### 3/5 — Game is not the same

*2026-08-31, version 32.30.02*

Loved this game, great mechanics, loved cars and races until developers killed it. Now you don’t have to race, as any other game you can just buy out your win. Legendary cars which we had a goal to achieve as players, something to compete for is now gone, just buy it, 5 legendaries for 300$, no reason to play anymore.

### 2/5 — Too many competitions require cash to enter

*2026-08-28, version 32.30.02*

Sorry guys, I’m enjoying the game BUT it has become common that “Challenges” in particular now require qualification via spending (real) money to buy high level cars, otherwise unobtainable, to enter….[ See “Missing Qualifications” ].
As someone without unlimited “discretionary income “ I am finding far to many events that I cannot enter, or would not have a hope of scoring in, which limits enjoyment.
Meanwhile, upgrading my high level, [ S, A, B] cars requires the sacrifice of those of my “garage” that have taken ages to collect in the “Fusing” process ! Why can’t we bypass the Fuse with accumulated resources such as the Gold or Game Cash to build a collection worthy of the games many of the Events/Challenges that are currently being offered?
Please note Mr. Hutch, open the door to those “Exotics” to the many among us that have no ability to participate in “buying success “ with real cash , but still play your game and paying by being forced to endure the advertising revenue YOU surely benefit from !
Yours Sincerely “ A frustrated racer”.

### 4/5 — 27

*2026-08-26, version 32.30.00*

Good fun game but could get boring if you grind

### 4/5 — Top drives

*2026-08-26, version 32.30.00*

5 stars if you could race your own cars

### 3/5 — Донатная помойка

*2026-08-25, version 32.30.00*

Без доната ловить нечего, после обновлений даже на самом последнем айфоне (про) не заходит и вылетает

### 2/5 — so downhill

*2026-08-20, version 32.20.00*

game used to be genuinely fun 2018-2021 when you used to be able to win packs and events regularly without having to purchase their specialized event packs. i understand it adds more dynamic to the multiplayer and makes it a bit more competitive but at the same time if you don’t keep up with the events full time then you can’t win anything. as a casual f2p player it was much better when you could get on once a day, play an event, and get on the next day and know you would at least get one pack.

### 2/5 — Disappointing and expensive.

*2026-08-19, version 32.20.00*

The game is pay to play if you want to actually be competitive or you have to live on the app 24/7 so let’s get that out of the way. 

More concerning is often you watch commercials for rewards but will not receive said award and have to watch another commercial again. This feels intentionally predatory. Especially since often the ads they show freeze the app forcing you to have to close it and not receive any reward but the option to click the reward is gone. 🤷🏿🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏿‍♂️ WTF

What really disappoints me aside from it being pay for play is that I have never played a game where you grind to be number one during pvp. Just for the event to end and be rewarded for second or third place. They have some mumbo jumbo BS as to why you can be in first place and not win first place. 

It’s a money grab. Is it entertaining? Yes, until you hit the wall early, empty your wallet or make it a 9 to 5. Just to still lose when you have more points than everyone else. 

My advice and review. Play sparingly knowing you will not ever be competitive. Do not waste your money just buy Crew or Forza, he’ll Asphault 8 is free to play. The amount of money you can spend buying packs to lose just doesn’t make financial or mental sense. 

This is my experience keep in mind. Others will have different and more positive experiences. That is fine and both experiences are valid.  

So enjoy at your own discretion. It just starts to feel predatory after a few weeks or months of game play, investment and losses. Just for them to tell you they often will have people win leaderboards but still lose. Sorry but you can spin BS how you want but that will never make any sense. Add more diverse pvp challenges or fix your leader boards to actually reflect where players are. But don’t tell me it makes sense to sit a top a leader board for days just to get third place still having more points than everyone else when you can simply fix leader boards to be accurate. It’s lazy and it’s not clear without having to dig on hutch website faq to find out why you lose having won. 

Heed the warning.

