It's a great game, until you finish all the races and realize that it just becomes a "collectathon" of all the cars and gets very tedious - also since Horizon 5 is out, don't know how much longer the servers will be online for... (as of 2/25/2024)
It's great, love the art style and the cultural themes (it's rare to see video games these days that don't just perceive Slavs as the bad guys), but the "open world" is frankly a joke, because the environments are extremely scripted.
Great game, but it's been stuck in Alpha for 11 years. Yes the developers still update it but the updates are so minuscule that they should honestly just release the game already.
Black Mesa is a work of art, and it's because of this game that Half Life 1 is able to live on with future generations, yes the original is great but this is PERFECTION.
