Players praise the realistic driving physics and force feedback. [1][2][3] The modding community transforms the game into a versatile sandbox. [4][1][5] Some find the base game lacking content and the UI unintuitive. [6][7][8]

Great simulator, not a good game. There's basically no content within the game itself and it's especially flagrant when playing on your own. It's basically a sandbox where you can choose what car to race where, but it's not actually an engaging experience nor has it any incentives to keep going. I find myself remembering about it every 6-10 months, setting it up, playing for like 20 minutes and getting tired of how …

One of the best sim racing experiences you can get, even years later. Assetto Corsa might be getting old, but it’s aged like fine wine - especially once you dive into the modding scene. The base game alone is solid but a bit barebones by today’s standards. The real magic happens once you install Content Manager and Custom Shaders Patch (CSP). Those two completely transform the game -better lighting, weather, physics …

Bought it for racing… stayed for the mods. Assetto Corsa is not just a racing game — it’s a driving experience. The physics are insanely good. Every turn, every brake, every mistake actually matters. Once you get used to it, it’s one of the most satisfying driving experiences out there. But the real magic? Mods. Want real-world tracks? Done. Your favorite cars? Done. Cruising servers, traffic, shutoko vibes? Done. …

Assetto Corsa is basically the Garry’s Mod of sim racing. You can create a clean GT7-style UI, have working multimedia systems in cars with music or even YouTube, customize almost everything you want, and get pretty much any car or track you can imagine. Or you can go completely crazy and turn it into an FPV drone simulator or a GTA-like game with zombies roaming the streets. But at its core, it still has great FFB …

Assetto Corsa is one of the best racing simulators ever made. The driving physics feel incredibly realistic, and every car has its own unique character. Whether you're racing on a professional circuit, drifting, or simply cruising with a wheel setup, the game delivers an amazing driving experience. The modding community makes it even better, with countless cars, tracks, and custom content available. Even after all …

94% of the 225 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Assetto Corsa. The complaint that keeps coming up: base game is barebones and lacks content. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Assetto Corsa (PC) received mostly positive reviews. It received "generally positive" reviews from critics. The PC version received an aggregated score of 85/100 rating on Metacritic, with the PS4 version receiving 73/100. Eurogamer.net, in its January 2015 PC review, writes that "Kunos' solution is simple, elegant and—if there's any common sense knocking around other developers—surely a standard for all driving games that follow in its wake" and concludes that "Assetto Corsa's laser focus on the driving experience works wonders—and when it comes to replicating that simple, brilliant pleasure, there's no other game right now that does it better"; it awarded the game a score of 9/10 and a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Highly recommended. Get yourself content manager and CSP. You will get the option to drive during night time, rain, fog... The modding scene is big also. I only play online on various servers. It took me about 200 hours to get my controller to work just as I want to play with a controller properly so that I could set decent times on "the green hell" track. I don't consider myself a racing sim fanatic since I only play with an xbox controller. I do greatly enjoy this game with all the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assetto Corsa? No, this is 'Downloading 500GB of Mods and Custom Shaders Simulator'. I spent more time adjusting the weather settings and installing new car mods than actually racing on the track. Best racing game ever made.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best driving (sandbox) experience after you set it up properly for half an hour, dont even need a wheel nowadays, advanced gamepad assist makes it a very pleasant experience on a controller. No, you do not need 100 something mods, and no it does not take that much space. a base setup with your graphics mods, a few tracks and around 40 something cars (along with all the base game content) will take up around 50~60gb. If your pc can run any of the mainstream games at low~medium settings,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I need to spend some more time playing it, but first impression is quite good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assetto Corsa with Content Manager and CSP is on a completely different level. Want touge? Drifting? Track days? Highway cruising? Traffic? Shutoko runs? Racing? Just chilling in your real-life car? You can do pretty much anything here. The modding community turned this game into probably the best driving sandbox ever made. Many modern racing games still can’t compete. Ps. Oh, and buy a steering wheel, you idiot. Ps2. My Assetto Corsa folder is already 240GB… ♥♥♥♥
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best driving simulators available on PC, featuring truly remarkable steering wheel and force feedback support. The menus are unintuitive and visually cluttered, clearly revealing its simulator oriented nature rather than that of a traditional video game. The real strength of this software lies in its extensive customization options, allowing players to modify nearly every aspect from input settings and menus to technical parameters, as well as the selection of cars and circuits.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The normal game doesn't offer that much, but with mods it turns 360 degrees and outshines all other car games, you can find thousands of car mods and hundreds of realistic maps to enjoy driving in. not to mention you don't need NASA PC to run this game. and its 1 dollar during sales , if there is a racing game you should get , it's this one.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am not sure. It's annoy that you need so many third parties programs to make it work for gamepad/controller? I might be wrong here. The game itself is good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is so fun but very cpu demanding if you have a rubbish cpu dont buy untill u get a better one

