Review of Alpha.

Been on my wishlist ever since I saw it, since it did look a lot like gta2, which was my prime streaming game for a long time, so gave it a shot as soon as I could (didnt play demo though).

Will start with positives:

  • Really does feel inspired by old gta’s a lot: radio (humor and songs), gang-respect system, tank-controls in car, saves at home, burping, gouranga and other small things - pretty cool!

  • Upgrade system which carries itself into re-playthroughs

  • Multiple endings, non-linearity in area progression

Update: There was a large patch on September 30th, Quality of Life update that should have fixed most of the serious technical issues. I haven’t replayed the game yet.

The game punked me immediately upon starting it by skyrocketing my fps to 482 in the main menu, effectively stun locking my GPU at 100% and 75°C in seconds. And my PC isn’t exactly a potato that needs frying, running an RTX2070, i7-7700K and 32GB of RAM, with an SSD to boot. Without capping the fps, it climbs to about 90 in-game on High settings, making the game stuttery and giving me a hot GPU turbine background noise. After capping the fps to 60 in the Nvidia panel, the game behaves like it should, mostly. There’s still some stuttering and weird lagging, but it becomes playable, for a bit at least. Unless you need to reduce your post-processing to medium, which completely changes the in-game lighting making everything pitch black. Checking the Known Issues topic in the discussions unveils more than a few bugs and glitches, from the mentioned post-processing problem to declining performance and heavily sparkling textures. I’ve had one complete freeze, where even alt+F4 wasn’t reacting and declining performance kept calling me to have a beer with her.

The game looks great, but the timer is a bit too tight, and the first boss is way too hard. Loved the intro movies!

Need for Spirit: Off-Road Edition

Need for Spirit: Off-Road Edition

As a speed runner of this games predecessor I thought this would be much of the same, and a worthy addition to our small community of trash game speed runners. Man I was so wrong.

The first game is so bad that it’s good. Slippery controls. Terrible camera. Every thing on each level was a soft lock waiting to happen.

This time round it seems the Devs have fixed up a lot of the bugs and things that would soft lock you from the first game, leaving just the “racing” aspect. But the game is so slow, and levels so long that you’ll quit from boredom before frustration. The “drunk” effects from the first game are either removed, or just didn’t load. I couldn’t tell as…well, they didn’t load.

Not real a game where i would say “buy it” realy not worth the money,

The game has some grafic errors ( cars dont have lights shown during night time but reflect on the ground), a total missing of music where you dont want to kill yourself after 5 minutes (also music sounds a bit shit when turning cam).

Not a single hint what the game is about.

Well, need a lot of work. right now i deleted it from my steam.

This game has little to no content I could not even get an hour in. Well before I even start THE EXIT BUTTON DOESN’T WORK! Besides the fact none of the car controls you see in the help section actually do anything at all. I would like to think Steam would test games before putting them on their store and make the ability to close it without using alt+f4 a requirement to make the store. I received a key for this game on an app where I played mobile games for points for keys. It was one of the low end rewards from the loot boxes, a sign not to even try it. The music only plays when your put of your car, where you have no body by the way, and its jungle music. In every area, in rocky deserts there is jungle music. I don’t even think there is a jungle in this game. The cars sound like an rc car at full speed when you pick it up overlayed with a person humming in an attempt to mimic the sound of a car. The cars go way too fast and its impossible to control your speed unless you just tap w repeatedly giving the car time to slow a bit then boosting it, because your car just speeds up until it hits max when you hold forward. Remember when I mentioned controls don’t work? THE BREAKS DON’T WORK. They tried to implement drifting which causes your car to just glide if you turn more than an inch like its on an air hockey table. I tried to play through the entire game before leaving a review but I got lost. I GOT LOST IN A LINEAR RACING GAME???????? The graphics are atrocious, I had my settings to ultra and I could see every pixel, on my RTX 2060 SUPER and 1440p monitor. I even tried it on my second lesser quality monitor and it was still horrid looking. There was one area with a stretch of solid white, I thought it was snow but it was just solid white. It was between a rocky valley and a lush green area, oh ya, you somehow leave track marks in rock. The water is excrement brown and has no physics, going underwater removes its texture so it looks like your in a hole. The destruction distorts the textures but some parts like the break lights stay floating as the rest of the car is scrunched up. Some areas you can see text through walls, if you back up into a wall the camera goes through it. Take the $2 you would spend on this mess and go to your local arcade/mall/bowling alley and play the racing games there, heck just buy four gumballs. Or take it and give it to a homeless person who could use that to buy a bottle of water or small amount of food and survive another day. Just buy anything but this mess of a game.

I’ll talk about the pros and cons of this game to let you, the reader, know more about the game, at the end I’ll give my opinion on the game in it’s current state and let you decide whether it’s worth it or not.

-PROS-

The game is very well optimised for both my laptop and my PC and run well on both systems.

There’s a lot of customisation for the different vehicles that are currently in the game

The map is a decent size, it’s not huge and it’s not small

You’re able to teleport to the different races/bosses without having to spend any credit (aka in-game currency)

The game is really great although there are a lot of bugs, sometimes when I am in the performance upgrade page I go to press escape, but it doesn’t work and I have to close the game then reopen it for it to work. As well as when you enter drift area, you cannot go onto other events even after the timer for drift mode runs out, so you would have to go back to garage then back into the map to be able to access the other races, and the problem of “Name too short” while trying to access multiplayer, you can’t actually change your name so that kinda sucked. The graphics are really great, gameplay is a little confusing at first, but then you learn them quickly and the races are good but repetative.
