Driving is fine if you get used to it. Handling of different vehicles is much more dynamic than in gta, thats why it feels that unusual. And admittedly it sucks that driving controls obviously were designed for analog controllers. Just having full speed/no speed and full steering/no steering on the keyboard doesnt work well with these driving mechanics.
Gameplay fun clearly increases in the mid and late game. The first 1-2 hours were pretty boring in my opinion, but then it gets a really nice game.
