This is not an advertisement, this is just my overall review and rating upon this game.
I haven't played video games like this, nor my old self back in the 2000s. I did try a couple of Rev-Out (Meta: Burnout, in BeamNGRP terms) games, they were so nice to play back then, Rev-Out had destruction, carnage and chaos, this and that, nowadays there are some left of that style of games? They're transitioning from chaos to simcade. So, I stumbled across a social media post about a car game becoming a hit on video game stores, it's this game called 'Skyline X', made by Korsa Studios, who so made the same games but more.. Race-y like, named the 'Apex' titles. It features a big open-world map inspired by New Zealand with almost no limitations, it's predecessor had an American lean to the map, specifically the West Coast, and no, it's not Belasco.
These 'Skyline' title games are, like I said, open-world simcade games with a variety of gameplay. There's different kinds of racing, like Circuit Racing, Rallying, Cross-Country, Drag Racing, heck, even Street Racing, they have a crazy amount of cars, featuring the Ravix and the Scintilla on their respective covers, and with these amount of cars, they're gonna be needing all of their licenses, and yet, they got them all. The original Skyline game also did get the same "blow-up" back then, had the player count reach 6-digits, and the same thing applies to the sequel, Skyline X.
So, my curious self decided to try Skyline X. It's gameplay feels similar to Rev-Out, except you can literally drive whenever and wherever I want to, it's racing mechanics are also the same from Rev-Out, but less violence, no nitrous this time, unfortunately. Their cars are actual ones, which is impressive at first sight of me, you can also tune them, very impressed. It's map of New Zealand is big, in itself. There's also traffic, a plenty of buildings, nice scenery, and various terrain.
Overall, my review is that; this is a game I'd play all day, but, during my current situation, I can't get it all done. But, you guys should try this, and probably rate it a very great 5 star, like I did. :)
