Played one match, and it's all i need to write this early access review, which is sad because most early access games i will play upwards of 20-50 hours before even considering it...

First off, customization:
When i think of "accent colors" i think of pinstripes, carbon hoods or roofs, decals and so forth. NOT WHEELS AND SPRINGS. Same with "primary color" on some of the vehicles only changing what SHOULD be accent colors... May want to look into that, maybe add a Third color option for accessories so you can change the wheels and springs separately from the main chassis.

Secondly, Server latency:
My lord is this bad. Vehicles are jumping around the screen so severely that it's impossible to connect a good hit on them with anything less than a gauss or rocket launcher due to the latency you experience at close range. Any other game i'm running 80 ping, here? 250-800 in just that first match. NOT a good first impression and certainly not a good way to retain new players. Then there's the plane drop. How are you supposed to know where you're going to drop when the vehicles are jumping around like they're de-syncing from the server?

Thirdly, weapon loadouts: Switching weapons takes time, i'm perfectly aware of this. But when you show a hotkey for something, you click it, and it fails to be useable even though it says you have ammo or multiple of said items? There's a huge problem. These are major issues that should have been "shot down" before launching.

4th the shop: There's a big focus on paying for skins and decals, *which is perfectly fine!* but you should have worked on the game's stability BEFORE worrying about your store being populated with items. You don't make the merchandise before you make an impression to a big audience. You may have a following, but i'm sure it's not strong enough to support the game so fervently right now.


5th, the camera:
I'm not sure if this was meant to be a part of the game but that camera "rocking" effect is nice. BUT, what's not nice about it, is that the camera occasionally will jolt back and forth causing the camera to become.... unresponsive for a few seconds i guess is the proper way to put it. When it suddenly zooms out you lose control of the camera briefly, once it returns to the vehicle though it's okay... Would suggest looking into that.

6th, sound: I truly hope those engine sounds are place-holders because shifting endlessly is not something that should be happening in 2019. It was okay in old games, but these days cars with "30 gears and more" is rather unbecoming of a game of any sort. More of a pet-peeve than it is an issue but i thought i'd still comment on it because after a while the constant shifting does get annoying.

To put things simply. There are many key mechanics that make this game nearly unplayable in its current state, and FAR too much focus on the store. In its CURRENT state, i cannot recommend this game. There's far too many issues that should have been fixed BEFORE EARLY ACCESS, that are still blatantly an issue. I'm sorry guys.

But, don't get discouraged! it's a great concept! You just need to give it some TLC before you add the damned polish.
