CrashMetal – Cyberpunk (v2021.09.06)

Neon-soaked streets, live traffic, and a garage full of possibilities give this open-world racer its appeal. CrashMetal – Cyberpunk trades tightly scripted circuits for a stylized futuristic city where cruising, hunting down tucked-away locations, and showing off a personalized machine matter as much as raw speed. Its atmosphere leans into the familiar cyberpunk look of glowing signage, dark roads, and metallic bodywork, making it a relaxed sandbox for players who enjoy automotive culture. Rather than treating cars as disposable vehicles between races, it puts the focus on building a ride with a distinct identity.

Driving around the city forms the central loop, with traffic creating movement and obstacles as you search for hidden spots or simply test a newly altered setup. The customization suite reaches far beyond a basic paint selector: bumpers, fenders, hoods, wings, side skirts, lights, and other visible pieces can be swapped to reshape a car’s silhouette. A dedicated livery editor lets players create their own vinyl designs, while gloss, metallic, color-shifting finishes, wheel colors, and neon accents provide plenty of visual freedom. Performance work is equally detailed, allowing changes to internal engine parts, forced induction, nitrous, exhaust systems, ECU settings, tires, brakes, weight reduction, and gearboxes, alongside suspension geometry adjustments such as camber, toe, ride height, spacers, and wheel size.

What separates CrashMetal – Cyberpunk from a more conventional arcade racer is its emphasis on the workshop experience. It feels closer to the tuning-and-cruising side of Need for Speed or CarX Street than a championship-focused racing game, especially for players who can spend as much time tweaking stance and decals as driving. The city’s hidden areas encourage unstructured exploration, while the mix of visual parts and mechanical tuning invites repeated experimentation with different builds. Fans of cyberpunk aesthetics, street-car customization, and low-pressure open-world driving are the best fit; players looking primarily for deep competitive racing events may find its garage and free-roam elements more rewarding than its racing focus.
