The Crew Motorfest review

The Crew Motorfest is a car festival on Hawaii. Its Steam page describes an open world across O'ahu and Maui, with street races through Honolulu, off-road runs on a volcano and circuit racing. Progress runs through more than 20 themed campaigns, called playlists, covering car cultures such as American muscle and Japanese street racing. Online, the Grand Race puts you against 28 other drivers and switches vehicle types along the route, and Demolition Royale pits eight teams against each other. A free trial covers the first 5 hours, which no other paid game here offers. Steam lists full controller support and a minimum of 8 GB of RAM. On the downside, a broadband connection is required, Steam lists in-app purchases, and extra vehicles sit in paid editions. The Steam price was on a temporary discount when we checked, so we have not listed a fixed price.
