8/10 Ka-Chow!

NASCAR is goated

For Context - This is the first NASCAR game ive ever played, and first game by iRacing ive ever played, so with that in mind, here is my take: I usually don't leave good reviews for games very often, but i enjoyed my time in this and so far, genuinely feel like i got enough content here to justify what i paid, and that's hard to say these days with most games, that said, i think its maybe 10$ on the high side, but that's just due to the Graphics and the fact they are just going to release another version in a years time - Graphics aren't really next gen like you'd see in Forza, but they are not by any means bad. The driving is really easy to get used too - i drive with both a wheel + pedals setup and with a controller, just depending on what rig I'm gaming on and where - Both feel well refined, obviously the wheel is tons more fun, but a controller works perfectly fine for this game. Tuning - I do wish there was a performance graph - something to visualize the changes being made, but its all there if you are into tuning. On my rigs, ive not had any crashes, stutters or other preformance issues, but i do have mid-high end hardware - but ive not had any stability or preformance issues some of the other reviewers had so far. All in all, I am happy with the game atp.

Game looks good - you don't really need higher than high preset! my CPU is begging for mercy tho lol Game drives fine - MASSIVE issue with steering wheel right now though (mine is a Thrustmaster T248R), if you slide a bit too much the car just straight up REFUSES to countersteer even if you give it full lock to the opposite side. Online AI is really good, above 100% strength you really need a custom setup to compete with them. I give it an 8/10, very fun game but the wheel behavior needs fixing asap
