Good game, but who would buy a separate DLC just to listen to custom music when they could simply mute the in-game music and play their own on Spotify?

A nice relaxing game, where hitting a car ends your run. It works good on steam deck, despite having incompatable tag. It lacks polish however, menu navigation and ui is confusing. Music ends when you restart the run. It could be a much better game with some polish.

This shit is fun to play if you have no Internet Connection, so basically don't focus on that Calculus class and play this more rewarding game.

Yes, this game is literally just driving straight while trying to dodge cars. Yes, I have played this for 30 hours (so far). It's very meditative actually and has helped clear my mind many times. It's also good to play while talking to someone or listening to something when you don't feel like playing an intense game. Love the '80s vibes and the retrowave music. The little soundtrack that plays when you unlock a car is just so pleasant as well. The cars themselves are neat, there's something for everyone. Some I don't like, but there's quite a few that I do like. A bit of customization is available for them as well, with NO micro-transactions. The glowing tires are my favorite. Also like having the option of removing the VHS effect, as it bothers me if I don't have the option to turn it off in a game. Literally the only issue I have is that the UI is a bit temperamental if you don't want to use a mouse. It's hard to get the game to select "re-try" when you crash. I accidentally backed out to the menu a million times while doing this. It's also hard to tell if something is turned on or not in the settings, since it is indicated by color and not by an "on" or "off" indication or anything. Highly recommend this if you like retrowave vibes, or if you like more simple arcady-games. I now drive like this in real life. Just kidding. Maybe.
