    The game was half-baked upon "release", but since then Kunos have invested a crazy amount of work in it, to the point where it's currently the best GT3 experience simracing has to offer.

    This is the state-of-the-art PC based motorsport simulation in terms of driving fidelity.

    If you ever watched a GT race (with on-boards), listened to the race commentaries and drivers interviews, you'll find yourself familiar with the subject after "driving" a fair amount of hours with the simulation. I am talking about driving constantly on the edge, with laptimes comparable to the real ones.
    Racecar setup knowledge is a must if you want to shave off those tenths from your personal best or to adapt to the track dconditions altering tyres pressures and angles.

    If you hope to jump in the cockpit of the one car you deem looking the coolest and immediately start sliding across the track exchanging door paint with your opponents, you're set onto a painful and excruciating path. Being fast is no joke, and takes skills, concentration and practice practice practice.

    During the race you'll find yourself managing the tyres in order to keep your laptimes consistent.
    Too aggressive with less than optimal track conditions? you get graining on the front.
    Greedy traction control setting and hasty exiting corners? hot rears and eventual blistering.
    Too optimistic on that bumpy kerb or corner cut? high risk of losing tyre pressure.

    There are many other things that can go wrong. At first, the time loss is insignificant, but these events will sum up and you'll be forced to slow down at best. One hesitation, one mistake and you spin, flatspot your tyres..

    This should give an idea of the accuracy of the simulation.

    Unfortunately, being a PC software it has it share of quirks and bugs, mostly UI related, and despite of a competent AI (provided you're fast) the singleplayer experience feels somewhat still at a work-in-progress phase.
    Patches come out regularly addressing a wide spectre of issues.

    To sum up

    PROs:
    - physics (being improved as I write)
    - highly detailed laser-scanned tracks
    - dynamic weather (Rain physics are superb)
    - sounds
    - photorealistic visuals
    - stable multiplayer
    - advanced driver rating system
    - detailed cars and liveries from 2018 Blancpain GT (2019 addon on its way)
    - acceptable VR performance
    - developers listen to the community

    CONs:
    - Tyre model issues on some kerbs (being reworked with next patch 1.0.7)
    - VR visuals (AA, shadows)
    - UI bugs here and there
    - Rating system currently not fully functional    … Expand

    This 1.0 release is definitely not the FINAL build of the game.. developers have said they do plan to develop the game further and they have plans to expand on content. will touch on that later..

    I have been following the game since the day they showed us the trailer and till this day i have been reading forums and every single post literally :D (i know no life bla bla) I am big fan    This 1.0 release is definitely not the FINAL build of the game.. developers have said they do plan to develop the game further and they have plans to expand on content. will touch on that later..

    I have been following the game since the day they showed us the trailer and till this day i have been reading forums and every single post literally :D (i know no life bla bla)

    I am big fan of the game for couple of reasons. I LOVE GT3 cars... This game introduced me to Blancpain GT Series witch i have been following last 4 years. And its a great journey.. Amazing races.. crown jewel of them is SPA 24h my dream now is to attend one of those :)

    Back on to the game review:

    Content
    1.0 version of the game brings Official 2018 season content.. witch means 10 tracks and 18 cars(13 manufacturers)
    and already confirmed FREE UPDATE later this year of 2019 season witch will bring 1 new track and 6-7 new cars confirmed by far.

    Tracks
    laserscaned so you can feel every bump while driving..
    Cars
    each car has its own personality whole different driving adjustment when you switch from lambo to bentley lets say.. crazy how all cars act so different along with amazing details on them interactive interior where you can see buttons move and animation of driver doing it,rubber dirt,spot on details on liveries from real cars, even LED strips for endurance racing on cars were reproduced spot on as close to real life counterpart as possible.

    Campaign
    Witch has real life driver coaching you trough the youngster program until you get approved to do full season racing.

    And next to all that bunch of small options to fiddle around and create your own fun do as you wish no unlocking of content etc.

    SOUNDS
    Sounds in the game are amazing. No comment.. ear bleeding from how loud some cars are...drooling how good some cars sound..and if you compare them to the real life footage they are spot on..

    MULTIPLAYER
    Multiplayer is a whole new level of the game. Your driving is scored on advanced rating witch is ruining on servers and by your skills you will be matched with people same skill for better racing experience.

    Penalty system witch will not let cheaters go around that easy... (Good luck serving drive trough on SPA :D )

    Online QUICK JOIN button, yes now there is quick join button where game will automatically find the best fitting serveer for you. Or if you already have your ratings worked out you can enter CP(competitive) servers where situation is more competitive etc.

    or use good old Server Browser and find what you like and want :)

    From my personal expirience MULTIPLAYER has been so much fun..doing public races doing closed in sessions races...its just hours and hours of fun for me.

