More about FlatOut 2

The press gave it 76; the people who bought it give it 96 percent. A 20-point gap in the buyer's favour.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 6 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 12.4-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 15 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth. Inside the two-hour refund window, 91 percent of the 4,142 reviews written there were positive, against 96 percent overall, and those are 21 percent of everything written about it.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, and at 12.4 hours it is short enough to finish on one.

Nothing more satisfying than T-boning someone into a wall at 200kph. Jason not-so Walker anymore.

No DLC, no internet connection required, no new map every other week, no microtransactions, just good ol' wreckage.
