PC Gamer
⭐ 87/100
PC Gamer acknowledged it as a great game that excels at the series' core
driving experience. However, they were somewhat critical of the
dialogue and the continued use of the "festival superstar" narrative,
noting that for returning players, the game feels very
familiar—essentially a "more of the same" experience, albeit one set in a
stunning recreation of Japan.
