Taking a leaf out of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts ‘n’ Boltz ’s book, players begin with a smattering of level 1 parts and a basic pick-up truck to get to work on customising. Whilst adequate, given the game's status in beta, the presentation is helped by Xbox One X enhancement, which adds some stability even when things get hectic to ensure everything runs fairly smoothly, bar the odd jitter caused by network issues. Vehicles still have a distinctly videogame feel though, rather than microscopically true-to-life, and it fits the bill well. Visually, the game isn't a lot to write home about, generally being on par with other independant titles which attempt a realistic aesthetic. Rather than opting for a narrative-driven approach, which Vigilante 8 did to great effect, Crossout is styled as an MMO, encouraging players to work together to tackle objectives against enemy AI and players.
