That can’t be right, checking Android

Better but still not good. I thought maybe assoluto racing was a new game but it’s not. The public rates RR3 better on both platforms. However obviously both games have fans.

A few big differences here:

RR is a major game, backed by a big corporation. It’s been fine tuned for some time. AR is a boutique game that started from scratch and has made big strides recently. For example, the Ring was just added a few weeks ago, and McLaren’s were just added. And they just improved graphics and physics. So a lot of it’s ratings would naturally be wielded down by previous, more minimal versions.

Their player engagement apparently tripled this update where they improved everything from said physics, to being the only mobile game with the full green hell, made multiplayer completely immersive and added McLaren’s. It’s been a work in progress and now seems to have cashed in.

If anyone checks out the reddit page, it’s very involved, as are their IG pages. Very dedicated community like RR’s. Lots of RR players have popped up on the Reddit since the new Ring/McLaren update (me being one).
