Absolutely fantastic looking game across the board.
Makes seasons and the different biomes feel natural as they change, with weather events like sandstorms adding to the game.
An outstanding roster of cars, with significant upgrading and tuning options.
It offers a huge variety of races, stories, challenges, features and more to complete.

A few bugs here and there, particularly with audio queues repeating themselves, also a few (albeit very rare) freezes or crashes.
