progression still need more overhaul to make it less grindy, and remove the level-wall for upgrades, I don't mind having to grind for CP but don't limit my upgrade choices behind the levels. (also for the love of god, make the levels model based rather than a specific car)

Revisit this game again in early 2024 when they will probably fixed most of the issue and added more contents.

Great game for building teamwork

The visuals in the game is enough to warrant a PC upgrades

Good fast paced naval combat fun, shame it doesn't get a lot of players it deserves.

Great F1 game for this year. Steering wheel is highly recommended for precision in driving.

Promising modern-era Battlefield replacment, Good luck devs!
