Early Access Review
Hands down one of the best games I've ever purchased. Gifted it to a few mates pretty soon after buying it in December.

You don't start off with much, and you need to put in the work to get your maple syrup business up and running, farming potatoes and selling bags of chips, and growing a sh*t ton of the devil's lettuce. After spending the time and money to upgrade these income streams, while doing all sorts of stuff (watering crops, delivering pizzas, winning street races and all sorts of other things), you finally are ready to build your car up. Not a piece here or there, or a small upgrade, I mean a full build:

Swaybars, coilovers. bumpers, hoods, calipers, spacers, ECUs, differentials, exhausts, wheels, seats, steering wheels, underglow, engines and a ton more. The amount of love put into these options really shines through.

After grafting to get all the items you need, buying them all, taking the time to build it (down to colour-matching bolts), and finally having a build to be proud of has to be one of the most rewarding things I have ever done in a video game, and I've been playing games for 25 years.

There are also lots of small details in the game. Anxious? Smoke a spliff, pet a dog, play video games, or drive really fast. Hungry? Reap the potatoes you were growing out back, and cook them in the chip fryer, or drive to the take-away place to stock up on poutine, and maybe run some deliveries while you are there so you have some gas money. Maybe pick up maple syrup at the gas station, or make your own at home. See a phone number? Phone it when you get home and figure out what it's for.

I could wax lyrical about this game for ages, but if you're looking for something to sink hours into, and escape into a whole other world, and love cars, this is what you're looking for. Recommended x100000000 over.

P.S. It looks miles better on an HDR screen, but those goes for most games.
