Critic Reviews for Project Motor Racing
I am genuinely bummed about the state Project Motor Racing is landing in. Where the core gameplay, i.e. the driving itself and a sizeable collection of iconic cars, is well crafted, the clunky AI and damage model, along with really poor optimisation, get in the way of enjoying the game as much as possible.

What was an opportunity to standout in an ever-growing field of sim racing competitors has sadly fallen by the wayside. There’s still a chance for Project Motor Racing to shine though, and success will hinge on just how good the online multiplayer ends up being.
Project Motor Racing is a title that takes a stand, and it does so without compromise. It doesn't aim to please everyone, it doesn't want to be yet another flashy racing game that confuses realism with visual spectacle, and it doesn't intend to hand out easy wins or deliver a career that passes by without leaving any mark.

Unfortunately, Project Motor Racing doesn't deliver the expected quality and can't truly compete with Gran Turismo 7, Assetto Corsa, or other simulators on the market. While it doesn't play badly, some of its features are beyond my comprehension. The AI, which runs like it's on rails, is the biggest drawback, but it also lacks more content, a more extensive career, or better graphics on consoles. Although there are no frame drops, we feel a certain dissatisfaction. It's clear the developers still need many updates to get it all right.

Project Motor Racing is a demanding yet rewarding racing simulator that offers ultra-realistic depth for dedicated sim fans, while proving too unforgiving and inconsistent in realism for casual players.

Project Motor Racing is an ambitious sim that occasionally delivers the kind of immersive experience it promises — but those moments are surrounded by technical issues, thin content, and missing features.
Straight4 Studios has a game that’s been cooked properly to temperature, but it lacks flavor. Project Motor Racing boasts an impressive roster of cars and tracks, but no real personality to bring it all together. It’s not very welcoming, but if you put in the work, it can be rewarding. The best thing about the game is its career mode, where clawing your way up the ranks makes each victory feel earned. Project Motor Racing is a rookie in the space, but this is a solid entry that those looking for a game geared towards realism and simulation will find plenty of that here, but not much else.
The career mode is deep and enjoyable, but as previously mentioned, you can’t just race with ease, as there’s a lot of depth involved. So you’re going to play and enjoy Project Motor Racing if you’re looking for something pretty specific: a worthy competitor to physics-heavy racing simulators like Assetto Corsa. I just wish it had more day-one cars, but that’s the collecting obsessed in me talking.
