Overall, this was a decent open-world (more like open-county) racing game but only a slight improvement over Rivals which is the only other entry I've played so far. Speaking of Rivals, I found the Night/Day mechanic of earning cash and reputation to be much more succinct than the Racer/Cop back and forth which essentially made you play the game twice. There is a staggering amount of customisation for both your vehicle of choice and your avatar, however, it's a shame the latter ends up being squandered on a story that barely seemed to acknowledge them for the most part; had no regrets slapping a LED mask onto them given how minute their emotional stakes are (and somewhat pretended they were a distant cousin of Wrench from Watch Dogs 2). Everything else is fairly standard fare: an okay selection of event types, overly familiar collectibles (except for the destructible flamingos...yeah, really) and competent controls depending on what terrain/event you specialise your car for. Enjoyed my 20 hours or so with it but I'm in no rush to play it again.
