“TDU: Solar Crown is with Season 6 finally in a state, where i can recommend that game. The game now has a lot of features, which where missing before (e.g. Taxi and Detective missions, Casino) from previous TDU games.…”

“I got the game for less than $20 and it's a solid open world racer. Fun to explore with a fantastic Hong Kong map and a bonus Ibiza map. Seriously a great time, but I do see some annoying montization. Progression is…”

“You know what? It's actually pretty OK. In fact, I'd say it's even kind of charming. At the current sale price of -70%? It's a solid yes from me. I think a lot of people forgot just how terrible Test Drive Unlimited 2…”

“Would have been better off remastering tdu and tdu2 then releasing this, but I have a feeling they would even mess those up. Do yourself a favor and get the community server mod for tdu2, Much better game overall.”

Meaning anyone foolish enough to purchase it, will lose any right to play at that point in time! Shove that where the sun don't shine!”
