Everything about this game is good for casual fun in short-term to play on lazy week evening with a bunch of racing cars to ride in, be it with bots or people.
But long-term I cannot recommend this game for two reasons:

First one is variety.
Primarily, I'm talking about small track variety. At first you think that there's enough of the track to make it interesting, trying different layouts, reverse, maybe even something out of the place for usual cars (like truck on rally locations). But then it gets stale and you know which tracks are more fun than the other.
This would be solved if there was a track editor, that would make the game insanely better and more replayable.
Just imagine racing on real tracks or something straight from a fantasy either someone thought of or even yours!
This would be epic, but unfortunately the developers couldn't even deliver on promised car pack which was supposed to be released by now, let alone such a big yet fundamental feature.

And my second reason for not recommending the game is online racing.
Why is that? Because there's no peer-to-peer system like in most games. Instead it relies solely on game servers hosted someplace else. Because of that, your ping and your input lag (yes, input lag, you heard me right) can be a real gamble and affect how good your actual racing will be.
I run this game with my friends and for some unknown reason there's a 100% chance that every race at least a few people (especially at ovals) will experience input lag where it detects your movement too late making it very difficult to drive for a solid few seconds. Adding to that, there's a possibility that at least one player will have input lag so bad it becomes unplayable (I mean that, you can't even drive at all, it throws you all the way around the track no matter what you do) and the only solution is to either wait for next race or quit the season altogether.

Such a shame this is abandonware because I cannot call this a complete game while there's stuff that still NEEDS to be addressed, how on earth all these years later nothing was done about problems is beyond me. A shame nobody would fix at least the network problems, because that alone would make the game better.

This game underdelivers both from the delay we had to wait and expectations from it - the game is arcade-y and it's supposed to be fun but... it gets old instantly.

Physics are the same across all the cars, which of there are 8.
So, basically you get seven reskins with slightly faster top speed and acceleration as we go to another car. Maybe just a bit more grip, but there's that: Fiat 500 feels the same as Formula 4. Both can take corners flat out. Both don't need the brakes to take sharp corners. Great.

There aren't that much tracks either.
Hell, there isn't much of everything: they could've made tons and tons of customisation items like helmets and liveries with suits to go along with.
But variety is sparse and almost all of it just feels lazy and bland.
The only thing that made me go, "oh, that's nice" is the base decoration and the ability to customise and send your teammates for other races.
And that's it.
Also, there's no server browser, just private lobbies. So online will only go down from here.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game. But it is not worth it's current price, they should cut it in half to garner more interest if I'm honest.

Most boring purchase I've ever made. Which is sad to say.

This is the peak of interactive movie-like games

This is the best thing since sliced bread, personal computers and Half-Life

In the world of "mainstream" (incorrect word, but i don't know any better to relate to it's meaning) MMORPG games, SW:TOR is only one for my liking, whether it is BioWare'isk dialogues, lore and world-building, iconic music, cool-looking style or just the setting itself - it's right up my alley

Timeless masterpiece both gameplay and graphical wise with strong and active community after so many years it got released - "must play" for everyone to understand why this game has such beauty behind it

Highly replayable, fun yet competetive and skill-based shooter that delivers everything great game in such genre should

This is "My faith in humanity is restored" simulator - everyone is helping each other like one big family, doesnt matter how stupid myself one or another is, we're going through together!
Truly heartwarming experience, even if this is not intended as such :)

This is zombie apocalypse i was thirsty for years - unforgiving, yet addictive game with so much things and possibilities i've never seen
