It's a really cool refinement of what comprises a modern motorsport management game.

Despite the gameplay wearing on me as the credits approached, I still had a great time with this game. I can see myself coming back every now and then to work towards 100%, as the vibes are still great. I loved the chill characterization for Dave, and stayed invested because of the fun writing. A great game overall, and I can see folks more patient than me adoring the management aspects a lot.

It wears its influences very, very well. As someone that also loves Gran Turismo and Neo Drift Out, this game is filling a need that Circuit Superstars never managed to do for me. It's surprisingly challenging, but still fair.

Also, I went in only expecting the rally mode from the demo. So having all of these different events and cars, in addition to a really cool arcade mode feels like Christmas.

I'm hoping more events can be added that support slower cars, and I wish there was a little less menu-hopping to get a car ready for an event. None of that really mars the experience for me though. This is a really cool game.

I played the very first Armored Core just before starting this game, and it's kind of impressive how much that game prepared me for this one. It's very much a series where the answer to most problems is to do the coolest thing you can think of, which usually involves a sword.

Crab game good

I'm loving the new mechanics compared to the demo. Makes it feel much more whole, and turns it into more of a puzzle. I agree with PC Gamer's comparison to solitaire. I think it's still chill, especially with how much you seem to be able to tune the difficulty. Looking forward to finishing it!

It's still very very early, of course, but mechanically I think this game has already found its footing. It really is Tarkov 2.5D, and it ends up being a really interesting experience.

I've also been playing on Rookie, which I have to recommend if you get gear anxiety like I do.

I've been thoroughly enjoying this game. I've found myself absolutely engrossed in the story of the town and its people. It's all so wonderfully written. Despite the choices being somewhat fixed, I still felt like I had a great deal of agency in how the story unfolds. It's all very cool and this game deserves all of the attention!

Cars go fast. Cars go smash. Cars smash good. Car game good.

Probably the best CoD game in years. What little I played of DMZ so far has been a blast, and is definitely a good iteration on the Tarkov formula. Campaign is a lot of fun, and multiplayer feels pretty solid.

I picked this up on PC more recently, but I've played a lot more on console beforehand.
