This is definitely one of the better Rally games in the current scenario.
Its thoroughly enjoyable with very long routes, a thing which was a complain from serious fellow sim racers for a long time.

I had a doubt when i first played it, if it will run smooth or graphics are descent enough or my laptop can run it.
I have a 3060 105w Helios 300 laptop, and at everything ultra (except car reflections at low) i smoothly played at 60fps cap with gpu hitting like 70-80% usage on average, for such a new title, EA did a great job honestly, i know there were issues initially, but it looks like they got fixed.

Highly recommended on sale.

When you allow Community to MOD one of best things happens, Assetto Corsa Happens.

On my 3060 105w laptop, with DLSS Quality, it cries to pull 70 fps. (capped at 60 for breathing space)

Its not one of the best trucker game, but different for sure. The factors like getting out of truck, attaching trailers become boring soon or later but it is there, you can walk on foot forever if you want.

if you will give more time to this game, and your rig can give constant fps, you will start liking the game, traffic is less, this should be the actual reflection of real Alaska.

The map is good, the Terrain is good, what looks like huge 2D mountains are actually there in map, with height and width, and we do cross them from close. There are some feel good, relaxing factors in the game, hope they can create more roads and jobs in the current less build map.

I use Thrustmaster TX then i have to switch to keyboard for many settings, which is a big pain for sure.

Optimization is still not there completely, but its very playable now with occasional stutters.

I wish they can bring multiplayer, but the map is quiet small, to make it big trucks don't run very fast, barely 55 miles they max, it is normal but the controls are arcadish.

Sexy & i know It

Oh Yeah. Liked it.

1 - Do not go over negative reviews. Its a fun game, if you don't own any other older titles, this is good title to start. If you own Forza Horizon 5 then you can skip Motorsports, because they imported most things from FH5 but in bad way. This game Motorsports is only for people who want REAL TRACKS.

2 - The unskippable audio guide is not throughout the game, it only happens once for new things unlocked and it is like 1-2 minutes mostly. Nothing to whin about. If you are playing games, you are already on the point of wasting time, by skipping or playing, its same.

3 - I use Thrustmaster TX racing wheel and my experience had been good with the game. Tried Xbox Controller and it was also descent. I use Sports/Full Traction and Stability control for now as i like semi arcade/semi-sim whatever you call it.

4 - It is a demanding game, but it can run smoothly on a 3060 laptop (i use) with high settings and Ray tracing off for like 65-70fps.

5 - The Graphical issue is majorly the forced use of TAA got half-FIXED. Now we can simply TURN OFF TAA and use no Anti-aliasing which is actually result in way more sharper video output. Using Nvidia Game Filter can fix most issues for Nvidia users easily.

Yes i own and play The Crew, The Crew 2 , The Crew Motorfest, AC, ACC(all dlcs), ATS, ETS 2, Forza Horizon 4, 5, Snowrunner (all dlc), Grid 2019, Grid Legends, Dirt 3, Dirt 4, Dirt Rally 1, 2, WRC 6, 10, Generations, NFS - (all available on steam), rFactor 1, 2 (used to play with EA Outlaws team and they were involved in rFactor 1 development back in 2009, Project Cars 2, Automobilista 1, 2. Nascar Heat 5, F1 17, 20, 22, BeamNG, etc, except 3-4 titles i own all on steam and play them occasionally., i still liked Forza Motorsports

Mixed a bunch of games, in a good way though.
There is (1) CRAFTING TREE, (2) CHARACTER SKILL TREE, (3) CLAN/TEAM/TRIBE with humans as co-op or BOTS, who can do tasks. Then the most common thing, (4) FARMING SIMULATOR with level progression, and (5) BASE BUILDING, Of course what will you do with farming too much?

Craft Tools then start hitting everywhere from bushes to trees to rock deployments. this is like one of the most common mechanics in most identical games and the trend continues here too.

Map looks big enough though, what happens is that once people learn the game, map start feeling like nothing, everything gets explored in fastest way possible.

There is a game called Rust, which i have played like 8k+ hours, which support mods. And in mods you can get every feature most games offer, may it be character skill, farming level, crafting tree, base building, pvp, exploration, vehicles(heli, horses, cars), etc.

Graphics are descent, i mean it doesn't look detailed for a 2024 game, but more like 5 year old project. But it is good enough. Can give 8/10 for AA title.
Turning on FSR helped in getting more sharpness and detail in game at 1080p.

One thing i liked is "Optimization" Any entry level GPU can run it at almost high settings, don't forget to cap fps to 60, unless your gpu can pull fps close to monitor refresh rate.

I am sure this game will be as boring as PAL World and people will quit it within few weeks though.

I will give it a try for the reason its 15 usd game, similarly priced as other similar games with similar graphics and mechanics.

One of the least appreciated sandbox racing/driving game.
The customization, options to do anything are way more than anyone can think.
The community mod support is the heart of this game.
The freedom to create any type of scenario, then do anything in the scenario is infinite.
Think like GTA mods are provided by developer, but not to affect other players, but replicate/perform/build custom scenarios.

This is the reason i am a huge fan of rFactor like sim racing game, because it allows community content.
And trust me, people out there in community are very creative, responsible and dedicated.

Graphically needs very modern hardware. Strugges at high for 60fps with DLSS on Quality on 3060 Laptop.
There is no tutorial on most part of the game. But in other ways, it is what simulation is about.

Played on 3060 Mobile GPU of Laptop with 90 Watts TDP and it got destroyed.
I have not seen such unoptimized game ever.
They have placed ASSETS everywhere in mass auto-generated landscape, grass trees (same model texture) replicated.
