CarX Street

Shitty optimization, no splash startup screen to adjust things.

Even after getting the game to pause and setting everything to min, there's more lag than a turtle with asthma.

We need to go back to the good old days where you didn't need to steal a NASA computer just to comfortably run things.

are yall serious with this update???
ALL my cars & progress gone. HOURS spent customizing, tuning.. GONE. back to level 1 & cant even acces my dlc cars.
what a way to ruin & kill a game man jesus christ

It's a great driving game, but still needs further developing. The wheel control needs a linearity adjuster and maybe a couple more ff settings. Also lighting adjustment is essential.... It also needs a way to look left and right from within the cockpit. And the cars look elongated, maybe that is just the FOV but it still could be improved but otherwise a great driving experience and you can definitely tell the difference between stock and tuned cars...

Despite what a lot of people say this game is very fun, and brings the dream of building fun cars to life. I play on wheel and it makes the experience a lot better, and physics are decent for an arcade game. Not as good as assetto physics but its way better than nfs and other games I've played. For the downsides, its carx so (most) of the cars sound terrible but there are a few that have great sound design. The progression does get a little repetitive and slow in the middle, but the trill of building and driving new cars makes up for that. Overall I'd say 8/10 game, and you are able to have tons of fun in this game depending on your mindset.

(Carx if you're seeing this PLEASE make the sound design better, and add cops I think that'll make this game a 10/10.)

CarX Street came a long way from launch

Its fun but optimisation lets it down a wee bit.

DLC`s are also a bit questionable but over all a fun game to have

Very fun but gets boring real quick. When i had around 28 hours i had every car in the game and had completed most of the things to do. But still an amazing game graphics is keeping me hooked

i really hoped for this game to feel like CarX Drifts physics and handling just with a open world vibe and map but i was honestly let down

Many flaws, took me 1hr learning how the controls settings worked, my first car feel weird and the manual mode is "existant".... all that said, I am so happy to finally have a game where i can just get the feel of NFS Underground and F&F classics. I just got one of the car i hate the most but I am broke and stuck with a damn fwd karen's civic hatchback, my stepmother had a turquoise one and called her "the little darling"

All that nostalgic cheesiness is awesome with wheel support. little hidden gem for relax driving like you are 17 and your first mod is a blowoff valve.

The game in it's current state isn't perfect but is fun enough to ignore the setbacks (which I mention later).

Someone asked whether this game is based off of a real place

I'd say it's a group project, it has mountains, highways, a city (European vibe city), racetrack dlc, Torii Gates and lots of other Japanese inspired areas.

With a car list of over 100 cars, including those of which are dlc, event (duplicates of some cars that can be unlocked through events), but most cars you can buy with credits, although need to be a certain level to buy a lot of them, and levels aren't nearly as easy to get unlike in Forza.

This for now is the closest any car game has gotten to being in Japan (excluding the JDM rise of the scorpion since it was a demo).

Photos overall are pretty good, decent amount you can adjust (one issue being that all the setting I toggled get reset and there's no preset I can make for the camera, having to constantly go and change the setting to be at what I had then change one aspect that I wanted does get annoying), but not as comprehensive as in Forza Horizon 5.

I posted some photos I took on my profile

People in the lobbies are cool to play with, just see them and start drifting around the map!

Issues I have with this game are:

On my 4070 super, NOT being able to keep a consistent 60fps!!!

Lots of assets popping in out of no where (like in beamng)

Cars are very slow from the start, takes a good 5 or so hours to even start driving decently fast, but from there it was less of a grind, I was chilling doing drifts comfortably after that.

Overall rating of an 8/10,

May change my rating in the future since it's still not fully developed

Visually it's a very promising game. The car selection and customization is downright AMAZING and what NFS wishes they could do in the modern era. Map design is great, courses are varied, in a beautiful big city that has lots of different variety in the different areas you get to drive in. They did a really good job with the overall atmosphere, and although it could definitely be optimized to run better, it is a good looking game.

However unfortunately the driving part of the driving game just isn't fun or rewarding. Half of it is due to how the cars all feel WAY too heavy, leading to even lightweight cars with racing tires and brakes having atrocious understeer and braking. It also seems like there is a very hard line between heavily understeering for your life and the car snapping into sliding sideways. Like it's a drift game engine adapted to an open world racer, probably because it is.

Other half is due to the game committing the arcade racer sins of making it unclear which objects are destructible, objects that shouldn't be which are (and vice versa), and having far too many dead-stop indestructible objects around in the first place. Some bushes break, some don't. Some lamp posts do, some don't. Some signs do, some don't. Just bad design.

