And that's why I personally refunded it. Trying to play this with an Xbox controller is an exercise in frustration, because the AI opponents are robotically consistent in taking perfect lines even on the second-to-easiest difficulty, and after half an hour of retrying the medium difficulty I gave up. On second-to-easiest, their lines were still basically perfect, but their top speed is heavily sandbagged compared to yours which just feels patronizing.

I'm no stranger to top-down racers; I've 100%'d quite a few. This game is brutally unforgiving. Your tires wear down, so they won't corner as well on the fifth lap as they did on the first. The degree to which you turn your wheels needs to be very precise, more precise than you can be with a joystick, and you need to very carefully watch your speed which makes the lack of an obvious visual indicator questionable.

Is it a good game? Yes! If you have the right setup for it. I don't.
