Judgement: Not Recommended
View review on Steam
I wonder if anybody play tested it.
Which is a sad thing because it could be my one of my favorite games ever. Great setting, nice stories, some random spam/news mails that add flawor to worldbuilding.. Juicy car fights with nice weapons... And unfortunatelly enddless repetition with "toxic rng".
Game is divided into 10 seasons - only difference between them is car you are driving and story. Missions inside are exactly the same - and there is 7 types of them. You got objectives like: finish 3 quota missions, upgrade armor to lvl 3, earn 350k$ and so on... And you have to choose one of 4 availible missions to finish objective. No right mission type? To bad. Finish any you like and get new rng generated missions... No right mission again - repeat ad nauseam... Objective completed? Move to next one and after that and some more are done get finall mission/boss battle availible... With is exactly the same like any other mission so far xD
The same thing in the shop - you can buy something from rng selected weapons/upgrades (you can choose from rng amount of them between 2 to 6 at the same time). No weapon/upgrade you need? Too bad - finish any mission and get new set of rng selected stuff... Nothing you need again? Repeat.
It wouldn't be bad if there were more missions types - but there is only 7 of them. They differ in dificulties (again rng) and later you will get mutators on them to spice things up (like directional voulnerability or less but more powerfull opponents) and thats nice... but again rng based.
Other user wrote review: "toxic rng" and gave thumbs down and... well it sums up everything above really well.
WARNING FOR ACHIEVEMENT HUNTERS:
On top of that dews slapped some random, generic achievements. Probably without thinking how they fit the content.
Seriously - finish 1000 seasons? I'm bored to death after repeating the same stuff while finishing 4 of them. I'm bored to the point where I'm not longer interested in how story unfolds. And guess what - shortest season with easier to win car will take (based on your luck with rng) between 0,5 and 2 hours. Now multiply it 1000 times to get that achievement... worth it?
Also there is challeng item (fuzzy dice) that reduces your income. There is achievement for finishing game with that stuff equipped. Funny thing - rng let me to see this item only twice. And every time it appeared it was in first batch of items to buy, cost was much higher than my funds + money I would get by selling every single item on a car (weapons and armor)... and it never appeared again after first mission in that run... It's either f*cked up or I had bad luck with rng in my 20h of playing this game.
And it keeps crushing to desktop!!! After finished mission it sometimes break without saving. Also every second time I quit game I see unreal engine error box. What else? Fans on my GPU are louder than when I was playing Witcher 3 in ultra settings... Game would use some optimalisation I guess...
To sum up:
If you want to try it - get it in 1$ bundle. Otherwise it's overpriced. Seriously - it's the same thing played in a loop over and over again.