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The base game itself is old but still works. Game is also EOL but the community kept it alive with a little program called Content Manager and it opens up the game to a complete new level. You can have all kind of mods and plugins installed that make the game looking from the old base game to photo realistic but also any car you want including meme possibilities like a t-rex or a tank. Only 151 hours and barely seen everything when i look at the mod list but def worth buying if you like a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Linux gamers too. Sometimes I come across a game like Assetto Corsa that launches for 0.1 seconds and then crashes, so I'm trying the routine list of low hanging fruit easy fixes in the hopes that one of them does the trick
negative · AI labelView post →If you have some spare time to download mods I would 100% recommend this game. Out of the box, it's still really fun, but once you experience the game with graphics, it's truly on another level. The best way to describe it is that you can basically choose to make your game however you want, whether it be graphics, cars or maps. You can drift your real life car in the backrooms with photorealistic graphics if you want
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I play this sim with a mouse and keyboard, yet I still get a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of enjoyment from it, both from the vanilla packs (specially the monza 66 one with the lotus 49) and the mods that I've installed overtime. It's literally the gmod of racing sims when it comes to moddability and by that alone It's already worth it, and I know that I don't play this game the way It's supposed played (with a steering wheel duh) but even still I've managed to have a time of 8:41.476 in the Nurburgring Endurance…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game if your wife tells you to stay with the kids but you are an profesional racing driver
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its great. i can run good graphic mods with my specs. i reccomend it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buy the game with all DLCs and download "content manager" to be able to play on thousands of servers with mods enabled or not. It can be a bit overwhelming at first but overall the game feels great, very good FFB and you can change and tweak everything like you want. Every car feels very unique, some cars are very hard to drive at first but its super rewarding to learn and improve. absolute 10/10

neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t get this game… The UI elements are so tiny, even at my native resolution, that I can barely see anything. I tried starting a career mode but couldn’t figure out what to do, what is the objective, how to proggress? Maybe I just couldn't see it anywhere because it is so tiny hidden somewhere? I just kept riding in circles over and over again, until thought that is enough for me... Maybe I’ll change this review if I eventually figure out how to actually play this, but right now…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You'll need a bachelor's degree to play this Nah but on a serious note, the amount of buttons and sliders you'll have to tweak to make this game playable is crazy. There's less buttons in a passenger boeing's cockpit. I have almost two hours of gametime after buying it on sale and 5% of that is me actually driving a car. Be aware that you'll spend a big time watching tutorials trying to make your game realistic like you see on youtube or social media. Bet you 9/10 videos you'll watch will…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assetto Corsa is showing its age in some areas. It lacks a few modern sim-racing essentials such as a built-in ranking system or proper online matchmaking. However, none of that overshadows the reason this game is still played a decade later: the driving experience is outstanding. Cars feel alive and responsive, and the handling remains one of the most authentic in the genre. Even after ten years, the physics are still among the best available. Every lap delivers that satisfying feedback where…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is very very fun, only good when you have mods installed, dont buy the game unless you are willing to buy mods, buy assetto corsa EVO if you wont download mods.

You can really feel the weight of the car and how the tires grip the road. It feels great even on a controller, but it shines completely if you have a steering wheel.The best part about Assetto Corsa is the modding community. The base game is good, but with mods, it becomes endless. You can download literally any car or track for free from the internet. From…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assetto Corsa EVO shows a lot of promise in its early access debut with a great foundation, but the AI and lack of optimization hold it from a full on recommendation. And it is not playable on the #SteamDeck. A copy was provided by 505 Games for review. steamdeckhq.com/game-reviews...
neutral · AI labelView post →Game is fantastic, but you need to understand that there is very little game here and that to get the most out of it you need to mod it. That being said, the mods are fantastic. Assetto Corsa Evoluzione is a fantastic Gran Turismo style career mode built on top that i'm currently addicted to. For the price, you just can't beat the value here.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Assetto Cors is one of the most respected racing simulators ever made. The game focuses heavily on realistic physics, offering some of the best force feedback and tire modeling in the sim racing genre. ( If we dont compare it to iracing) While the vanilla graphics feel outdated compared to modern titles like Gran Turismo 7 the car models and cockpit details are still solid. Without mods the environments look flat and lifeless, but with visual upgrades the game can look almost next-gen. The…