### 2/5 — Great Game, Terrible Service

*2026-08-13, version 32.20.00*

it greatly saddens me to have to give this game a two star rating, because I have played it for almost 3 1/2 years and it is my favorite mobile game. Unfortunately, I can no longer ignore the fact that the developers do not have any support whatsoever for this game. I have had technical issues for going on six months. They have known an identified fixes, but I can’t get anyone through their Help menu to contact me back or assist. The game itself is amazing, but the technical problems and absolute inability to get Support result in the two star rating.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2026-08-11, version 32.20.00*

Packs are way too expensive and you can only buy them with gold and it’s way too much gold to get premium stuff. It’s too paid to win. and your cars get beat even though they out ranked the other car and every stat there’s times where they can’t even tell you how your car lost.

### 4/5 — Overpriced slots..

*2026-08-10, version 32.20.00*

Even though this game is very well made, the slots and car packs are way to overpriced. The events that commonly happen also have very weird types of cars that are usually annoying to get. I would like to see drag racing cars added to the game along with some different kinds of rally cars. Overall, needs some small changes.

### 3/5 — Pay to play. Still loose.

*2026-08-09, version 32.20.00*

Played for 81 days now consider my account very good but $500+ no luck. Very dry and repetitive game needs a better campaign and make event newer player friendly poured tons into these events and still can’t get in the top 200 out of 500. Good game though but realistically you will struggle unless you pay. No adds though. Would be 5 stars if it was easier for newer players and less pay to play and easier to progress. Game goes from - short campaign to a very long pain.

### 3/5 — Very good but could be better

*2026-08-06, version 32.20.00*

I really like the game, but the issue is sometimes for some reason cars that are yours get removed for no reason. And you can’t get them back. If that didn’t happen then this game would probably one of the best race strategy games out there.

### 1/5 — Too much going on

*2026-09-03, version 32.30.02*

Not my type of thing, just too many things to collect, earn, modes… Reminds me of Real Racing, should be an entire hobby on its own.

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2026-09-03, version 32.30.02*

Wont load into the game stuck on loading page every time

### 1/5 — Bad game

*2026-08-30, version 32.30.02*

I don’t like this game at all you can’t drive the cars

### 1/5 — Money hungry

*2026-08-24, version 32.20.00*

Seriously. I understand challenges are ment to be difficult. Perhaps push you deep into fusing more cars than you think. But with many years playing with a specialised DE garage and barely able to beat the only one of the seven (DE) World Series challenge? without paying thousands with real currency? Disappointing. I can’t believe in the past I put money into this.

### 1/5 — Stop asking for money!!

*2026-08-21, version 32.20.00*

Can we stop with all the pop up ads just to sell some packages?! I don’t want any of them, and I’m not paying £89.99 for a pack of cars, that are being presented as a little box on a race track. What’s the point?!

### 1/5 — Пидары

*2026-08-17, version 32.20.00*

Жадные до безумия убоюдки

### 1/5 — Game-breaking bugs and zero support

*2026-08-13, version 32.20.00*

A bug completely froze my progress early on, making the game unplayable. Redownloading didn't fix it, and customer support never responds. The worst part is that your account is tied to your device, so you can't even make a new ID to start over. Unless you buy a whole new phone, you are permanently stuck. Don't waste your time.

### 1/5 — Confusing and not fun

*2026-08-07, version 32.20.00*

Just like the title says the game is confusing and just not that fun especially when you redownload

### 1/5 — Predatory FOMO System

*2026-08-06, version 32.20.00*

Only writing a review because the "please give us a review" keeps popping up + this game has one of the worst fomo systems ive experienced and horrible card pack system with no guarantee after x amount of packs opened. PURE GREED

### 1/5 — I REGRETED BUYING THIS GAME

*2026-07-26, version 32.10.00*

I first downloaded the game and I got rejected in game I had 5g internet and signal and kicks me out what games have this function these days !?
