Honestly stunned that this is what's considered to be an "industry leader" in the racing genre these days. It's the most generic, bright Color's and loud noises, woke pronoun choosing game I've ever had the misfortune of playing. You start the game by being dropped out of a aircraft carrier in multiple vehicles for no reason whatsoever, dropping in a parachute while driving the likes of a mclaren and a jeep. I mean 1 - that's utterly ridiculous 2- it's the worst start to a racing game because it shows the game has no story or direction 3 - it's pointless. Then you choose a car from your garage and already you have "legendary" Lamborghini's and porche's, really ??? Where's the progression ? This Just sucks all the will out of you to keep playing if you already have some of the best cars in the game unlocked. Next you do a generic race and after that they pin loads of little event markers on your map, so many it would make an Ubisoft game jealous. I just don't get why people are giving glowing reviews and I wish there was a comment section so people could tell me what's so good about this game. I genuinely would love to know. The graphics are good on the series X but were massively talked up, there's Zero progression, no story, no wow moments, totally unrealistic, and downright boring to play. You go from one marker to the next like a mindless drone until you either give up or do everything, awful game.
