Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“The creation of this game did not really result in any new intellectual property. I had hoped that the simplified interface would create room for interesting game play but it is basically a poor replica of Motorsport Manager or F1 Manager.”
“Too simulationist. You pick a bad team, you get stuck with a bad team for ages. Not a fan of the progression curve (too slow to rise over other teams), which feels that skill is irrelevant and the random crashes feel super bad.”
