60 of 127 · most liked firstWell, this is something truly different and in my opinion well worth picking up. With the usual slow summer for game releases, the FIA Truck Racing game intrigued me. The game launched today and after a quick single lap tutorial that covers the basics of truck control, I was quickly into a race. https://youtu.be/bMr_j75364c First impressions, the good stuff: +++ Size and weight. Immediately and in real contrast to the usual car racing games the size and weight of these trucks is transmitted…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really fun and interesting game with good mechanics. Racing 5 ton trucks having to manage the bakes isn't something you do everyday and i love it for what it is. But let me explain my problem and the negative review. i'm constantly 7-10 seconds faster than expert AI on every track, and i do NOT have to explain why this is a problem. If i can't race aginst compettetive opponents in a racing game then it gets boring VERY fast. I don't mind the old graphics (although better mirror resolution…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so far, new game, like the concept, but........ Is this an arcade or sim? feels like arcade!! It is new, but there really needs some major major updates. I aint judging or comparing yet lets see the new patch when it is out. So as right now I have to say it is quite a poor attempt at a sim, and very expensive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Waste of money and time, crap graphics, no manual FOV adjustment, poor FFB.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →disappointed:( graphics look very flat and dated...driving physics not to bad
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shortly : not so bad FFb and feeling from driving but it's on old engine, wheel is sometimes crazy, graphics is old, tracks and enviroment are poor.. dont buy it for 40€ ;)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Keep going, you could win this race!! says the annoying lady constantly... Turned off music, turned off her and now we are racing!. Love this game. Smooth graphics, trucks feel heavy, and control feels real. The physics feel good and I'm enjoying this game! At the sale price I give this a thumbs up!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't really cared so much about truck racing until i seen a movie about it and i loved that movie and after it was looking for a truck racing game and i found this ...and well ... Game is like a regural truck racing ..with tracks as being an official game but instead of cars ..you have a truck more horsepower ...and more tonnes. Gameplay is a bit hard as aint so easy to control a truck as like a car ..but you will get used to it and enjoy this game as much as other racing game... You…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →seasons are not ending. after finishing the ETRC championship and saw the issue i've abandoned the game for two years. now i did the World Series and at the end of it i had the same issue. at this moment i'm having zero motivation to start a all over again a third time.. i am disgusted.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tbh i thought i would refound that game after playing a few minutes but ig imma keep it and play it for some time since the base game is made rly well, optimisation is also very good at release and that´s smthg others just cant achieve after years. The trucks r well made and you can feel the weight and power also pretty good but what i am still missing is the wheel rotation setting but that´s not so urgend for me. Idk y ppl actually ♥♥♥♥♥ about the graphics since they r good enough for this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FIA European Truck Racing Championship Shallow & Boring Now I love Racing and I love trucks, hell I even drive trucks for a living! But damn this game is so boring and shallow. It reminds me of the old Milestone, Kyloton titles that were bare bones and after 30 minutes you've experienced all the game has to offer and everything from there onward its just a grind. The game is just not fun. The race weekends are so long and grindy and it leaves you with no sense of achievement, satisfaction or…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cons: (9) Intro for the first start is 100% volume and unskippable Throws you right into a race before you've had the chance to set anything up Multiplayer is dead (no players), it was mostly dead when the game originally launched anyways Not the best quality sounds The assistant in your ear never shuts up, repeats the exact same lines 1000 times The AI don't have any clue what they're doing The voice actors sound like generic cheap actors The feeling of force feedback and how the trucks handle…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I sadly do not know where to place this game arcade or sim since it seems its neither. Pros: + Seems pretty good tracks + Good visual + Good sound + Nice career buildup Cons: - Very weird AI , seems to be driving on rails, pushing you off track and you get a penalty when you do the same to them, they dont get penalty - While it does support G29 wheel, it took forever to set it up properly for this game, was not just a simple plug n play. - Overall weak AI, they can compete with you for 1…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have never experienced a racing game made this poorly. Tutorial (or License Test as it's called) takes ~30 minutes. They introduced brake temp management, but other factors such as tyre wear, fuel management, engine modes aren't even there. Is there force feedback? Yes. But only for brake management, and when going on kerbs. There's no whatsoever feedback when you're understeering or about to oversteer. The AI is atrocious, worse than in any game I've played. On Professional difficulty, their…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i feel this is a good/ different sim however its lacking in some basics. The ai difficulty is far to easy even on the hardest mode. (gets boring) There are only a maximum of 12 truck on track at any one time. The 'autodrive' is not realistic and i feel the player should have control. (ie jump start penalties, speeding in pit lane ect.) however The feeling/handling of the truck is very realistic and challenging (ie brake temperature, boost lag. ect) The graphics are good, as is the game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game visually looks good. The tracks look beautiful, the trucks have good models and it all seems fine in the screenshots, but there are some major flaws. The tutorial is way too long. You can't skip dialog and it feels like they're holding your hand through the first hour over every little thing. Also the licence tests are not fun. In Gran Turismo they are fun little challenges that gives you rewards but in this game you have to do all 15 of the most boring tests imaginable. They aren't…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bored of F1 franchise, PC2 idiots ramming in multiplayer and rallye games? Try the trucks! Now from Bigben Interactive, FIA TRC game. What is odd that the steering on my G29 feels way more nicer than in games bove, but hey, remember tht they made FIA WRC as well which was not that awesome. But hwat did youexpected ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? :D Those trucks are much better and interesting than almighty F1 and stuff. Graphics aren't that cool, feels like mediocre. Again, the budget. I noticed funny bug or my…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a big fan of Formula Truck by Reiza Studios, this FIA ETRC inmediately caught my attention. Comparing the two games is not fair, since the former is an pro simulator with accurate truck physics, but that doesn't mean the latter can't deliver. Indeed, the game offers many exciting moments, but there are also plenty of small inconvenients that need patching to elevate it to its full potential. The good: -Trucks are fun to drive, they feel hefty and are prone to oversteer if you floor it. It's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game is good with a few patches n updates just give it a try it won't hurt just in with a open mind and not ahardcore sim racer because this is not a sim
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- **Parking Garage Rally Circuit** is pretty fun and runs well. - **V-Rally 4** is pretty smooth as well if you turn down settings a little bit. I love that it has a unique hill climb road in eastern Europe that Top Gear or Grand Tour covered. I don't remember the name. - **Truck Racer** is a fun ps3-era arcade style game. I have yet to play them on Steam Deck, hut I've played these on other consoles and loved them: - WRC 4 - FIA European Truck Racing Championship - Wreckfest
unlabelledView post →It is a heavy gpu game although the visuals are like from 2012.You dont feel that you own a truck because you dont have a garage or something.The settings for the steering wheel dont save! very few race tracks.Online does not work and is not due to insuficient number of players.Developers nowhere to be found.Although the driving force feedback is decent the virtual wheel cant match your wheel.If you want a real truck-car simulator consider buying Beamng drive instead.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a shame how much this game gets overlooked. Anyone that is a fan of racing, or a fan of trucks, or both, this is a very enjoyable racing sim. Yes I called it a sim, because the physics are pretty damn good and the sounds and truck details are amazing. First thing I did when I launched the game was go into video settings get everything maxed out (the game looks good), then into controls to make sure everything was mapped. It automatically mapped the G27 correctly from what I could tell,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First of all: I only played 2 hours so far and I bought the game for half the price. So based on that, I would recomend the game ONLY if you can get a decent price or just wait few updates. Now my quick analisis: I expected nothing from this game, so at first most of what I saw was really cool. Performance is good (I've read some people had troubles but it was super smooth for me), and since I'm on the controller I (obviously) had no problem with FFB. Driving feels really FUN. It feels…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best Truck Racing Game = FIA European Truck Racing Championship
