In this video, I break down exactly why Full Stride (despite its gorgeous visuals and realistic racing) is a hollow, unfinished experience that shouldn't get a free pass. We look at the lack of career mode, the missing Early Access tag, the eye-watering $35 price point, and the familiar (and toxic) "we should be grateful" mentality that keeps killing niche genres like horse racing games.

03:22 - Early Access + Price tag
05:51 - Hollow game and no goal (Does this matter?)
08:46 - The Early Access Excuse (Who is beta testing?)
10:18 - "We should be grateful"
13:53 - Are Jockey Gamers "Spoilt"?
14:57 - In closing
