Interesting combination of racing (you have to reach the end of the level before time runs out) and shoot ‘em up, although neither part is really prominent. You will rarely lose a level because of a timer if you just don’t stop moving forward, and the fighting part of the game only becomes interesting on bosses (which are quite different from the main game and could be really challenging sometimes).

Could be fun for speedrunning, most of the time I’ve played it I was trying to optimize my time on certain levels that I liked the most. But don’t think about it as a racing simulator. When you try to go fast your car feels more like a rocket ship, so maybe this game will fit wonky physics simulator lovers more than racing lovers.

Pacer

Pacer

An Extremely Solid AG Racer

Very worth the wait

Summary:

While the title leaves me scratching my head, nearly everything else about Formula Fusion’s re-incarnation as Pacer has left me very impressed. With an aesthetic somewhere between the PS1 and PS3 era Wipeout games and dripping with detail, the environments here are a sight to behold. The physics model is more traditional to the genre than, say, Redout - leaning more towards the later Wipout games with just a touch of later F-Zero as well. Put another way, the racing model is approachable, intuitive, and smooth - a far cry from the formerly awkward, stilted iterations past. The craft are fun to pilot and have lots of room for customizing to suit your personal style.

tl;dr:

  • Fantastic visuals

  • Physics which scratch that Wipeout itch

  • Good performance; great performance after the first patch

  • Good multiplayer when you can find it

  • Confusing UI

  • OK music

  • If you can’t progress in the campaign, use the garage!

  • There are multiple weapons & items. Again, use the garage.

  • If you suddenly notice your shield/health steadily dropping for “no reason”, it’s probably not a bug; you’re probably in an endurance event

  • If your position jumps suddenly at the end of a lap, having been static the whole way round, that is probably also not a bug; you’re in a “speed lap” event

Lost Wing

Lost Wing

Really fun game. I am looking forward to seeing where the dev’s take it throughout the EA. I will update my review as time goes on (below). For now theres the 1, rather long, zone thats fully functional. A second zone looks to be just about ready, and is available for preview (meaning theres no collision, but you can run through it).

Whats available is awesome. Ship control feels good, speed feels good, pickups feel good, and the challenge is most certainly there. The soundtrack suits the game nicely and the graphics are as you see in the screenshots (crisp and spiffy). I totally recommend, especially at this price.

THE EXPERIENCES

  • You’ve just beat all 10 tracks of world 1 and unlocked endless track nr.11. Endless whirls and and lights flash by as you race, and race, jump to the beat and speed to the track. You’re sure you started about 20 minutes ago, but then you look at the clock and it’s been two hours. You’ve slipped into a meditative trance.

  • You’re number 3 out of 6 left from a 100 racers in a frantic survival race online. Number 2 released a poison cloud which you deftly avoided with a somersault. A hyperspeed lane is coming up and you’ve saved all your boost just for this moment to speed by them and become number one.

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

Quantum Rush Champions

Quantum Rush Champions

This was originally written on QR:Online, but since that game was removed I’ll re-post this.

An excellent Anti-Gravity Racer, QR is well worth picking up. Especially when you consider its indie price tag.

For those who insist on drawing comparisons to other games -

F-Zero focuses more on speed and wide, flowing tracks, WipEout focuses more on technical tracks with tight handling and narrow roadways. QR is a happy middleground. It feels competitive with F-Zero in terms of pace, but has some more technical tracks that feel more remiscent of WipEout.

Real player with 44.9 hrs in game

I don’t understand how, but they somehow managed to turn a rather good game ( Quantum Rush Online ) into a boring and flawed single player game. After playing QR online for some time, I immediately bought QR Champions in early access tu support the devs. And as usual, I regret having bought an EA game… Here are some of the obvious flaws I’ve encountered, I’ve already listed that on the forum, and other players complained about them too, but it seems that the devs just don’t give a damn about user feedback :

Best team based racing game! Play it in split-screen mode with your friends on the couch! Take some beer and pop corn and get ready for a lot of fun due to the great design of the tracks and the opportunity to share power-ups with your teamates.

You can customize your League and beat your friend head to head or simply crash them using powerful weapons picked up on the track.

There are 5 tracks at the moment and the multiplayer online is still in development I hope to play it asap!

I recomend to start with the slowest cars of the class Platinum and when you master them try the Iridium and the Titanium classes.

Short review: awesome and with a lot of potential, getting better and more polished every update. (long review few lines down ere)

I played this game with a REALLY BAD hardware, and so minimum settings in order to have good fps

Specs:

-core 2 quad 2.5Ghz

-RAM 6GB ddr3 800Mhz

-Geforce GT710 2GB

A few key aspects to keep in account when analizing this review: this game is developed by an indie studio and in early access at the time of this review, i’ll update it if the game changes from the current iteration
