Early Access Review
Distance is an arcade racing game(duh).
Pros
The game looks good, and the graphics are good.
There's a lot of things you can do in this game
The grip of the cars

Cons
The adventure mode; you get in and play, thinking it's supposed to be a good and fun activity, the first maybe two levels were actually enjoyable.
The controls was confusing, the side thrusters was annoying and the air control felt dumb; basically, when you get in the air you have to stop controlling your car, because it'll react to every movement which is made. When you jump, you can't hold forwards because you will faceplant your car, if you hold backwards you do a half backflip landing on your back, it feels annoying.
The visuals. Yes I did say that the visuals were good in this game, that's because they are. But it's a trainwreck when you're driving; there's so many things happening around you that you don't know where to go. I often asked myself if I was about to drive into a wall or not. There's also no useful visual assist in the game. Whenever you learn to do a new shiny thing in the adventure mode, it tells you that you can do that thing, but that's also the only thing it really tells you. It doesn't show where you have to go, there was a point where the track split in two and of course, I drove in one of the directions (they connected at the end), but it told me I was driving the wrong direction. Apparently you had to jump up, and fly upwards, in the middle of where the track split.


I asked myself "What the -profanity- is going on in this game" about every 30 seconds, because it felt like that.
Will I recommend it to a friend? No, I won't. Unless they fix some of the issues I won't be picking this game up again.
I came into this game with an open mind, but I am disappointed.

You played it for less than half an hour, therefore I can't believe anything in your lengthy review.

"When you jump, you can't hold forwards because you will faceplant your car"
It sounds like you were holding W while driving - You shouldn't do this. WASD is for rotation, arrow keys are for steering. If you hold W while driving and then try to jump, you're holding the front rotation jet, which makes your nose tilt forward.

"Apparently you had to jump up, and fly upwards, in the middle of where the track split."
The final adventure mode is a complete rework of the current public one, so many of those areas have changed drastically, and this specific area does have a ramp in the middle with other visual cues.
