Assetto Corsa Competizione Reviews
Assetto Corsa Competizione dons a next-gen suit and becomes the best console version of itself. There are some minor flaws here and there, but those who want pure simulation can finally try their hand at a monster of authenticity, now more beautiful than ever.

The game is mostly aimed for those who have a very powerful PC. They will undoubtedly enjoy one of the best titles ever in this category.

Once it gets into gear, Assetto Corsa Competizione turns into an enjoyable enough driving experience, with some often frustrating quirks. Every move, pass, and failure made is analysed, scored, and presented back with a grade at such a granular level you'll be left scratching your head at how you ever passed your driving test in the first place. However, the unstable framerate, janky animations, erratic camera modes, and lack of other in-game tracks and vehicles without paying more for the DLC, means that this is one for racing sim aficionados only.
Asseto Corsa Competizione is very well made racing simulator, which will please all the fans. On the other hand, casual players could be easily bored with lack of game content and bad optimalization on consoles. If you love endurance races, driving in the nigt and if you are able to appreciate dynamic wether systems and great feeling from driving the GT3 cars, Asseto Corsa Competizione is just for you.

The underpinnings of a great racing sim are here, but for Assetto Corsa to branch out and hit that next level, it needs more next time. They have a physics engine that feels good, even if it’s too temperamental with a gamepad. The cars and the environments are stunning to look at, even if it’s not the best you’ll find on a PS4. It can even be fun to play, but with how dry the game feels, there isn’t any incentive for those other than your hardcore endurance sim fan to continue racing.
As a whole, the overall presentation is a major let-down to what is otherwise a rather sharp and strong racing game.
Assetto Corsa Competizione has built what could be a great foundation for pure racing simulation with excellent AI behavior and authentic audio, but if you don't have a steering wheel to use, you're probably not going to enjoy it as much.
Sim racing fans clamored for years for a serious console racing sim. They have finally had their wish granted. Assetto Corsa Competizione instantly becomes the premiere realistic console racing simulation game despite the hardware limitations of the current-gen. That doesn’t make it the best console racer, just the most realistic. [OpenCritic note: Lou Sytsma separately reviewed the PC (70) and PS4 (80) versions. The scores have been averaged.]
If you are looking for the most realistic driving experience on a console and can feel gasoline running through your veins, this game was made for you. But if the sheer amount of options and the level of seriousness of Assetto Corsa Competizione scares you, steer clear of it.
Assetto Corsa Competizione offers excellent realism as rarely seen, although its exaggerated difficulty and high demands make it unsuitable for the most casual player and a bad choice for starting out in this genre. More content for singleplayer and a more polished performance to achieve at least a stable 30fps is missing, but it is still recommended if we are willing to invest a lot of time in it.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is a superb and very fun simulator, perfect on its relatively limited scope, but a far from perfect console port hurts the end result.

I get that esports and simulations are popular at the moment but this is one game that probably did not need to cross from PC to console.
All of this puts me in a difficult spot with Assetto Corsa Competizione. On the one hand, it’s my favourite racing experience, hands down. It just handles beautifully. On the other hand, from features to gameplay modes and with regards to almost everything that doesn’t specifically involve racing, Competizione is substantially behind its peers, making this a racing experience that only the most hardcore of hardcore racing fans will get much out of.
ACC is a game you must play if you are a fan of motorsport. Compete, fairly against the CARS Project. And it offers within its own type of competitions, GT World Challenge, a complete experience. It is certainly not a game for casuals, nor for arcade fans. It is a pure and simple sim, and that means that it is not a game that you can learn without further ado. Among its shortcomings is mainly the fact of not going at 60 fps, which makes the way the environment looks less fluid. But it is an entirely enjoyable game, difficult, sometimes too much, from which I would expect some update to improve its command.

Without any doubt, Assetto Corsa Competizione has a long way ahead to reach the quality of the icons of Racing Simulation Genre but in some aspects like car physics and sound design it's phenomenal. Overall it's an unbalanced package with many lows and a few highs.

When the stars align, racing in Assetto Corsa Competizione is absolutely fantastic. It is, however, marred by some questionable omissions in its configurable options, issues with some of the most popular wheels and pedals on the market, and public lobbies that aren't currently available to all regions. It can, and should, be better.
Assetto Corsa Competizione is also nice to play on consoles. Net of some inevitable compromises, the work done by the development team to keep the physics engine of the game unchanged on PS4 and Xbox One is really incredible.

Assetto Corsa Competizione is a must have for any car simulation fan. He breathes passion and realism. However, if it does not reach excellence at the time of this review, it is simply because it presents too many bugs. You will play it, sooner or later...

Asseto Corsa Competizione console version is probably one of the best simulator racing games you can have on your PS4 or Xbox One. Though there are some minor issues with controls and animations, the overall experience is something that no racing fan should miss. It's a hard game, but if you're into it, it pays off really well.