    Feeling of adrenaline rush when you are doing qualis and you end up on top places with just 0.1-3xx in between top 10
    when you start doing formation lap..and hit green lights and you floor it... when you do longer races and fight for survival fight against the all odds... if you like that this game is definitely for you.. excitement when you have 2-3 corners of side by side driving.. hoohh..

    Now if you want to listen what some people expectations were and their wishes did not get granted, (that the reason for so many negative reviews) people expected iRacing type of multiplayer for 25€ game and developers said they will not have that and people gone mad.. merge that with some youtubers covering that ♥♥♥♥♥torm and bam people that barely touched the game leaving reviews how game is bad..

    Physics and FFB
    Now this is touchy topic but its must.. I own a G27 (yes yes i know entry wheel not DD etc.)
    I have it set so game feels so good on the wheel so i can feel all the car movement on the wheel little slip of the car i am on it and correcting it.. when i spin i can feel the rubber scraping the tarmac until car comes to a stop. Bumps curbs,you can feel it everything. FFB on G27 for me its perfect.. different wheels may differ but putting some time and setting up wheel is worth it.

    ¸Graphics/Weather/24h day and night cycle

    Graphics is top notch...game looks amazing no doubt about it.. no racing game looks like this and delivers amount of detail ACC does.
    Weather- most wanted feature from AC came to ACC and its RAIN. Developers really nailed it with this one.. Rain and driving on rain is scary AF. And i mean it..fighting a car trough the track even on wet tires(on stronger rain) its crazy and surreal feeling. You can feel the puddles on the FFB you can feel how your wheel is dancing on the track that does not have grip... you can f    … Expand

    Fantastic sensations! Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) is a blast and I highly recommend it. I have pretty much all racing sims (PC2, GT Sports, iracing, Forza 7 etc...) so it is easy for me to compare

    - The driving experience is one of the best. I would say it is between the realism of ircacing and the fun of PC2. The feedback with my T-GT is just awesome although personally I find it a bit too strong and it needs to be tweaked.
    - The audio is very impressive, the engines sound really good. Hands down the best I have experienced and it truly helps for the immersion.
    - Finally a multiplayer game mode that this is easy to get into for people who dont have GT Sport or a subscription to ircaing. The multiplayer take a lot from GT Sport and ircacing and that's great! Easy to get into a race and compete with other people. I would love to have a ranking system or something similar.
    - Graphics are gorgeous and I really enjoy the colors and sharpness of the images.
    - The VR is quite good. i use an HTC Vive Pro and RTX 2080 ti with which PC2 looks very ugly. Only ircaing looks OK. But ACC really did well with its VR mode with much less screen door effect. It is quite enjoyable.

    The Bad:
    - Too few tracks. I hope we can get more tracks in the following updates.
    - Still some random crashes. i know the game was just released so I hope this gets sorted out fast.

    The Ugly:
    - I know the game focuses on GT3 but having a bit more cars would be nice.

    All in all, ACC is an amazing racing sim for the price. I highly recommend it but I hope the devs can fix the crashes.    … Expand

    ACC is first of all an excellent simulator, excellent.

    The physics are great, the handling feels real and heavy. Good atmosphere because of the graphics and, in my opinion, by far the best sound in sim-racing. Also in my almost 90 hours of playing I had some real nice, clean and fair multiplayer races. Still, some bugs and some hiccups, but I really think that, with time, this    ACC is first of all an excellent simulator, excellent.

    This game deserves some real shoutouts what it hase become since 1.0. Now it is one of the leading racing sims with nice addons and a good monitasation system with smal amounts for new cars and tracks compared to the other companys out there. So this is my go to sim at the moment!

    I've tried a lot of car simulators, but only in ACC did I get a real feel for the car. In my opinion, this is a perfect car simulator, it's not the end The game continues to develop and grow with content. separately thanks for the pricing policy. When the games of the sponsors cost 60 dollars each and the DLC is the same, the ACC destroys them with its quality.

    With current-generation racing games, updates make a big difference and none more so than ACC v1.07 released this week. As a driving experience, this game is now superb on dry tracks and the more challenging night and wet conditions. The feel and feedback in the wheel is exceptional with subtle and meaningful feedback.

    The overall gameplay such as the career mode, leaderboards and hotstint challenges still require further work which is why this remains an 8/10 score rather than anything higher. If you are looking for a great pure and real driving experience this is it.

