Visual
Although Assetto Corsa is not a graphic powerhouse, the cars are still universally striking, which extends to the detailed view of the cockpit. As a sim, the purpose of the experience is to give users as much control as possible. To this end, Assetto Corsa provides a solid set of optimization options that you can tweak before an event.
In a race, players must monitor various aspects of their vehicle, although there is an option to reduce the realism slightly. This can be useful at first, but should quickly be eliminated for those looking to make the switch to multiplayer.
Racing mode
Although a brilliant simulator, Assetto Corsa is a deeply flawed game. For a title that seeks to celebrate the art of racing, the campaign offers little in the way of fanfare. Along with the standard races that allow up to 15 AI opponents, Assetto Corsa’s career mainly offers drifting, dragging and time trials. Putting practice mode aside, players will spend their time mostly in Career, Special Events, or multiplayer.
Over the span of at least 30 hours, Career is underwhelming. If forced to find a positive, the campaign manages to gradually bring users closer to the most challenging vehicles. Unfortunately, this is literally the only sense of progression found in this one-mode slog. It feels closer to a fast-paced streak than an interconnected campaign. Once you complete a race, the results appear on the screen unceremoniously before sending you back to the menu. The game modes seem like an afterthought in Assetto Corsa.
