Well, as it was said by someone before, the EBD scratches quite a particular itch. There are not much endless driving games but this one stands above them all graphically and aesthetically.

Is it boring? Ehh, depends on what were doing before and what you're thinking about at this moment. No objective means you can't lose AKA you just roll with it. I would describe it as a gum but in a good way.

As the game is in its early stages there're a bunch of weird things that I think are in need of a lil touch:
- The driving itself. Rn it feels like cars aren't powered by their actual wheels but rather get dragged by some force in like five meters in front of a grill: it's especially obvious when you hammer 120 km (and above). I kinda understand why it was done that way but it's not breezy at all because nobody else does it like this making such a pivotal mechanic unorthodox;
-Speed sensitive steering needs to be either toned down or have options. The same thing, when you have to take a sharp 30 Y-turn and and this Ram just glides like Esperanto in vice city - not breezy;
- Physics. I would consider them the worst part of the EBD. Sorry, buddy, but they're just cruel and unsatisfying.
- More attention to offroad. Getting off the track is just unwieldy and disorienting because suspensions weren't designed to work on an uneven terrain so if you were jerking off and missed the edge of a road you might flip like Petty.

What I think the EBD would benefit from:
- Ofc, steering wheel support;
- FPV camera positions. I would even go as far as suggesting passengers' perspectives;
- More control over vehicles. Look, I'm tired after work, after studying, doing some senseless ♥♥♥♥ - I wanna fiddle with some dash buttons beep-bop-blip something just exploded oopsie daisy. But no man, seriously, you need to add either clutch and gearbox or an automatic transmission with an ability to turn on and off an engine and hit neutral. High beam lights would be preferable too because you can't see jack at night but it's your visual direction;
- Wipers. Yeah, you just need those in the game. 'Tho, they're gonna be hard to implement.

What this game doesn't need:
- An objective:
"- You're pointless
- I hit your child with a sedan";
- Traffic;
- Vehicle maintenance.

So, is the game any good and do I recommend it? I dunno : ) yeah, I think so. It's janky but you can get through this jank to get satisfied and relaxed - what the EBD was intended to do
