Carnival

Carnival is a driving game that is similar to Forza Horizon but it is made by a Chinese developer. You get to drive cool cars in modern city settings. The game is quite interesting, you can try it out if you are looking for a nice racing game that doesn’t take up too much space.

Introduce about Carnival

Racing game, a copy of Forza Horizon on mobile!

What is Carnival?

There are many driving games, but in the end, only a few really good games still exist and are well-received by people. The formula for success seems to be simple: Nice + Speed + Intuitive Controls + Cool Cars, but not many games can do it all, balancing the elements and getting an outstanding difference.

There is a game from Chinese developers inspired by the model of the now popular modern racing game, Forza Horizon, but it has been added a few variations to make the game lighter, easier to play, and more accessible. Carnival is also a place where you can spend hours enjoying spectacular tracks.

Various realistic simulations

In this mobile sports racing game, you get to drive an exclusive car like a Lamborghini but in cool black color through a large map with diverse terrains, colors, and creatures.

Unpredictable speed is the second point that makes the game attractive. Driving a sports car, you can go through the scenery on the road at breakneck speed, but you can also get stuck on a ledge or median.

In terms of realistic simulation, Carnival is integrated with highly realistic and physics simulation. You can see your car while driving in first-person perspective, it shows all the buttons around the steering wheel. You feel the feeling when you close the car door and step in, feel the clear difference between first-person and third-person views. You can also see the hesitation clearly when turning, fast steering, or you can hear the squeal of the brakes clearly… The realism of this game so far is quite good. Besides, some details seem to have not been done yet, which I will talk about in more detail later in the article.

Graphics and sound

The developer may have been a bit ambitious when aiming to be a scaled-down version of Forza Horizon. Right from the graphics, Carnival can hardly be compared with the other big racing game on PC.

Carnival is based on a modern open world that matches the current trends of players, but it lacks vivid descriptive details. At moderate visibility, it’s ok, but at the closer or farther vision, the detail is not smooth. Sometimes, the image is still laggy, and some details such as grass, trees, and leaves… look fake. Maybe it’s still early days, so the game isn’t really complete yet. Hopefully, in the future, the game will have many visual improvements.

The sound is also quite good, but some details are not seamless, affecting the player’s emotions. This is also the part that developers need to improve.

In general, the image and sound of Carnival have a lot of unfinished details. If there are changes in the near future, it will make players more satisfied.

Bad parts of the game

Carnival has no collision system. According to the developer’s explanation, the car in the game has reached the speed, at which the car can glide over some things like electric poles. But this explanation does not seem very reasonable when from the beginning, Carnival has emphasized simulation. So instead of doing that, the car should have actually crashed.

Another is the Drift feature. The features of Carnival are quite good. However, there are still incomplete parts. You can let your car go on many roads, but there seems to be no difference between the backgrounds of the terrain, which means that drift on asphalt or sandy roads is the same.

Carnival will probably need more time to complete and be satisfied from the details to the general. But currently, if you are addicted to Forza but have not had the opportunity to experience it on mobile, you can play Carnival right away.
