IF YOU ARE GOING TO TRY THIS GAME FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
Edit: You need the ultimate edition. It's a must because people who run private servers include those cars and you can't be on them without that edition (which is what you will be on for most of the time).
1. You have to be comfortable downloading mods, it's not hard to do, but the game is unplayable without them. However, with them, the game is beautiful and fun.
2. First step is you have to get the Content Manager mod, it's essential. Just look it up on YouTube and they will have links to where to download it. It is 100% free for the 'lite' version which is all you need. You will never open the game straight up after that, just load up content manager and that is where you launch everything from.
3. This game can be enjoyed without a racing wheel. I have a PS5 controller and after looking up the right settings for the controls it works really well. Do I think a wheel would make it 10x better? Yes. Do I not want to commit to a $300 wheel yet? Also yes.
4. Some online modes are fun but I would start with the single player challenges in Content Manager. They start you off with slower cars which is very important in this game. It's not like Forza where all cars are fairly easy to drive, this game is realistic which means each car has very specific driving capabilities and the fast cars will get away from you easier. Still try them online though they are fun!
5. If you want to play with people or online, it is not as easy as just hitting 'queue for match.' You will want to look up beginner-friendly discord groups that put on races. If you do want to just hop into a match, it can be fun but don't think you will have a legit race going on 99/100 times.
6. Last tip: Get the Shutoku Revival Project mod, it is the one where you drive through traffic and it is very fun. Look up on YouTube how to download it.
For the review just know it is a very fun game, but it's not like other high-end racing games that have stories or progress to complete. This is a sandbox-style game that is all about realistic controls. Basically it is what you make of it and you might have to do some digging at first to see what other mods/communities you want to join to get the most out of the experience.