There's been far too many frustrating race restarts because something completely stupid happened like getting pushed off a freeway ramp (why is the wall destructible???) by the AI and tumbling to the street down below or hitting an indestructible flower bush (why???) that literally stops you dead from 200mph.

Overall it's still a good game, clearly has passion put into it, and given the number of open-world and racers that still are to this scope in this day and age I still do come back to it occasionally (until the driving frustrates me again). But I will happily update my review and have it be recommendable if the devs do take the feedback into consideration and make improvements to the game in these areas.

Very Good Game just wish there was Australian servers, its hard to convince friends to get the game also when the best ping available is >100

game is so fun with endless lines on tons of roads, as long as the devs continue to listen to the community this game will strive, it is quite a grind at first but once you have a few cars you like you'll want to play it non stop

Grindy

crashes within first minute every time, doesnt matter if its on my ssd or gen4 nvme, garbage

I really wanted to like this game but between the understeer and lack of players and a whole slew of other issues I cant recommend it.

This is actually a nice and enjoyable game. If you have high expectations you will have some bad experience with it, but if you want to enjoy a nice and enjoyable ride after a hard working day, it is definitely something which worth a try. My fps is pretty decent (about 80 fps) with an old gtx 1070 (64gb of memory, amd ryzen 5900x). Definitely worth a try!

Meh. That's the best way i can describe this game.

The driving physics are mediocre, the AI is very poorly designed, the difficulty scaling seems non-existent, the map design isn't great, and the game is quite grindy.

4/10 - Can't really recommend.

Game is fun but having problems with my ST290 Flight stick I use it with every other racing game even car x drifting but I cant even launch it with it plugged in and when I start the game and plug it in it crashes instantly

Great arcade racer with and old school vibe a la "Need for speed Underground" with alot of content to enjoy explore and make yours!

I really love this game! But Ive been thinking about purchasing a controller what should I buy. Any Suggestions?

This game had quite a rough launch, but the updates have proven to make the game a lot better.

Im too lazy to write a detailed review, but I personally enjoyed this game and if you are looking for a good modern need for speed esque game then this is it.

Just a side note.. DO NOT INSTALL IF YOU HAVE AN HDD!!! This game will stutter like hell on hdds, it was and still is my biggest complaint about the game. After buying an external ssd with usb 3.0, things began to move a lot smoother.

Here's the thing. I would love to recommend this game to others. It's fun, has got intuitive controls and the graphics look incredible.
There are issues. Huge, important issues that must be taken care of before I can recommend this to anyone.
The understeering. Has anyone driven a Coupe or car (other than trucks. They are the sole exception) that has a turn radius of 10-15 degrees? Well in this game every single car comes with that by default. And there's no easy way to fix it. And the max turn radius? Oh about 25 degrees.
Then the AI is... impossible to say the least. Here are their abilities
A. 0-120 in 2 seconds
B. Bulldozer capabilities. They can ram you out of the way and take off like they hit nothing.
C. Immovable. You can't PIT maneuver them at all. You can't knock them out of the way. They have a downforce like nothing I've seen before. You hit a hump in the road going 180 and catch air. They’re going 190 and never leave the ground.
D. INSANE SPEED AND ACCELERATION. You are limited to semi-realistic physics. But these AI racers can easily catch up to you while you are going 210 and 5 miles ahead of them. I was doing a race. I managed to get ahead and Nitrosed until I was way ahead. They caught within 30 seconds and all four cars passed me. Keep in mind, I’m doing 220 at this point. Ain’t no way that’s possible.
E. AI traffic interferes in favor of the AI racers. People will probably call me crazy for this, but I’ll be in the lead and all a sudden every AI traffic car in the game is loading in. And then they just stop. Like straight up stop in the middle of the road and don’t move.
So, developers. FIX THE GAME! FIX THE AI! FIX THE UNDERSTEER!

fuck this game npc's are fucking me up not to mention the their timing is litterrally throwing your rythm, and the opponents are rubberbanding much even tho they are not using the max tires worst than nfs mw btw

it's aight. tho the multiplayer lobbies can be hit or miss depending on what sort of driving you're looking to do, and the class specific region-locked system limits the fun to be had.

one of the best tuning menus in a "arcade" racing game, what forza horizon wishes it could be (AND ITS ONLY 20 BUCKS)

oh and bonus points for dajiban.

Feels like a reskin of CarX Drift. I don't understand why it took years to get this done and it just wasn't worth the wait imo.

The only thing I can say about this game is that AI needs alot of work on all difficulty. They are too perfect and have jet performance (like youre tuning to the max for no reason) they need to relax on the rubberbanding.I dont mind a good challenge but thats just crazy

Garbage.

