Baja Edge of Control is hard as nails. Now, I am a fan of simulation racing games and I totally understand why some of them can be so difficult. This one was too much for me though. It's an off-road racing game based on the Baja 100 race. You take part in off road events like racing and hill climbing, battling through a bunch of different tournaments and, if you are like me, failing miserably. You need to master the use of the clutch, break, e-break, when to use the accelerator, how much to cut corners and the racing lines. There's a lot going on here and I think there's too much for it to be enjoyable, at least for me. The main issue is, even if you do git gud, the AI is so OP and aggressive. I was constantly getting fucked up whenever I got near the other racers, which wasn't very often as they were normally much faster than me. It isn't by definition a bad game, but this is one for the racing simulation purist masochists only and not worth it if you are not interested in hours of grinding.