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wont bother doing a fully structured review but will share some things. The game seems cartered to a very niche group of people being very dfferent from any racing game I have played. The good is that the game has some options to reduce the authentacy. For instance Instead of having to do four 12 lap races at the start of the championship you can reduce to 25 % at options (did not know this at first...) and the maximum amount of laps will be 2-4 depending on the map. Serously who plays this…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Get this if it is on a big sale but no other time. The graphics are good and driving physics are ok for an arcade game, but in fairness the only other truck physics I have played with is Euro Truck Simulator. The tutorial is slow and can't be skipped. There is nobody to race against online, no active community. so you can only race offline. But when you race offline the AI are seriously slow even on professional difficulty. Maybe this is good for you if you are bad at racing games.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wow. (Based on retail price of yes you saw £35.) Where to start? the licences before i start are a decent addition to this game more because most people will probably have no experience walking into this game. ETSC (i think) i did one race & quali. Quali i felt i was 2 seconds off the pace (hardest difficulty) and i was correct i was pleased with this and looking forward to the race. Wow, races. JFC. An AI spun (yes you read that correctly) 4 times in 12 laps. I saw at least the same AI…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →waste of money rubbish graphics
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game's not awful but they announced free DLC for the game which basically no one got and customer support for the game is nonexistent.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While this game lacks a little in the graphics, presentation, and polish departments, it provides a solid driving experience and does a good job of represented an under-appreciated form of motorsport. The physics might not be quite on the level of RFactor or Project Cars, but they're generally solid. Understeer, on-throttle oversteer, and lift-off/braking oversteer all manifest when you would expect them to, and the trucks can slide around a little bit without totally losing it. In general…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game be like: "Haha that input was so funny, I will now proceed to drift for absolutely no reason"
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has potential but My God the penalty system and the AI are simply broken. I can put up with the dodgy brake cooling system but on the whole the game is just mehhhh. Winning all the races leaves you with a feeling of wasting your time.. its simply not fun. I picked the game up on eneba for 70p .. so its not the end of the World.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FIA Truck racing delivers a sound racing experience. Managing brakes can be frustrating at times, but overall adds to the immersion of the product. The AI is garbage, being far too easy to beat on Professional difficulty, as well as the penalty system being incredibly frustrating at times. However if you like Truck racing, the game will definitely be enough to keep you happy. I would not advise paying full price of this game, but if you can pick it up for $10 or less, give it a crack.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once you manage to actually get to the proper racing part it can probably be some fun, but holy cow, at least let me skip all of these stupid long explanations of every single stupid menu I enter. Nobody needs a forced explanation that I can enter a Race from the calendar, people will figure that out faster on their own than the forced explanations takes to spell it out to me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →UPDATED - At the end of season 1, like other users, I found it impossible to progress any further thanks to a bug. Between the fact the game is bad AND it's got game breaking bugs, that's it. I'd give it a 0.5 out of 10. Removing from account. It really is THAT horrible. No idea how it got even MIXED reviews on Steam. ORIGINAL - Outdated graphics (and I do mean severely outdated from 2019 when it was released), poor physics & handling model. Bad AI. Severe lack of speed sensation (your morning…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Took me 1h to get to the first proper career race, which was almost 30 min to complete. To be honest though, I actually enjoyed the whole driving aspect, just not the limitations you are given. In which racing games do you get a speed limit of 160km/h? The watercooling thing seems interesting, though I barely needed it through the race, but my radio buddy still wanted me to spray some water on the brakes. The AI is fine for what this game is.. until they freak out and slide into your back,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Outdated graphics for 2019 Bad Physics, opponents behave like a wall when you drive into them. No damage to trucks whatsoever. RATING: 2 out of 13 bipolars
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After spending nearly an hour trying game to recognize accel pedal with no luck, (G29) I requested a refund. This was asked about by other players in the forum, with no answers. Its unfortunate as I was looking forward to playing this.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Plowing through my backlog over on, uh... @backloggd.com. Here's some quick takes on three recent games I've played: ACA NeoGeo Metal Slug, FIA European Truck Racing Championship and CYBER POOL. backloggd.com/u/ChuckDowli...
