What's good - Very good driving and tracks. Cars drive amazingly, and there's a great variety of cars available so there will be something that suits your driving style. Driving in the rain is especially immersive, and in general the driving on track is enjoyable. I personally love the Blancpain series, and having such a full on experience of this is fantastic, but I do worry if it will get a bit samey.

What's not so good - Career mode is extremely lackluster. I know it might be unfair to compare ACC to F1 2018, but the career mode just isn't immersive. I'll elaborate later about why I was so disappointed about the career. The UI is a little clunky, but it's workable. It's very difficult to run without turning the settings down considerably. Online has been very ropey and the penalty system is almost useless. Force feedback is quite vague and doesn't really communicate what the tyres are doing which is a huuuge disappointment especially after the quality of the force feedback in the old Assetto Corsa. Apparently VR isnt much good either but I don't use VR so I can't say for myself.

In the end, ACC is a very very good game. In my opinion, this is the best representation of GT3 in sim racing. However, I feel it was released too early. I've had multiple game crashes and I just feel it could use a few more months of testing and polish before it's ready.


I mentioned earlier that I will going into more detail about my disappointment at the career mode. Unfortunately, I feel this is the absolute weak point of the game. Unlike the F1 games, there is no paddock experience that really immerses you in the life of a racing driver. No team communication, no media, nothing. For me, this makes a season feel like a series of quick races more than anything else. However, the worst part is how the endurance thing works. At the start, you choose your race length preferance. Because I chose medium, every endurance race on the calendar is skipped. This means no Silverstone, Monza, Spa, Paul Ricard or Barcelona, which are all 3 or 6 hour races irl. I have no idea why I couldnt just do short races there.
The structure of the race is also weird. Theres 2 full qualifying and 2 races, and each race you have to do a drive change, even if it's only a 20 minute race, which can get very tiresome. All in all career mode (at least on medium) result in only doing half the tracks in very weird races. I'd just look at the calendar online and make a collection of quick races

Beautiful. Never been to Ben Gurion myself, however the Gates are fully functional, the taxiways and runways look beautiful. When Using the PMDG 777 with this scenery I was getting 10-15 fps compared to 20-25 with default scenery (i5 4670k , 760 , 8gb RAM). My first scenery and I love it :P Highly recommended

It's fundamentaly quite good, but many addon planes, such as the PMDG 737, do not work

Not steam's fault this game has my bad review, but ubisoft's. After entering the activation code uplay wants it again, but the severs are (always) down, meaning i cannot play the game
Rubbish