    -----------Previous Launch Day Review 4/10 ----------------

    An excellent driving experience spoiled by frequent bugs, crashes, poor VR performance and an old fashioned career mode with questionable design. For a game called Competizione the online is multiplayer is outdated with frequent performance problems and crashes.

    An overall score doesn' give enough detail on the positives and negatives in this game. Here are my ratings for each element of the game I have tried.

    9.5/10 - general driving experience, TX458 wheel force feedback, car behaviour, night and especially wet weather feel so realistic. I've driven a lot of real world wet laps and medium rain with some standing water feels just right in terms of impact on the car and feel through the wheel. The .5 is lost for those odd spins when the front inside wheel hits a kerb, it's never happened to me in real life, it looks wrong in the replays but it is something I've learned to drive around in this game. Currently, the best way to experience this game is just as it was in Early Access the Special Event hot lap, hot stint and Super Pole sessions which encourage the player to drive different cars in a range of challenging track and weather conditions. As a hot lapping game, it is recommended. The rest of the game does not match this standard.

    9/10 - racing the AI in single player. They are great to race with, leave space but no pushovers and fight back. More AI vs AI battling on track, would be good, there is some but more would be better.

    5/10 - VR is only really viable in good conditions and with a lot of settings reduced. It's worse than it was in EA. VR performance in multiplayer is awful and not really playable. Pretty much a current top spec PC is required to even run VR and then it is often fuzzy. Kunos, the developer has since removed the VR tag from Steam which is a dodgy post-launch move.

    4/10 - Multiplayer, it the usual pub racing. That is not Kunos's fault, that's 'sim' racing in multiplayer in general it seems. However, there are way too many PC crashes and bugs (races not starting after rolling start etc). Rating system (which I really enjoy) seems pretty much irrelevant at this stage.

    2/10 - Career oh deary me. 1997 wants it's career mode back, TOCA games were better than this. Too many crashes (latest after the Misano tyre test has ended), inexplicable design choice not to allow saving between sessions. It isn't a career it's a bunch of hot laps challenges and races stitched together. If the F1 games from 2016 onward hadn't been invented or the GT medal challenge system and track trainer etc never existed maybe they'd get away with this. Just seems so tacked on. So much potential here. If they are going to console (they'll need to sort out the performance issues, no current console would run this game) the career needs serious work.

    All that said when it all works in a VR single player race (or those occasional moments when MP in the normal screen is free of crashers and chaos) it's just so good.

    Overall then ACC remains like owning a 90's Italian Supercar when everything is working and you're driving it as intended the passion shines through in the looks, sound and perfect driver feedback. Just like owning the supercar you've got to work at the experience to get the most from it. Glance away from the driving experience and you start to notice the flaws, the panel gaps, the expensive parts (especially for VR/4K) the buttons that don't work, the confusing menus that make no real sense and how often things go wrong. Some will be prepared to work at it for those few moments and forgive all that. The rest of us would prefer some Japanese GTR type focus and German efficiency were added so that the whole experience matched the driving. Then you could fire it up and enjoy every drive, not just the 2/10 when the stars align and it all somehow works.

    If you like hot lapping and racing the AI it's worth playing now. If you want anything like a stable multiplayer game, are looking for good VR experiences and prefer career mode it's best to wait. Given Kunos's track record I expect the driving experience to remain strong and improve but the rest of the game is likely to lag behind that experience.

    a great driving experience but there are much better racing games that actually wor    … Expand

And the changelogs for updates are pages long. Perfect! Thanks! Keep on going, Kunos! Update ending. Version 1.0.1:
    Perfect physics. Day and night circle. Superb rain physics. Graphic is on top. At the moment: there are bugs, that will be removed by Kunos. At the moment: some settings are missing (for example: you cannot use your wheel and your keyboard simultaneously). Online multi-player works since update to 1.0.1 very good. Every car feels different. Tire simulation is one of the best - if not the best - on the market. I'm in love with the simulation. If the bugs are removed and the settings are added: The game gets a 10 out of 10. At the moment it's still a very, very enjoyable game. I love it!    … Expand

    Assetto Corsa Competizione is a real racing simulation, which is not something that can be said for most games. But as it is an advantage for serious driving fans, it is also a major flaw, as it will hardly attract new players. The biggest flaw of the game is it’s low and inconsistent frame rate, which might push off even the biggest fans if not dealt with in the near future.

    Assetto Corsa Competizione pulls the limits of realism with a nice use of the Blancpain GT Series, but Kunos needs to improve the overall feeling of a videogame. The lack of matchmaking and a poor multiplayer system reduce his life in a long-middle term.
