Early Access Review
This is a long one, so bear with me.

I played this game on a friend's account, and it awakened the gamer inside me who had been sleeping for quite some time.

I haven't played a game that has kept me entertained as much as this EARLY ACCESS title. I finished it 100% in approximately 50-60 hours of gameplay. It was a lot of grind for the wonderers that required different cars to battle.
The sense of progression is immense. I mean, going through the rivals and struggling to beat them is so rewarding when you finally do. The perk system feels balanced, and for an EARLY ACCESS game, you have to keep in mind that you can't unlock every perk.
I swore I wouldn't buy Early Access again after the FH5 launch, but I think this can be an exception.

Important
I had this game open for 12-20 hours at a time, and it didn't crash ONCE. (I let it drive on autopilot when afk)
And personally I didn't get any bugs during my gameplay, I also didn't look or try to find/force them, but I keep seeing them as fixed in the updates so the devs are working hard.

Map
It feels big, is detailed, and you can squeeze between two cars driving on different lanes if you are careful enough :) . You have to loop through it twice, once in each direction, to unlock all the Entry Ramps and Parking Areas for easier accessibility to rivals.

Graphics
The graphics are gorgeous, and I played on two PCs. On my Ryzen 5700H laptop with the iGPU, I played on "Low" with 60-65% resolution scaling from 1080p and FXAA. On my GTX 1070 PC, it gave the system a run for its money on the "Ultra" preset, so I stuck with the "Medium" with a few "High" settings with 100% scaling and FXAA (~75 FPS).

Handling
It is easy to pick up on a controller, and the car doesn't slide as much as TXR3 (provided that your tires are healthy). I think the arcade handling would feel good on a keyboard as well, but I didn't try it too much.

Sound and Music
The cars make engine noises not exactly as in real life, but it didn't bother me since the car went vroom, and when there was a turbo mounted, the car sneezed and whistled.
The music is awesome, with some of the tracks being remixes from the older games or old tracks in higher quality. That caught me off guard, and especially at the final boss of chapter 2.

Tips
I would suggest unlocking the following types of perks: Cars, Garage Size Increases, Wallet Size Increases, and Long Run 60% Bonus, and the ones that give you more money when selling Cars (80% of value is max I believe).
You can get "passive money" from the Long Run bonus using the autopilot (1,100,000 CP in about 98 minutes or 1,700,000 CP with the 60% bonus perk). Keep in mind that you have to go to the garage after 98 minutes to start receiving the bonus again.
As for tires, I used Hard for the majority of races, but Soft for bosses is a nice change.
Also, I think that a good way to keep more money than the wallet is to buy expensive cars to sell when the full game comes out, with the perk that gives you 80% of the money back.

Inconveniences
A slight inconvenience is the fact that the physics are tied to the FPS, but the game is so optimized that I didn't struggle to hit 60 FPS while keeping it looking decent, so it's a pass from me. It's like, slow motion bellow 60FPS but up to 180 I didn't feel any difference.

Other (maybe in the full game)
I would LOVE to see split-screen multiplayer so that I could play in person or via Steam Remote Play with friends. I also think a Quick Race option would be nice—to get a feel for the cars and maybe customize them without having to finish the career.
Additionally, an online mode with private lobbies (not ranked) to race with friends against the rivals would be great—like the races where you have to beat two rivals back to back. Preferably, this mode should be hosted on the lobby host’s PC so that the servers couldn't be shut down.
And on a side note, I would also love a Soundtrack Pack to buy and download all the OSTs as mp3 and/or flacs, and it would bring the devs a bit more funding for this amazing game.

I look forward to the full release of this game, and I can already see myself putting hundreds of hours into it.

Un melc urcă spre vârful unui copac înalt de 16 metri. În fiecare zi însorită urcă 3 metri, iar în fiecare zi ploioasă alunecă înapoi un metru. După 8 zile ajunge în vârf.
a) Câte zile au fost însorite?
b) ♥♥♥ a fost a opta zi?
