How is it? I always assumed Tokyo or Japan in general would be such an excellent setting for the game series. I gotta wait for it to come to PS5 like a good boy 
More of the same, basically. NPCs and your own character are downright ugly, which led to a lot of memes so far. The dialogues in the cutscenes are cringe as always. The Music is atrocious - if you set a game in japan, bring in some japanese music, considering their diverse musical scene but no, we get the same rap mumble garbage (like Lil Nas X) and synth slop as usual. Only one station (Gacha City Radio) has japanese music and it's the worst of their pop music. No visual kai, metal or anything...I pretty much instantly turned off all sounds except the car engine.
The AI in races is all over the place. Wheelspins are nerfed aand that was promoted as a good thing somehow. The progression is still not there, you instantly get supercars. I think Gran Turismo always did that better with buying a cheap, used car and work your way up from the bottom.
And it still has a lot of the same old graphical flaws like the pixelated red smoke on checkpoints
On the positive: the game is optimized and runs on old hardware. My PC can ran it maxed out without any problems (AMD GPU, despite that, Raytracing works perfectly)
The world is definitely a huge, massive improvement over Mexico. Way more interesting and diverse with its biomes and cities.
The car list is big, some interesting new cars, but also a lot of annoying omissions (i miss the A-Team Van)
Overall i'm glad i got it relatively cheap from a key store, it's definitely not worth the full price.
