Going free on PS+ was probably the smartest move possible for this game. It's a little feature-light with a fairly grindy economy that wouldn't have sat well with me if it was a full price release. But as a freebie, it's a very fun time waster.

The idea is tonnes of fun, and the execution is pretty solid. It looks and sounds good as a native PS5 game; the characters aren't on the level of something like Overwatch, but they're nicely designed and there's a great flare to distinguish them (such as unique riffs on the main menu theme, depending on who you are highlighting).

The cars feel arcadey and satisfying, although destruction detail and the general physics of how the game feels could be a bit more weighty. It is, after all, a game about crashing into other players first and foremost. The modes are all solid but more of them, and more maps, would go a long way.

If it has decent post-release support, I will definitely jump back in.
