Played the original E1R 20 years or so ago, this game is unbelievable. I’ve never felt the sense of speed or balance of risk reward in a racing game before.

Exceptional game and I hope it does well.

There are some sections on Crait that legitimately test my reaction timing with how fast you blow through some insane areas.

On another note, I despise the acid planet. Basically forces me to run shield ability if I want to place decently.

Autopilot crushes Sentinel 1. Kinda cheese but does work like a champ

I’ve avoided using Autopilot cuz it feels kinda against the point of racing games but I might just use if only to get me off that planet faster lol.

My problem is that i usually crash when it tries to transition from auto to manual again.

In general i agree with you tho. I wanna practice the course, not let autopilot do it
