Automobilista 2

Automobilista 2 is a racing simulator from Reiza Studios, tagged on Steam as Action, Indie, Racing, Simulation and Sports. Its core appeal is variety. The store description presents it as a celebration of motorsport, placing you at the center of decades of racing history. Within a few clicks you can move from a rental kart in a modern day race in downtown Sao Paulo to a historic Grand Prix car lapping Monza's banking as if it were the 1960s. The game aims to be an advanced simulator that still remains fun and accessible.

The core loop is picking a car and venue, then either running one of the championship seasons included in the game or building your own. Custom seasons let you set classes, tracks, points system and weather. Historic content goes further: the description names the Lotus 72E, the Group C Porsche 962C and the McLaren F1 GTR, driven on the tracks they actually belonged to. Some cars bring unusual engineering, such as the Brabham BT46B fan car and the McLaren MP4-12 with its brake steer system, which the store page describes as never before modeled in a racing simulator.

Conditions are a major part of the experience. The description highlights dynamic weather and track conditions, 24-hour cycles and Real Weather, which links the game to a global meteorological data system so that a race at Silverstone can match the real conditions for the date and hour you select. The store page also says more cars, tracks, historical content and racing modes are planned for the years ahead, describing the game as an ever-evolving project.

• Karts, Prototypes, Classic Grand Prix cars, modern GTs and Racing Trucks all appear in one catalogue of detailed venues across five continents.
• Real Weather connects the simulation to global meteorological data, so races can reflect real-time conditions at locations within the game.
• Dynamic weather, track conditions, 24-hour cycles and barometric pressure modelling make conditions change from session to session.
• Historic machines such as the Lotus 72E, Porsche 962C and McLaren F1 GTR are driven on the tracks they actually belonged to.
• Custom seasons let you set classes, tracks, points system and weather, or you can run the championship seasons included in the game.
• Steam lists VR support, full controller support, Family Sharing, and multiplayer with online and LAN player-versus-player options.

Automobilista 2 holds a Steam label of Very Positive, which is 極度好評 on Steam Taiwan, with 91% of its reviews positive. The review volume sits in the tens of thousands, a substantial base for a simulator aimed at a specific audience.

On Steam, the label is calculated from the percentage of positive reviews and the total number of reviews, so a score in the 90s across a large sample usually means most players who have reviewed the game were satisfied. Because the sample is large, the percentage is a fairly stable signal, whereas titles with few reviews can swing much more from one batch to the next. Simulation fans and casual racers may weigh the experience differently, so read a few recent reviews to see whether the game's depth matches your expectations.

All prices here are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$. Automobilista 2 currently sells for NT$ 568, which is also its regular price, and it is not on a tracked discount right now. It has not been free to keep in our records.

Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. The lowest paid price we recorded is NT$ 170, on the first day we tracked it, and the highest we recorded is NT$ 568. We have seen the game discounted often, with the deepest discount recorded at 70%.

Whether now is a good time depends on your patience. At the current price the game sits at its regular level rather than our recorded low, so waiting for a sale is a reasonable choice if you can hold off. If you want to play right away, the strongly positive reviews suggest the purchase is well received by most of its players, but treat the price trend as a starting point until our record grows.
