Our take on Synthwave Driver
The store presentation gives equal weight to nostalgia, music, scenery, and driving. Its concrete structure is narrower: five modes, an endless highway, vehicle upgrades, customizable spaces, and score leaderboards. The atmospheric framing may make the amount of conventional racing content seem less clear.
