Unbound difficulty is crazy

I never thought I’d ever play a souls like racing game, but unbound takes the cake lol. Even on the easiest difficulty the AI racers are absolutely ridiculous. I was just doing a big money sprint race and I was way ahead of everyone completely by myself. 75 percent done so I’m pretty much coasting. All of a sudden I see the guy I made a bet with pop back up in the map and I literally see him closing the gap from far behind like I’m not even moving. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was so blatant, that not only did he catch up with me but completely shot ahead of me with no nos, while simultaneously perfectly drifting every twist and turn on the highway while maintaining control in full speed dodging traffic and police cars. Speaking of police cars, one magically busted through the guard rail beside me got in my way while ol boy is weaving every hazard on the road while leaving me in the dust and I came in second place. I was so pissed I started laughing lmao. This game be on the bs super hard.
