Seeing the reviews you would be forgiven for thinking this will not be a fun ride but I'm happy to say this definitely is.
Flatout 4 does have similarities to Flatout Ultimate Carnage (such a great arcade racer) and while this isn't F.U.C. 2017 it still retains enough of the Flatout flavour many arcade racers, including myself, enjoy.
Career mode, stunts, quick race and multiplayer are all here. Career mode has 3 different competition levels and classes of vehicles to unlock. Racing earns credits to purchase unlockables so plenty to keep you playing.
The vehicles handle pretty well and are fun to drive with only minor annoying moments which mainly revolve around the cars tending to slide on their sides a bit much which also points to the vehicles not being as weighty as in F.,U.C. This lack of weight is a bit of a step back from F.U.C but the racing is still fun but it's something to mention
Game performance is great.
Plays silky smooth in 4k using my GSYNC TV with VSYNC off on a 2080Ti.
Visuals are surprisingly good too. Game really presents very well.
Sounds are decent and serviceable. Not audiophile levels but ok. Music is similar to F.U.C's rock tracks which suit the gameplay. I think that if the audio quality/sound sampling was better it would further elevate the immersion.
Special mention about the nitro which is great both in how it performs and sounds. Nitro'ing out of a corner is both satisfying and a useful gameplay tactic to earn an advantage when you would otherwise crash.
The sense of speed is very well done and employing the nitro has that risk/reward factor which is good.
Track design is solid and visually appealing.Their are multiple choices of which path to choose on most tracks which helps keep it interesting.
AI is good and I can't see any rubberbanding/cheating. If you race clean and fast you will win well ahead which I like.
A new gameplay feature in some races is the addition of weapons (!!) and they are fuuuuun :)
This isn't Forza
This isn't Wreckfest
This is Flatout and it's good :)
An easy recommend.

FlatOut 4: Total Insanity is a fun arcade racing game packed with chaos and destruction. Despite its mixed reviews, I genuinely had a great time playing it with friends. The racing can be a bit tricky at times, but the over-the-top crashes and mini-games keep it entertaining. It may not be the best in the series, but it’s still a solid and enjoyable experience. 7/10.

Well its a racing game alright, its just not FlatOut. Instead of dynamic crash physics, somewhat realistic driving and competative ai we got cars that emulate what it feels like driving bumber carts on ice and butter with ai sharing a combined 0,2 braincells.
I am only giving it a possitive review because of how funny the physics are.

Just played for the first time and the destructive physics are quite impressive. If you're a guy you can kick yourself in the nads a few times to simulate the driving physics. NGL, had to rage-quit but to the games credit, didn't delete or refund. Next time I try am not going to expect a typical racing game where you try to win but instead a destructive playground with cars. Hopefully will have a better time then.
