Give this game a shot when it's on sale. It's a fun game, but disappointing in a couple of ways. Long story short: Expect to have fun and a great time, but with some trial and error moments, sometimes not the easiest to interpret obstacles, and to eventually possibly ask yourselves wether you're playing just a "wall riding simulator" at some point. The long version for those interested: I'll begin with the positives. Most of the tracks and maps are well designed , fun, keeping the pace and adrenaline up. The different abilities are fun to utilise. The art direction is alright, the music fitting. It offers a bunch of extra game modes and a lot of extra maps after the campaign is over, which is a plus in my book. There's also a story, which is an interesting aspect to a racing game. Let's now take a look at the negatives, and most likely in more detail. Firstly, the visual cues and communication between the game and the player. This is a problem that is most prominent in the early progression of the game, and litters the majority of the Adventure campaign, the very first levels the player is thrown into after booting up the game for the first time. In a lot of moments, it is unclear what exactly is to be expected next, whether it's "this or that" kind of obstacle and what the player is expected to do to progress further. Secondly, the viewing angle, because not being able to properly see what's ahead in the distance made the cohesiveness and communication between the game and the player worse. Personally, my eyes would also get sore after an hour of playtime because of it before I put more hours into the game. This so far, however, becomes less of an issue the more time the player spends in the game, because the tracks are easy to get used to, as in to read between the lines. Thirdly, there are a lot of moments of trial and error in the Adventure campaign especially, e.g. a sequence of short jumps is interrupted with one long jump without giving any cue that a long jump is expected, until the very last second, where the player sees the gap in front of them. In a game about navigating a track full of obstacles, I believe the fun comes from dodging said obstacles on the go, instead of remembering certain spots and memorising tracks. Additional disappointment for me were the collectables. Without going into spoilers, don't waste your time on these. It's not like the player might even get the idea of the presence of collectables in the game anyway, because unless they "f*ck around and find out" inside the tracks, there is little possibility of them encountering one, despite some of the visual or auditory clues; however, in a game where the priorities are speed, attentiveness to the obstacles on the racetrack and atmosphere, I believe that expecting players to pay attention to details that are irrelevant to the track and the current experience the player finds themselves in, and to expect them to slow down and carefully observe and explore every corner of the map, is madness. The final challenge that becomes available to the player after obtaining all collectables isn't worth it either. Its gameplay style is rather distant from the overall gameplay style of the campaign mode, and it isn't even fun to play. Follow a guide if you're interested in the collectables. Don't waste your time, it is not worth it nor worth your effort. Final words: The best levels offers especially the Lost to Echoes campaign (although I did begin to think to myself that I was playing a wall riding sim until I moved onto the other campaign/game modes). The game-to-player communication in those is very well done, the levels are easy to read and they don't hold back on the challenge. Another gem is the Overload level from the Adventure campaign. I also found the additional modes (such as Sprint or Challenge), offering more levels, enjoyable. 6/10
I can't believe I never wrote a review for this. Sorry it took so long. This game is absolutely EPIC, with a slight touch of horror, but only slight. The game has secrets, a little bit of exploration, and just banging vibes. Mastering the controls is so satisfying, when you just fly the sections with the speaker blasting music. This is actually the only game I'm looking to by the soundtrack for. Nearly a decade later, and I swear, the game hasn't aged at all. The visual, the music, the controls, upgrading to a 240hz HDR monitor and theater speakers, just makes the experience so much better. This is actually one of the best games to really enjoy an immersive setup with. My only complaint, are we ever getting a sequal, or expansion? I'd love to see more form this.
My goodness, presentation gets an A++++++++++ 😀 I never even wondered about what a car would drive like in zero G. A AAA studio could never make a game like this, this, it's flashy, fast, looks and feels amazing, also your car can explode, get bisected and lasered or get lost in space a dozen different ways. Funny thing is I only found out about this game from a yt comment thread 😂
On a casual level, Distance is a lot of fun. Generally smooth controls (when you're not upside down!), a great many number of levels as well as community created stages provide many hours of entertainment, and as your skills develop you'll feel like a wizard with some of the slick tricks you'll start to pull off. However, the game is almost certainly too visually noisy. In my experiences both in singleplayer and multiplayer, drivers kept crashing to the same obstacles on certain maps over and over until you rote learn to avoid them. Conveyance is too often poor for a game demanding quick reactions, and some of the more complicated maps might leave you scratching your head as to how to even finish the stage at all. I think it's fair to say the game has a larger focus on the speedrunning community, given the way timers and scoreboards are built into the game, with you being able to add ghosts of players' runs into your own single-player game to compete with. This encouragement, alongside the shiny medals you can earn are excellent incentives to shave seconds off your time, which is always a great feeling. Unfortunately, some of the levels feel as though they are designed to be as unreplayable as possible. So! many! stages! start on a long, straight road with absolutely no obstacles for upwards of five seconds. Some missions have barebones gameplay for the first minute before the stage actually starts to get interesting. None of these sections are necessarily super long in and of themselves, but given Distance's emphasis otherwise on speedrunning, the trade-off in gameplay for atmosphere was (in my opinion) absolutely not worth it. Many stages are a drag to replay for this reason. Overall a fun time. You might want to try beating your personal best, though sometimes it's better to let sleeping dogs lie.
