Like other people in the reviews, I, too, fell for the "play for free" trap and... well, I had to buy it.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is great. It's a more focused version of the sandbox that is the original Assetto Corsa, with more convenient ways of getting a balanced race up and running. It's also very comfy on account of the ability to control menus and open up the pause menu without the need for a keyboard and mouse, that is a godsend. ACC's focus on GT3 and tracks from a single licensed racing competition may be interpreted as a lack of content. To be honest, I really wanted to be able to drive in the Nordschleife in this one, and I REALLY miss that. But I also appreciate the small install size (as of writing this, with the game taking up about 13 GB apparently).

One thing that really upsets me and which verges on dealbreaker territory (were it not for me having just bought the game with a sale price, I guess) is that, when playing online, the game has occasional, sudden "sync" type lag spikes that freeze the game and then teleport you up ahead with total loss of control of your car for a good entire second or two. This usually results in crashes and completely ruins races and lap times alike. It also seems to happen when playing single player for some reason, but the spikes are shorter and more rare.

Still, ACC is a great, fun experience, and trying to improve your lap times is kind of addictive. While playing, I highly recommend you listen to some Eurobeat mixes or some Need for Speed music by Rom Di Prisco, it'll really add to the experience.
