This game does absolutely nothing to make it easy- auto transmission, easy difficulty, and you still will end up hitting walls 90% of the time because the cars accelerate (and decelerate) incredibly slow. Brakes and handbrake work great, but to a fault- they stop so hard that you'll pretty much just end a drift if you try using them partway through. I come from a ton of drifting experience in the forza series (motorsport and horizon) and this game manages to feel neither like a sim nor an arcade. It's too slippery to be a sim, but the power mechanics don't work like an arcade. Feels like you're trying to get a 150hp beater to hit some angles on ice. It's visually appealing and it's not too boring I guess. Lost interest after 30 minutes and don't know if I would bother playing again.
