the game is good, but compared to the crew 2, it gets boring after a while because unlike the crew 2 where you had a house/ base, the whole u.s country to free roam in, and an overall bigger and more diverse playing field, here you have 2 island and their pretty small.

I am going to leave a short review for the moment and re-write it the further I play or once I feel like writing something. But I gotta say something right away, the graphics are not that good looking. As soon as I launched the game for the first time, it detected my hardware and set my graphic settings to Ultra. But the stuttering was so bad, from 40 to - 60 back and forth. I am not surprising coming from Ubisoft titles. When they recommend a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 or an AMD Radeon RX 5700XT, I really doubt they actually played that game one one of those cards, because it was unplayable until I reduce my graphics to Medium and started playing in 1080p on an ROG STRIX 3090, overclocked!

Not only that, but the game decided to give me a bunch of cars for playing The Crew 2. That one is not bad, but not too impressive or useful. The voice acting is... meh, the guys from Donut-or whatever, they didn't sound like they really wanted to be featured in a game unlike Forza Horizon 5.

And now, for the handling... Just like The Crew 1 and The Crew 2, the handling in this game such until you upgrade your car with car parts. But at least in 1 and 2, supercars and hypercars didn't have boat-handling when stock! Now they do. I shouldn't have to brake until I hit 20 MPH in order to make a sharp turn, that's crazy unrealistic, even for an arcade game. I believe that sort of handling can really push people away really quickly. So yeah, sad to say but... you have to hit things, grind the car against walls and more in order to win races until you can upgrade your car to make it turn better... I hate it personally.

Well, that will be all for now! I hope this review was helpful until I put more time and effort into it! I know the game is still worth it but the optimization will forever be crap. Oh and uh, Lossless Scaling app does seems to work and it's helping a bit, especially with the frame generation x2 to make the game smoother. But I personally hate the little artifacts caused by it, so I don't use it.

failed at drifting you cant straighten out of a drift fix that now. its like you dont know how a car works
