Early Access Review
Basically a modern version of TXR (in a good way) with gameplay elements from the PS2 games you know and love.

The gameplay itself is pretty simple but addictive!
You start with a car and battle against other rivals, if you win you get some credits to spent on your car, while your racing through the highway you can unlock routes and parkhouses.

There are some stuff that I'd like to see in the future updates:

- Improving Skilltree
There's a resource called "BP" and BP can be spent to unlock upgrades, cars, perks or skills.
The System itself is not a bad idea but needs some improvement. In the mid-game there are so many things locked or capped, even most of the cars are locked.
Please... can I at least unlock a Mitsubishi when I challenge Cinderella Past Midnight?
Its also possibile that you soft lock yourself in the early phase of the game, the resource BP is limited and the only way to get them is to defeat your rivals. So becareful, spent on upgrades first to prevent it.

(I think the cap is made out of purpose to make the endgame more grindy and to make sure you can use this in the future content. There is also a Wanderer who can be challenged if you have 77.777,777 credits)

- Photomode
The game looks beautiful, the cars are detailed and i was busy in the garage to make my best shot for my car, it would be great if a photomode could give us the option to make a photo from the actually ingame experience.

- Custom music
The music is great but too repetitive after playing over and over, most of the tracks are remixes from the early TXR games and all well done crafted and the idea to have custom music mixed with the original ost would make this crazy.

- Steam Cloud Support
Currently playing on PC but i would like to play this on Steam Deck too without losing my progress.

This game has the soul from a PS2 game, transferred it in a modern experience, it runs great and runs even on low-end hardware, its not normal in the currenty era that a game is so well optimized.

Genki, you nailed it!
