The value story

It has been discounted 63 times in the 12 years tracked here. The median cut across all of them is 80 percent, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 6 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 70 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 99 percent. On the same math Drive Beyond Horizons ($24.99, scores 39) and Truck & Logistics Simulator ($19.99, scores 27) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

It's a Simulator but... not in a good way. The popins are bad, Cars appear out of nowhere. The controls... You're driving along, Make a slight turn and your car crashes because you couldn't control it. All you do is drive and you gain XP for doing certain stuff. I'd only get this when it's cheap and you enjoy unlocking achievements. Otherwise "steer" clear of this game.

Helps me visualize what's in the Drivers handbook. If you're looking for a street racing sorta thing or something with polish, this isn't for you.