Rating 2/10.

If you enjoy tandem drifting and Initial D inspired touge racing, this game has it all. Forget about the campaign and shitty grind and go get WEMOD and join the C4 Lobby. WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU!

really good game!
i can play it with 40 fps with maxed out graphics with my ryzen5 2600 and my 6gb 2070 and the graphics are just kinda awesome!

this game is MASSIVELY cpu based and didnt work at the beginnign (i was able to drive some km but thenit would lag extremely and it would be unplayable with 2 fps but when you do the tutorial everything kinda goes smooth af!)
rlly good game in the short term lol

A waste of time and (in game) money.

This game is a slog to play. The game play loop is unbearably grindy and unsatisfying. The only parts that aren't a grind to get through (the class races) are annoyingly hard and require a maxed out car for that rank with expensive tires to even be competitive on easy. The lack of a rewind mechanic also wastes Your time. One mistake or unlucky moment forces you to restart the race to even have a chance to win. Also your car can stall out and depending on your car's power it can take up to 30 seconds to restart your car.

Unranked races are even worse. They feel like they are meant to be done with top class cars, unless you're fine with abysmal payouts. Free drifts at low rank are unfun and frustrating. The lack of power and the microscopic areas you have to drift in make it plain unfun to do. Not helping is the fact that drift stabilization cannot be fully turned off. Even if you do okay you make little to no money and xp is basically nill.


It takes hours to make any decent money in the game and it disappears quickly. EVERYTHING COSTS MONEY. Whatever you do in game you feel like you're wasting money. You have to pay for gas and tires to be able to drive your car. If you're buying regular gas and the cheapest tires that's at least 3 races of work. If you wanna be competitive though you’ll be paying over 20,000 for gas and tires (more than some cars). Just driving around casually you are wasting money as tires wear out and you burn gas in free roam. Unless you're racing you're wasting money. On top of that selling cars costs you at least 1500 because you can’t sell directly from your storage. You can only sell from the garage app which costs 1500 to access each time. You have to spend money just to enter a mod shop either by wasting gas and tires to drive there, spending money to fast travel there or paying every time you use the mod shop app. Due to the fact that you can only adjust your car settings at a shop, you have to pay multiple times to dial in your car's settings or just deal with it.

This game has the grind of a mobile game despite being a single purchase title. It needs to be massively rebalanced for pc. Until then I can not in good faith recommend it.

Underrated. I don't believe this game deserves "mixed" ratings... anymore at least. The team has clearly put a lot of effort into the map and graphics. Would love to see more cars "rare" cars that you don't see in other racing games like the Toyota Crown wagon and ford falcon series and even some more Holdens... maybe I'm bias because I'm Aussie. Anyway, great game worth your money and time.

Handling is Horrible and The Game full of AI slop

I got the game on sale for my nieces to have a free roam arcade style racing game to use with my sim. The game has a lot of potential but its also got a lot of problems. Its very poorly optimized and no matter what settings or resolution I have the game set to, the fps drops from 60 to 30 constantly on my nieces 6800xt. The cars feel super slow too and 100mph feels like your going 20 in any other game. And you have to constantly use the keyboard for simple stuff because it won't let you enter a race or anything with the wheel.

I don't recommend it right now but if they can at least fix the stuttering, I would.

Holy understeer batman

Every car has the turning radius of a planet, especially anything over 30mph. Worst physics I've ever seen in an arcade racing game, I'd even take NFS Unbound's physics over this. Anyone who has read my review on that game will know how much I hated it, so that speaks for itself. Borderline unplayable.

no Drafting mechanic. it downshifts when using nitro in auto. and No "Drive every road achievement."

... I'm sorry, but if you wanna prominently use characters or even just incidental voice lines, I'd prefer non-AI voicelines. Hell, even just amateur voice acting can be great. Just look at some of the absolute cheese fests of some NFS entries.

Beyond that, the driving felt... I dunno, I cannot put it into the right words, but it just felt wrong... maybe will try it again later.

It's an arcade racing game, no police chases, car handling very arcade like NFS.
Pros :
- Cars have a lot of customization
- World design is beautiful, You can explore urban streets, highways, touge.
- No microtransaction (as far as I've played), and it's not grindy as the mobile version.
- Can adjust traffic density

Cons:
- Worse online server, I'm stuck on "connecting..." when go online
- Poor car physics
- Uncomfortable camera movement.
- Worse AI, still too easy to beat even on Hard difficulty.
- No car license, no any car brands here, everything uses other names like NX5 (mazda mx5), HC6 (Honda civic).
- AI generated voice over, AI Generated images asset, and maybe even the script & sound engine generated by AI?
Games in my opinion, are a combination of various creative human arts from music, visuals, narrative/story, design, voice acting, etc. I don't like AI as art and generative AI is not art.

