EU release played via Steam on a Lenovo Y50-70.

I've played FlatOut on and off for a number of years. It's a decent racing game with the gimmick of crashing causing your player character to go careening out the windshield. It's a fun gimmick, and the races are admittedly challenging with an entertaining selection of side games that go out of their way to force you into windshield-ejecting situations. It also offers a fairly deep but simple upgrade system for your cars but nothing that feels particularly groundbeaking.

All in all, FlatOut is fine. It's never been my main racing game of choice and despite playing this game sporadically for a fair number of years I've never gotten close to beating all the races but I feel at this point I've experienced enough without needing to get to any sort of endgame.
