Project CARS 3 Reviews
A numbered entry on a series that feels like a spin off. Not a simulator, not an arcade and hard to recommend when there are plenty of other games that do much, much better what PC3 tries to do.

This racing is much different as previous games in Project Cars series. Disappointment for loayal fans.

In the end, I will always judge a game based on the amount of fun I had with it, and I can say that Project Cars 3 delivered nicely on that front.
Project CARS 3 leaves mixed impressions. It can please fans with a nice process of driving, but it's difficult to recommend it to beginners because of the monotonicity factor in the career mode. Slightly Mad Studios still have a lot of work ahead to solve technical flaws and provide further support to the game, if they still want to win new players' attention.

Project Cars 3, at least on the base console versions, isn’t quite the polished sequel we were hoping for, but despite its foibles – and there are many – it’s entertaining. The racing can be fun, finding that niche of being accessible and competitive.
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 suffers from a bit of an identity crisis in what it brings to the player, blending racing sim gameplay and arcade racer mechanics.
Project Cars 3 is going to annoy some people and I completely understand why. This is a huge deviation from the series that people are aware of, it honestly is like the series has lost its identity. However, this doesn't mean it's a bad game. An undeniably less sim-like experience, this is infinitely more accessible than earlier Project Cars titles and it doesn't completely drop the elements that made the series great, featuring a massive number of cars and tracks with a huge amount of customisation and detail throughout. It isn't without flaws, such as the first third of the campaign, but the pros far outweigh the cons and this is, simply, a very fun game.
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.

Overall, Project CARS 3 is a fun racer, even if it isn’t accelerating at full speed when it comes to quality and ambition.
Project CARS 3 is easy to pick up and play but impossible to recommend to Project CARS 2 fans.
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 marks a significant departure for the series, abandoning most of its sim heritage in favour of arcade racing. Offering a variety of different cars and tracks, there's plenty of content on offer, making for a fun distraction, but it lacks the excitement we expect from wheel-to-wheel racing. It takes inspiration from all over the place, but it's perhaps most closely aligned with Sony's own DriveClub. It would seem, then, that the PS4 cycle is ending the way it began. We're just not sure we'd pick this over what's come before.
For a car or racing enthusiast, Project Cars 3 has a lot to offer.
It’s an enticing racer that surely will exhilarate and fulfil the empty void that the XBOX exclusive leaves this year with the Series X on the precipice. However, with a positive outlook and an appreciative experience being had with PC3, we’re sure to see Project CARS 4 racing over the hills, and making its way towards pole position.
In a lot of ways Project CARS 3 is reminiscent of the Forza Horizon series, though executed without any of the flair or fun that made the latter enjoyable. If you’re a racing fan, be it arcade or simulation, I recommend you avoid this game – it’s a thoroughly unenjoyable experience from a once great series.
There’s a more than decent racing game thrumming underneath this hood
Project Cars 3 doesn’t revolutionize racing, but delivers enjoyable simcade-action for everyone. Who felt that Project Cars 2 was too tough or overwhelming will find himself a new home here.

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.
Project Cars 3 is a great way to get into sim racing for newcomers thanks to its overtly gamey career mode, but the move into proper 'simcade' territory feels odd and unfulfilling.
