Very good arcade-y open wheel racing game. The career mode does get more difficult as you approach modern day, as racing lines will change and braking zones will shrink as you get more grip, better brake upgrades, and a quicker car overall, but I never felt like the AI had an unfair advantage. Gameplay wise, there's enough going on with managing grip, fuel, the car's damage model, and tire wear mechanics where a poorly planned pitstop can ruin a race, but it still is an arcade racer and doesn't get too overcomplicated. In terms of off the track gameplay, there are choices you make (car upgrades and perk selections are the main 2) that do affect the races, but it's pretty limited which was a plus in my book. Audio and music is nothing to write home about, but not terrible either. The price point is honestly great at $10, as I'd be willing to pay 15-20 for a similar game. In terms of getting 100% achievements, it's definitely doable in the 25-30 hour range if you focus on getting all achievements per decade in career mode as you first play through them. On the other hand, if you go down the "normal first playthrough" and then grind for achievements after finishing all the career mode decades, you're probably looking more at the 30-40 hour range to complete everything.
Take F1 Through The Decades! New Star GP is a fast and exciting arcade motorsport game with crisp retro visuals. Play career mode and work your way through decades of racing while upgrading your car and your support team... or chase high scores in championship mode on your own or in split-screen with up to three friends! [url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ATReviews]Follow My Review Group Here! 💾Graphics - This game offers more vibrant, arcade style visuals. To me, I really liked it! This makes the game look simple, but really sharp and with amazing vibrant colors. The HUD looks incredibly simple and gives all the needed info without cluttering the screen. The UI in the other menus throughout the game look great! The tracks are stunning and look nicely detailed. The game looks great! It’s not visually ground breaking, and it doesn’t have to be. Overall it’s really sharp, vibrant, and has an amazing simple art style. 🎮Gameplay - New Star GP has surprisingly good gameplay! You have 3 game modes. Career mode, championship mode, and hot lap. Career mode is good fun. You start in the 1980’s and after you complete a championship, you go up another 10 years to the 1990’s and that continues until the 2020’s. You have team management like in the mainline F1 games, and you can even customize your character and F1 car (although very minor customization). You also have to upgrade your F1 car so you can keep up with your rivals through the championship. Championship mode is also good fun. You can play with friends, or against AI bots. You can choose any year of F1 cars and create your own championship with any tracks of your liking, or pick a preset championship. And then you have Hot Lap mode which is simple, just put out the best time and beat other people’s times. There are some really cool mechanics too like pitstops, tire changes and tire wear, and fuel consumption. You also have weather changes in the middle of the race which can add important strategies to win a race. My biggest complaint is the slipstream effect being a perk, which is really silly. Also the AI can be a bit weird at times. Like they sometimes slow down in corners or get in your way on the straights during qualifying. 🕛Playtime - This game can offer up to 15+ hours to complete, maybe more. You also can create your own championship against other players, or AI. I do wish the game had more track variety or even mod support, but for what’s in the game, you will have a decent amount of playtime. 🎧Sound - Sound design is okay. It’s nothing crazy or really worth mentioning. The F1 cars don’t really sound that different which is a big shame. It is cool to hear the crowds cheer as you pass by them at over 150+ MPH. The music does sound really good though! It’s upbeat and has a great arcade beat to it. ❗Bugs❗- I haven’t really encountered any bugs from this game. It ran really smoothly in terms of bugs and had no problems. You should have no problems with bugs. 🔅Performance - The game runs so perfectly! I was maxing out my framerate (240fps), and I was getting no stutters, frame drops, or crashes. I believe this game can run on any computer out there. It’s incredibly optimized. ✔️Pro’s✔️ [*]Optimized for any computer [*]Cool different camera angles [*]Vehicle damage and tire wear [*]Weather changes & Pit Strategy [*]Team management & car upgrades [*]Create your own championship [*]F1 cars from the 80’s up to the modern day [*]Character customization (although simple) ❌Con’s❌ [*]Could use more tracks [*]Slipstream is a perk (really!?) [*]AI can be a bit unpredictable at times 🏆Rating - 9/10 This game is easily worth the full price! Support these developers and buy it at full price. They earned it. 🔗Conclusion - New Star GP is a fantastic racing game! The game runs incredible, looks sharp, and has many cool F1 cars from the years that feel different from each other. My biggest complaint is just the lack of track variety, especially with the 50 years of F1 history. Yes the cars and tracks are fictional, but they fit closely to the real life counterparts. If you have a Steam Deck or just looking for a fun simple F1 game, then this is a must buy! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2217580/New_Star_GP/
That are two very important things missing (imo): 1. Penalties- the AI is dirty AF and can crash into your car or make you spin without any consequences whatsoever. Add to that the fact the you can't restart races unless you get lucky and unlock that feature and sometimes it's really frustrating. 2. Qualifying - do I even have to explain? Despite that, the game is fun and I'm enjoying it.
