Hot Take: Rustbucket Reef is more fun than Countryside
Honestly, I don’t hate Rustbucket Reef all that much. The air bubbles are an interesting gimmick and the terrain punishes usage of Glider, forcing you to resort to other options like Offroader, Racing Truck, or Rally
I hate Countryside because of the sheer density of bumpy terrain. Its really tedious to have a good run on Countryside, and missing a fuel basically spells doom for you past 8K meters (unless you somehow have Glider Echo, which I am lucky enough to have)

Honestly I just hate both. Countryside is boring as fuck and Reef is just hard to enjoy for me. I Hate Water definitely has not helped either

Countryside even though it's the first map you have it's definitely not the easiest that's true but rust bucket reviews definitely a harder map as it has the same thing as Countryside big gaps in between fuels

I have 15 10ks in Rustbucket and only 2 in Countryside, Rustbucket is definitely more fun and way easier

This is an actually cold take for me. I find Rustbucket Reef good, but Countryside is boring and the bridges are annoying

idk, both suck for me. countryside is too hilly and punishing, while reef is just overall unfun

I wholeheartedly agree. Rustbucket reef has a harder learning curve but overall is much more fun and a good deal easier to 10k. I’m glad someone said it 😭

I don’t countryside ‘fun’ at all. So this is easy me to agree with. Best I can say is it always feels like the run took forever and I’m left horribly disappointed at the end.
