Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
βalright, concept its good. execution no so much. Driving feels Arcade-y with a clear difficulty curve. its decent but gets old rather fast. Graphics are highly stylized, it goes all in into the black n white comicbook style, thats about itβ¦β
βCame for retro atmosphere and a good road story. Got repetitive gameplay, shallow racing, and more political agenda than actual content. The art style is cool. Everything else underwhelms.β
