    Better than iracing for sure, but don't expect to have fun with this product. It's a strange experience. Good physics, but the content varies so much. OK tracks - bad tracks, OK cars - bad cars. Somehow it prevents you from having fun with it. Looks boring too. A cumbersome physics lab perhaps, but not a great game. UI is ... it's cumbersome or goofy. Not entertaining, not a bit.

    I really want to love this title, but I just can't. The driving is absolutely incredible, but it is such a pain to set up, and if you don't get DLC (which is pretty expensive), there is not a lot to offer. This game could have been the definitive racing sim if it had the modding capabilities of the original rfactor, but unfortunately for rfactor 2 that game was Assetto Corsa.

The only saving grace of this game is the driving. If the driving was average like Dirt Rally 2.0 or RaceRoom, I would give it a 2 or maybe a 1 because there would be no reason for the game to exist.

    Its wide range of customization and endless flow of content make this a must for any petrol heads out there racing has never felt this realistic.

    It’s an old game, that arrived on Steam lately and whose community has shrunk quite a lot. Still, even with its technical shortcomings and age, it remains one of the best driving simulators out there.

    rFactor2's innovative physics and ambitious new weather and track dynamics may keep serious sim racers like myself logging seat time, but that goodwill will dissipate quickly if some of these more glaring deficiencies aren't dealt with quickly. ISI's track record at this kind of stuff is solid, though, so I'm hopeful we'll see a good sim develop into a great one over the next year or two.
