The verdict
A janky, funny open-desert driving and car-maintenance sandbox, best with friends or on sale. Skip it if you need updates, polished multiplayer or lasting content.
Great for
Players who enjoy chaotic physics humor, car tinkering and goofing around with friends or mods
Main risk
No updates in 3 years and a silent dev leave thin content and buggy multiplayer at full price
What changed in the last 30 days
124 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews mostly cite no update in 3 years and a dev who stopped communicating. Many point to Drive Beyond Horizons as an alternative. Fairly confident this drives the drop.