New Star GP embraces the spirit of classic arcade racing, capturing the energy of an earlier era while blending it with modern ideas about progression, management, and racing strategy. At first glance, its colorful low-poly aesthetic feels like a love letter to the racing games of the late ’80s and early ’90s, but beneath that visual nostalgia is a surprisingly rich motorsport experience. The game traces your driver’s journey across multiple decades of racing, beginning in the 1980s and gradually advancing through eras marked by new technologies, evolving car designs, and shifting competitive landscapes. This structure gives the career mode a sense of forward momentum, making every upgrade and every decision carry weight as you push toward higher tiers of competition. What distinguishes New Star GP from other retro-styled racers is the mixture of accessible driving mechanics and deeper managerial elements. The racing itself is intentionally simple to pick up—tight controls, quick acceleration, responsive steering—but it’s also layered with considerations that affect every lap. Tyre wear, fuel management, and component durability all play crucial roles, and mastering when to push hard or conserve resources becomes essential. Races often become a balancing act between aggressive overtaking and strategic restraint. This combination helps maintain that hit of arcade immediacy while adding the kind of decision-making that keeps races interesting well beyond the first few hours. The team management layer adds further depth and personality to the experience. Hiring staff, upgrading car components, improving pit crew efficiency, and determining which parts to prioritize in each era all contribute to the sense that you’re shaping not just a driver, but a full racing operation. These choices ripple forward through the campaign: investing heavily in one area can give you a short-term edge but might leave gaps in long-term reliability. The result is a lightweight but engaging strategic layer that complements the on-track action without overwhelming players who prefer simpler systems. It walks the line between “sim-lite” and pure arcade very effectively, offering enough depth to matter without turning the experience into a spreadsheet. Track design enhances this blend of styles. Circuits are stylized rather than hyper-realistic, but their layouts echo the rhythm and flow of famous motorsport venues. Every track emphasizes smooth racing lines, thoughtful braking points, and clever overtaking opportunities. Their vibrant colors and clean geometry give races a bright, energetic feel, but they also carry a sense of authenticity in how they challenge the player. Even with the playful presentation, completing a race cleanly feels satisfying, especially as AI drivers behave competitively enough to keep you engaged without feeling unfair. Despite its charm, the game isn’t without limitations. The lack of online multiplayer stands out in a genre where community competition often drives longevity. While local split-screen racing is welcome and fits the retro personality of the game, online play would have elevated the experience considerably. Some modes also feel underutilized outside the main career path, with certain race types and challenges appearing primarily as supplements rather than fully developed alternatives. And though the retro graphics are a deliberate stylistic choice, players looking for high-end visuals or realism may find the presentation too simplistic. Even with these caveats, New Star GP delivers a highly polished and consistently enjoyable package. The performance is smooth, the user interface clean, and the pacing of the career mode thoughtfully balanced. It’s the kind of game that encourages “one more race” sessions, not because it overwhelms you with complexity, but because it strikes that perfect rhythm between tension and fun. The overwhelmingly positive player reception speaks to how well it succeeds in delivering what it promises: an arcade racer with heart, charm, and unexpected strategic nuance. Ultimately, New Star GP stands out as a delightful hybrid of old and new. It honors the arcade racing tradition with accessible controls and bright aesthetics, while its management elements and decade-spanning structure give it depth and staying power. For players who enjoy retro racing but want more than just simple checkpoint sprints, this game offers a compelling, modernized twist on a classic formula. Rating: 9/10
I'm a sucker for racing homage games and New Star GP is no different. It's arcadey and fun. You can play it in short bursts - the longest races are six laps and many segments are shorter. No trying to imitate Forza or GT here - just quick sessions, get in and get out. In Career Mode, you get to work through four different decades (each increasing in speed/difficulty) and upgrade your car and crew. Tracks are anagrammatic of real-world F1 destinations and fans will see many familiar turns. The career progression is fair and not laborious. The low poly models are fun and not a drag on the eyes. I have some minor gripes with the AI but I've still had a blast working my way through the seasons. Split screen multi holds up pretty well also. All in all, if you like arcade racers this is will be a fun stop for you.
