can't recommend the game as it is right now.

its very fun to play, and the netcode is great, but the region lock completely destroys the matchmaking for me.

I don't live in a very populated area, so it takes around 15 minutes for me to find a match, just for it to be against 3-bar people who rejects it immediately or wifi players (I play wired)
and even then, it forces you to play against the same people over and over, ranked or unranked, doesn't matter, so at worst you get stuck in a cycle of people rejecting your games until one of you cancels the matchmaking.

for a game with a netcode this good, it makes absolutely no sense to have a region lock this strict.

the 2nd issue is with the game mechanics, the drive rush eats your inputs thanks to the screen freezing, its literally game breaking and extremely annoying to face people who drive rush just as you are waking up to try to disrupt your reversal input.

until the game doesn't get at the very least the matchmaking issue fixed, I really can't recommend it to anyone.
