Project CARS 3 may be the best entry game for beginners. The easiness in embracing new players left the game with a more arcade or semi-simulator style. Hardcore players need to dig deeper to get the simulation experience from previous games, but it's still possible to find it. It won't be a perfect title anywhere, but the reimagining career mode and creating a good online environment can provide fun for anyone interested in the game.

This new entry with Project Cars has given the series an identity crisis, and where the developers could have taken their existing learning and delivered the previous Project Cars vision to an all-new degree, instead we've got the team effectively starting from scratch again.
Project CARS 3 isn’t a bad game, it’s just too much of a change from the type of game fans have come to expect from the series.
Ultimately, I feel the greatest mistake that Project CARS 3 makes is being called what it is. Fans of the previous two games probably won’t find what they expect here, while those who disliked them could possibly be put off by the name. This is essentially a paradigm shift for the series, taking it into new territory with mass-market appeal.
Project Cars 3 is a great racing title that is sure to satisfy people who are ready to hop in, grind some races, and customize their own experience.
Project Cars 3 is a welcome surprise: thanks to a solid and well-made technical apparatus, the title moves away from its historical simulation characterization to take a path capable of offering the player a lighter and simpler atmosphere, resulting a genuinely fun game that youngs and olds will enjoy, both longtime fans and enthusiasts of the genre, and newbies who are for the first time on a track. The engines have been hot for a while, getting on board and giving gas is now almost a duty.

Project Cars is a complete 180° turn on what made the series a fan favourite, this is more of an arcade racer. There´s still some quality here that might be more accesible. But problems with the online doesn’t help it’s case.

Project CARS 3 blurs the line between simulation and arcade, leaning heavily towards the arcade side. While this 'identity crisis' may disappoint some hardcore fans, the whole experience remains fun.

If you loved the first two Project Cars installments, you'll ve dissapointed. On the contrary, if you're looking for something new in the Forza Motorsport/ Gran Turismo style and you liked GRID and maybe crave a long career with lots of content, you've found your game. Project Cars 3 isn't a bad title. It just lost its identity, aiming to please larger number of players. However, it still offers a great number of content and a decent racing experience, even though it's a bit more arcade-ish.

A little extra time in development and more inventive ideas would've done this disappointing third installment in a beloved racing series well, but all it did was rehash previous ideas, significantly dumb down many aspects that made its predecessors so exciting, and mash together an incoherent mess of a sim racer that was clearly out for money above a good time.
If you’re looking for a racing game to tide you over between now and the next Forza, then Project Cars 3 is absolutely worth the effort.
The lack of polish in the base consoles, the new direction and the linearity of the most content makes Project CARS 3 a disapointment to the fans of the series.

Project Cars 3 is one of the best racers out this year!
While questionable decisions have been made, fans of the franchise will either have to adjust and get used to the brand-new direction or simply stave off purchasing Project Cars 3 altogether. While it does some things right, there are many things it does badly. The biggest issue lies in how Project Cars 3 wants to deviate into a wholly new direction. It wants to take the hardcore simulation with its niche audience into a new arcade racer direction where many more players will jump onto the bandwagon. This is a commendable change. However, Slightly Mad Studios should have taken its fans into account with this decision. If Project Cars 3 had any other name — perhaps denoted with a subtitle — it would have been a much easier transition. Alas, it is not, and this is the card supporters have been dealt. Thankfully, the game does come onto its own in higher tier races. It also features a massive selection of vehicles and races feel good, as long as simulation-levels of play are not expected. While AI needs a lot of work, it does fare better when higher speed divisions come into play. Project Cars 3 is the first step in reimagining the franchise as an arcade racer, however, fans of simulation titles are better off with Project Cars 2.
Project Cars 3 is a title that inherits all the good things of its predecessors, thus not betraying the fan base that buys it - and loves it - precisely for its more simulative side. The addition of some help to facilitate new players should not be misleading: they are aimed only at the newest ones, or who in any case prefer a much less demanding level of challenge.

We are cautious for the evolution of the game through the next titles, as we do not even know what to expect from a series that started differently and seems to be headed a different way.

Project CARS 3 was ambitious in trying to make such a great style transition, but it took a much bigger step than the leg. In addition to disappointing its long-standing fan base, it does not present itself as a good option for those who are looking for their first racing game.

We are certainly not talking about a full-fledged simulator but Project Cars 3 will be able to make you spend good hours of play in complete fun. A title that deserves a chance despite some technical problems that can be resolved with future updates.

Unfortunately, the elation didn’t last very long and my first actual race was much more disappointing. I think I placed in the last position, but it was hard to tell as there seemed to be an endless stream over cars over-taking me at every corner so I have no idea how many were actually in the race. I didn’t even get a chance to check where on the HUD it gave you your position because I was concentrating so much on getting around each corner without just smashing my number plate into the barriers – even on the first track there were a LOT of corners. They could’ve given me a basic oval track to practice on for a while first!