unlabelledView post →Unfortunately the AI is so incompetent, and it feels like they do not play by the same rules as you, with unlimited water tanks, unheard of qualifying times and then zero pace in the race. Occasionally one of the AI will be something like 2 seconds faster than the field, but even on hard when I had no clue how to manage my brakes and water I was finishing in 6th. As I got better I would just find myself frustrated with the race-craft of the AI, they will try and drive through you if you defend…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After wasting a whole hour trying to configure my racing wheel without any success, I decided to simply embrace the suck of having wasted my money and delete this junk and play my other (and much better) race sims... (If it helps fixing the issue for other users, truck acts like the brakes , cluch and throttle are always engaged, and the only way to release the brakes (or engage the clutch) in the game is to depress the respective pedals in my Logitech G923.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got bored after 5 hours of playing... I know, trucks are slow, but when driving very slowly, even at 160 km/h. In carrier mode you have to finish the first season to be able to join a team for the whole season and repair the truck. So... Season 1 would be about 10 hours? Plus there is EU (ETCR) and World Series. No sense of achievement. At least for me. Something new an interesting for me was overheating brakes, that need cooling while braking. Maybe this game would be interesting for big…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring Truck racing where scripts decide your fate and you as a player will be punished either with penalties or uncontrollable vehicle. The career and the both modes play the same. You need to earn a Licence before entering it though, its not hard but a bit anonying at times. Contracts are u seless and they don't provde any info about the Truck you will drive but then again it doesn't matter anyway. First you have to show your "skills" during weekend races that are the same as full lenght…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boring they need to update the game settings for the steering wheel works like Donald Duck sometimes the settings menu is there sometimes not I regret I bought such a poorly developed game If I had known, I would just as well have thrown the money into the lake
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have to say this is one of the most boring racing games I have played. Just the process leading up to each race its screen after screen. Then when driving, there's little to maintain interest and it just becomes a process of driving around in circles avoiding overuse of the brake cooling... Unless its cheap I wouldn't bother.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The bloom is so bad from in-cab that I can't play. Especially at Indianapolis. Other views are reasonable but I don't care for that arcade style of view. Its a little disappointing because the series IRL is fun to watch and its nice to play in that space. The tracks and trucks in game seam in good shape. I'm not going to uninstall it and ask for a refund because I am hopeful for a fix. But if you like racing from the cab, then I would not recommend at this time. Anyone else, sure go for it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While it's certainly not on the same scale as Forza or similar racing games, it's target audience isn't either. At least the truck racing is better than the ones they have in Forza. The AI can be a little easy if you play with manual transmission. But if you keep an open mind entering this game you will enjoy some nice truck racing action. If youre not sure, get it while its on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall it's a great game based on a great real life series. It's a shame there isn't equivalents such as the British series, or classic versions of trucks. The game feels very early development and still needs a lot of work. AI seems very buggy still but I'd recommend this if you want to hit some hot laps round some nice circuits in something very different. Would love to see Flags and rules being followed by AI, AI that doesn't crash off at the same corner everytime for 12 laps and pit…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good Graphics, AI could be better and more tracks would be nice.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →2013 Graphics, No difference between wet and dry , no FFB in gamepad ( Logitech F710), didn't meet any expectations , was so hyped for this , on top of all that highly overpriced , this is not worth more than 15$ , trucks feel spungee when coliding, only difference was the sound of these trucks compared to current F1 cars, they sound very good that's it. I am willing to pay this price but atleast should be good enough, unfortunately applied for a refund as it is not good enough for me to become…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Im sorry, but I honestly cannot give this the thumbs up! This game feels more like a tech demo than a completed version. The graphics are very poor for a game of this generation. I doubt the performance was even tested before release as I have tried tweaking the settings and still cant get solid frames like all other AAA releases in my library. I guess the Developers feel they have the right to charge such a high price due to owning a niche market, but I don't feel that I have got my money's…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →randomly remembered I had this, so a friend got it too since we often chill on racing games; most fun had in ages! defo recommend this if on sale, and the water system means you have to be careful with overtakes too (or you're unable to stop for the corkscrew at Laguna Seca like I did...)
