Pro Realistic sound design
Hearing rocks ping the chassis as you race or the frame whine with rough landscapes makes for a real life racing experience that matches what it actually sounds like when racing this type of terrain.
Pro Focused on Demolition Derby
Often an overlooked genre similar games have not been released since earlier Flatout titles( of which the devs are the same as this title), so this thing really stands out from the crowd.
Pro Excellent car damage
Soft-body car damage physics system with fully deformable car damage, meaning that the cars will react to damage in a very tangible, convincing way.
Cons
Con Still in Early Access
Bugs can be found and not everything is finished. Game is in playable state though.