I know it's an budget indie game ported from mobile.
with these pros & cons, not recommended.

I've played since day one. The performance is terrible. Has always been terrible. One look at a performance overlay will tell you that this game is not pushing your hardware to its fullest. I can turn my graphics settings up all the way or down all the way, very little difference and my graphics card is never at its full 100w when it definitely should be without a doubt. Not bottlenecked by any hardware. They did end up fixing the stutters but other than that the performance has never gotten better. After the latest 1.5.0 update if you move the camera fast in 3rd person the frame-rate plummets.

The Game Still Needs Alot Of Improvement.

The TAA Anti-aliasing literally looks like the screen is coated with vaseline, and other AA are as good as nothing at 1080p ( THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED), and the objects and stickers on car shimmers and waves as you steer the car.
Fps are uper unstable still.
Online mode are shit and empty. Traffic cars are repetitive, No new car design on road.
Car weights are weird, car collision are weird too seems like a toy car the way it jumps.
Weird forceful breaking sound,sounds like my car need service.( Who ever idea was it to put the break noise on every car should get fired).

Game is optimised TERRIBLY. I built the highest end system i could to play Star Citizen (Incredibly demanding game) and this game's micro stutters and overall frame rate is the worst i have ever played. What a waste of money and time trying to fix it to no avail.

Over all really polished game, keep updating and listening to the community and it will lead your dev team too your dreams

Its basically just a port of the mobile game but without the microtransactions. If youre looking for a racing game, just go to forza, it is way better than whatever this is. The third person camera is awful and the movement of the cars just so janky. It adds barely anything that other games dont have. Also the online experience is far from great. Overall, I do not recomend this game at all, if you bought it, get a refund. Also, these devs lack any taste in vehicle modifications, id rather be blind that looks at the poorly customized cars they give you at the beginning.

Absolutely great game, has a more NFS arcade feel to the game which i love. The Car customisation is Awesome. this game in my opinion is better Than TDUSC and The Crew even with the less advanced graphics. CarX the city is vibrant, racing is fun and doesn't feel repetitive like TDUSC. With some more more serious tweaks and developments this game has the potential to be AAA Game like NFS easily and this is coming from someone who has played every nfs game for the last 25 years. props to the devs for continuously working hard and making the game better with each day.

Side Note: Game has undergone many changes since launch imo any bad reviews previously are Null DYOR

One of the worst games i have ever played. The physhics are terrible, it runs like garbage, on a decent pc i can only get 50fps on the lowest settings. Dont waste your money on this game.

most dissapointig piece of trash garbage dogshit game
the camera movement is want you to womit, (i got headace from it)
the difficulty of the game is all over the place, the drift events ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO DO
the optimalization , (u wont be suprised) garbage. i7-13600, 4070, doing 70fps at the lowest graphic (so the game looks like it's folded from card boxes) at 1080p
no story at all, sometimes u got random ai pictures above the oppontent, trying to be "bosses"
devs if u use fucking AI voice lines at least listen to them ONCE before u put it in the game

all of this is after devs moving release date a lot
and they saying: "we've completely reworked in-game balance for the PC version of the game" XDDDDDDDDDD
joke
only buy if discounted to $0.10, it's not worth more

this is a good one. kinda frustrating sometimes, but overall an amazing car game. nfsu/nfsu2 vibes for sure. im actually forking over some cash for the dlc because it really is that good. havent even touched online play yet either.

one of my favorite car games and the price make it even better. drifting for hours on end with randoms in tandem is so much fun

Love it although the drifting could be a bit hard to master also the money is a grindfest

it's far from perfect, there are some annoying issues and "design choices", but it IS good fun.. and it is a decent challenge, especially when it comes to trying to tame the higher spec vehicles... and there are a lot of them at that! each with their own unique quirks.

the vehicle handling model is decent, not sim-levels of realism, but you do need to understand what happens to cars in dips and over crests to keep control.. and while it is able to benefit from a proper 900 degree wheel, it's also just as playable with a keyboard.

all round, it's just good fun, while not being utterly mindless.. as games should be.

everything is money grind grind grind for shit hp cars probly a fun game if you didnt have to spend hours to get a basic fast car just pure crap i stress alot about money in real life whytflip should i have to stress in flippin game

carx drift nailed it played that for loong time this one just isnt fun to much its about getting more money

after more hours of playing the game is great to drive in the but dont buy this game unless you like grinding for piles of seaming poo havent found a car over a 1000hp
how can it be a street game with no fast cars
