“It's an alright game. It has potential to be great, but it's held back by bugs and a lack of progression. Would recommend purchasing if on sale (like I did), but not when at full price as it is not worth the ~£30 they…”
“game can be fun. Played for 2 hours and noticed a couple of bugs like traffic not moving and npc's just walking straight in to the car. buy when on sale. Have to give a bad review until bugs are fixed”
“Bruh how do you even leave so many bugs, your game has more issues than my life, what testing are yall doing before release this game i need to know so I can avoid it. Could be very fun but so many weird issues just…”

“Visually impressive but uneven experience great for relaxed driving fans, yet held back by weak AI and technical issues. I did what I could but in the end I go bored sorry devs.”
“This is a very specific recommendation, for a very specific group. The game works perfectly in VR, and if you have a beefy PC the visually are stunning in VR to (by injecting VR with UEVR - if you have a VR headset and…”
“love how accurate Barcelona is recreated. Very close to the city, but still game is general fun!”

“I wouldn't recommend buying this game. It is not worth your money at full price due to its bugs. I can't really put a good/bad list here since I don't have enough material for that. The traffic AI is so buggy, it…”
“wonderful game. great detail, getting 100+ FPS with a 4060 graphics card, 9.5/10 rating”
“I love that can drive almost as recklessly as I do in real life! Great game with a Logitec G923. Runs great on my 8GB Rx580 and 16GB Ryzen 5 2600X.”

“The game has many bugs. One of them being that cars in front of me won’t move even though nothing is blocking them so I have to drive around them on the pavement, making me crash many cars in the meantime.”

“its cute, but its far from a good driving sim. G29+shifter and there appears to be no engine breaking, stalling is inconsistent, accelerator has no range: at some point its either does nothing or floors it to what feels…”
“i bought this game over 10 months ago and never rlly played it but i started playing it when i got my logitech g29 including shifter, at first when i bought it i played it for a couple of hours on my laptop and it was…”
“What this game tells me that I am worse driving a digital taxi than a digital bus/trucks. Its almost impossible to drive manual. You'll be speeding in 1st gear acting like you're in 4th”

“Buggy mess, feels like alpha game. Car mechanics feels wonky and too fast to make precise movements. AI cars are weird and vanish for no reason. No red light tickets, no speeding tickets, odd pickup points of customers…”

“The optimization is terrible. Constant frame drops, stuttering, and inconsistent performance make the game unplayable. This is happening on an RTX 5070 with an i5-12400F, so the issue is clearly with the game, not the…”
“This game is very laggy and has several things wrong with it. One especially being that the NPC drivers will stop at a green light and cause major traffic and you will have no other choice but to go around them and…”
“The game content is fun, but the performace of the game makes it unplayable at times. Very glad I did not pay full price for it.”

— a player, Steam review · 31 hrs played“Trash simulator, plain and simple; do NOT buy. Revisited this game after purchasing months prior, in the hopes improvements would have been implemented. The game is worse than I remember. Vehicle mechanics on the outset are worthless; the car guns it or hard stops, the car turns…”
