Extreme-G 2
This is a game that requires patience in learning its quirks, the sometimes wonky bike physics and controls, but rewards you immensely if you persevere. And this is coming from someone who plays using a keyboard and is fundamentally bad at racing games.
There are a few bugs here and there (nothing game-breaking: just don’t decline a save when you’re offered one, or the game might stop offering), and I should elaborate on the wonkiness. The bikes are very fond of turning sideways or even backwards upon collision with a badly shaped wall or other bikes. Sometimes you might grind along a wall no problem, and sometimes you might snag on something and get turned around. The controls for left and right like reversing themselves at this point, as well as the gas pedal just kinda breaking, but you learn to deal with this very quickly (hint: it’s good to let go of all buttons briefly and then try moving again).

For the 2.50€ I paid for it is probably worth it. Mind that the controller support is still the worst of any steam games that I own and took some digging through the forums to find an acceptable solution. Not a decent one, but an acceptable one.
Well, I suppose that on the plus side the game actually works with decent frame rates and the WHOLE soundtrack catalogue from XG1 - 3 and both N64 and PC versions of the soundtrack is present. The soundtrack alone may justify the price tag.
But the controller support is bad, euphemistically speaking. There is no controller support in the menus, so no relaxed gaming on your TV. To get my XBone controller working, I had to set all executables to “run as admin”, then select the controller in the pre-game menu (which I have to start around 3 times on win 10 to actually start the game), then navigate to bike selection, press space bar and config my controller buttons. Shoulder Triggers are not being recognized. It’s a hassle that reeks of a lazy port. Like, every N64 emulator does this better and the only reason this version may continue to exist is stable framerates.

This game has a lot of potential. I would love to see replays implemented, as well as after the race machine cams, kinda like F Zero GX has. The game runs great, looks amazing, and has super tight controls. I highly recommend this game to any fans of F Zero, Wipeout, or if you just like fast racing games.

Very polished and futuristic racer. Soundtrack is very atmospheric with a hint of 90s dance! Played for about 20 minutes and there are lots of tracks and many ships to unlock which i guess the more you play and advance through the game you can unlock.
The graphics are impressive and the speed is fast but you don’t find yourself crashing into the side of the track a lot trying to control the ships! When you do crash you don’t lose a lot of time trying to catch up to the other ships and trying to gain back your position.

Rise: Race The Future
HELLO! I have been waiting what feels my entire life to write this review and i cannot wait.
So about a year ago i found this game and i fell in love. It has so many things i like about it. For starters its a racing game that just feels really good. I dont like games that make me feel like im driving in a straight line all the time. This game has excellent level design. And the way the cars feel is unheard of. The steering feels so touchy when u first play it but once u get the hang of it its perfect. I really enjoy all the play i get with my controller while driving. I can get fancy with my stick movement, my gas and brake, and the handbrake is amazing. Some games the handbrake dosent feel right but here it has alot of respect from me.

System and Setup:
Windows 10 64bit
Intel Core i9 10900K
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER
LG 27inch 1440p 144hz monitor 27GN850-B
Oculus Quest 1
The game ran with max settings at 1440p, 144fps on the monitor without any notable issues. No complaints about VR either.
Opinion:
-
The near-future car designs are nice.
-
VR mode works well, even if there’s no proper cockpit view. A hood cam is the best you’ll get.
-
Despite the store page not pointing it out, it does support cloud saves.
- No Achievements/Trophies

I.O.R.C Impact Orbital Rescue Crew
A twist on the side scrolling shooter, in this game you have to fly around dealing with falling space junk.
I found this game quite challenging and there is a good amount of strategy involved in deciding what aspects to deal with first, such as putting out fires or breaking apart the debris.
I found it satisfying to finally beat a level, after a few attempts, adjusting my strategy to deal with the different types of falling wreckage.
Overall a challenging and fun game.

It’s like “The World’s Hardest Game”, but instead of filling you up with rage, this one is actually quite pleasant to play and has much more advanced mechanics.

Speedpunk
Overall the concept was pretty cool! But the handling on the car was kinda difficult to get used to. As well as it being a relatively short game, could complete in under half an hour or so. Also the music was extremely loud and unbearable!!

I LOVE IT! I love the classic graphics. I love the music for sure! It’s simple, elegant, and fun! My ONLY request would be to make the shooting button right-CTRL instead of left-CTRL. I can cross my arms up anyway, so it’s not a deal breaker. It’s definitely worth adding to your library.
