Is Race worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Players who prefer circuit races against AI rather than a solo driving experience
- Friends seeking a racing game that includes competition with other players
- Racing fans interested in changing a vehicle and purchasing performance improvements
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a detailed vehicle simulation may find the described focus on circuit races and vehicle upgrades limited.
- Players looking for a broad campaign or varied progression may find the stated race-and-upgrade structure narrow.
- Players who require full controller support may be constrained by the partial controller support.
Our take on Race
Vehicle customization and performance purchases add a progression layer to circuit racing, while the stated activities remain centered on races. Players seeking a broader driving routine or a more varied structure may find that trade-off limiting.
What is Race?
Race pits players against AI opponents or friends on a selection of circuits.
Players can customize a vehicle and purchase performance improvements as they progress. Driving views include first-person and third-person perspectives. The game supports keyboard controls and partial controller support, and includes decorative items and music. Multiplayer is mentioned, but the vendor says a fix is planned for an upcoming update, so it is not included here as a current feature.
