What drives the score

Grades: S best, D weakest

S is the best grade and D the weakest, judged as a buyer. ▲ raises the score, ▼ lowers it, ? is an input we do not have, • is a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

Raising the score
Cost per hour$0.72/hr
Price per hour of game. It moves the score inside the ceiling reviews set
MonetizationNone
Checked: no in-game purchases or loot boxes. That earns a small credit unless Steam lists in-app purchases
Holding it back
Reviews
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
For context
Refunds39 of 800 reviews
Steam-purchase reviews sampled whose writer refunded the game. Nothing is docked
AI contentNone disclosed
From the developer's own Steam disclosure. No disclosure is not proof of none, so it does not move the score

Why dont they tell you, if you buy the game, you cant use it until you have spent more money downloading addons. I wish I had read the reviews before I bought it. When you start the game up it asks you to download the free pack but then nothing happens, total rip off. Ok update on the review, you have to go to the website and download the free car`s and track`s, would have saved a bit of anxiety if it had been...

€200 for all cars and tracks after paying €30 (full price) for a game with NO content. Not such a popular game since covid days lol. Same as the other negative reviews, buy the game only to find out I need to spend more money to get some tracks and cars. I would NOT recommend this game even if it's on sale. This game is designed for the iRacing type gamer.
