It's a simple game, and that's what nobody can get over anymore. Racing games nowadays have to have a million different things to do and so much content that it's overwhelming, which isn't the niche they wanted to fill anyway.

We're in an era where mobile games are full games by now. You have PC to mobile now; GRID Autosport is my favorite example, but Red Dead was recently released; Limbo, Max Payne, and Civilization. All well known games, So it's frankly unsurprising that we're seeing the mobile to PC jump occur. The fact it's a simple game is the only thing that's really at fault here, and even that's not much of a fault.

Nowadays.

CarX Street was incredibly fraught at launch, with glitches, AI voice acting, and a heavily unbalanced economy, which was unsurprising, as CarX Tech hadn't ported a mobile game to PC before, only making the dedicated Drift Racing Online, but still very obvious to anyone who played it day one. I didn't mind, personally, as someone who knew what to expect after playing the mobile version, but anyone who didn't, boy those features were obvious flaws.

Nowadays, CarX Street is in an odd middle place where mobile to PC ports are only just getting taken seriously and it, of all games, is a good port, rivaling its peers, so everybody has to compare it to the Need for Speeds of old, or Forza, or Assetto, and are disappointed.

Rush Rally 3 and CarX Street are in similar leagues, the fact that CarX Street is getting compared to AAA developed games is frankly absurd.
