really cool and accessible arcade racer :]

I wanted to play a game, and I didn't want a tutorial or an opening cutscene or an expository monologue and Hotshot Racing delivered. I did turn the dialogue volume all the way down though, because unless you're Funky Kong I don't wanna hear you hootin' and hollerin'.

Super satisfying controls and cool design. A little sparse though

Bom jogo de corrida arcade, tá no nível do Horizon Chase, mas com level design mais elaborado. Geralmente fica bem barato na Steam, então eu recomendo pra quem gosta de jogo de carrinho

It's definitely a fun arcade racing game, though I don't know if worth more than one playthrough fun.
I also recommend putting dialogue volume all the way down because why would you add le funny quirky dialogue in a fucking racing game.


It's a great multiplayer game! Really fun to pull out at a kickback. Fun, classic arcade style racing. Just not enough depth to keep you playing for a long time in singleplayer.

Hotshot Racing confirmed to me exactly what "rubberbanding" is in racing games.

Which is also to say, Hotshot Racing is an excellent racing game to experience incredibly aggressive levels of "rubberbanding."

A+ aesthetics though. Drifting feels good and going fast feels good. Pretty sure I got this for free somehow. Don't buy this.

Solid arcade racer with nice visuals and music. Not much else to say though and I don't see myself playing it more than the one GP I did, but it's not bad.

I think almost everyone owns this on PC by now due to how may times it's been bundled and given away lol

I like the artsyle but the gameplay is just a standard racing game.

Esta muy bien por el precio, mas de 15pistas mas de 15autos, las carreras se sienten bien. Logros medios complicados para el 100% pero bueno.

Another racing game. I can barely distinguish it from Horizon Chase Turbo. This one might have even fewer edges, because its art direction is not as good. I really don't know.

I really like the tracks and the mechanics but the single player campaign is over very quickly and there is no-one left online playing it. It’s a shame as it feels like it would be great with other players and there are a fair few different modes on offer.

Bought this game for my Switch during a sale. It's my second copy and I replayed the game in full. I am pretty into it but it feels a little lifeless at times. They reuse the same scenery a lot. You go in expecting something along the quality of Daytona USA or Scud race, you'll be let down like I was.

Also the drivers never shut up and turn them off.

Not a bad imitation of older racing games, but it kinda sizzles out after a short while.

Ce n'est pas vraiment ce que je cherchais.

Le jeu manque cruellement de sensations, tant sur la vitesse que les dérapages. Les collisions entre les véhicules donnent une impression de deux boites de carton qui se cogne, ça fait cheap et ce n'est pas très agréable. La difficulté est quasi inexistante, j'ai fini les 4 premiers Grand Prix en Expert sans aucune expérience préalable des circuits, ni vraiment du gameplay : il suffit d'optimiser l'utilisation de son boost et l’accélération donnée par la voiture du devant, quand il y en a.

Tout de même quelques points positifs : son prix en promo de 2€, qui donne un aspect beaucoup moins important à tout ces défauts; sa bande-son plutôt sympa; son UI vraiment bien pensé et sa direction artistique.

you love virtua racing? you'll love this one.
you don't? stay away
you don't even know what i'm talking about? well this is a super arcade racing game, one of those easy to pickup but hard to master at higher difficulties. it's simple, it's fast, it's "old" but not gold

Superb arcade racer, but it doesn't offer a tonne outside of that.

Mostly bought for my Son but I played a lot to unlock stuff for him. It's really fun, tight controls and some pretty random Tekken-esque characters "endings" which I was not expecting.

O melhor: O visual low-poly colorido é muito bonito
O pior: Rubberbanding absurdo da CPU e o deserto que é o modo online
Peça rara: Triste ver como jogos de corrida arcade andam em extinção

Hotshot Racing é um jogo de corrida arcade que remete bastante a clássicos como Daytona USA e Ridge Racer. É bem clara a proposta do jogo e eu acho que, na maior parte, ele consegue executar bem o seu papel. A estética low-poly foi uma ótima escolha, se por um lado não há tanta variedade visual nos carros, as pistas são cheias de detalhes e bem coloridas. Os controles são o que você espera de um jogo do tipo, bastante foco em drift para encher sua barra de turbo, e num geral funcionam muito bem, dando uma boa sensação de controle do carro.

O modo principal Grand Prix consiste em diferentes competições com quatro corridas cada, e o bom é que mesmo no nível Expert é possível conquistar o troféu de ouro sem necessariamente ter que chegar em primeiro nas quatro corridas. Isso é importante porque, principalmente na dificuldade mais alta, o rubberbanding é muito perceptível. O atributo de velocidade do seu carro parece ser irrelevante nessas horas, pois qualquer adversário pode te ultrapassar quando bem entender, e é meio ridículo quando você vê um outro carro um pouco mais a frente, usa um turbo e a distância permanece a mesma. É difícil entender o porquê disso, eu pelo menos considero esse tipo de desafio mais desanimador do que empolgante.

O jogo também conta com modos extras além dos tradicionais Arcade e Time Trial, como um modo polícia e ladrão e algo mais parecido com Mario Kart, só que com apenas barris explosivos. Esses modos enjoam rápido jogando contra a CPU, mas podem divertir num multiplayer, se você tiver alguém para jogar local. Infelizmente, o online de Hotshot Racing está bem abandonado, o que é uma pena pois o desafio contra outros jogadores poderia ser bem mais interessante do que contra a CPU.

Pela pouca oferta de títulos recentes desse gênero, e pelo preço ridiculamente baixo que é possível encontrá-lo, acho que vale uma conferida. Principalmente se o multiplayer local for uma opção.

For a very simple tribute to arcade racers this is very easily one of my favorite racer. I really liked the drifitng in this game, it just felt right to me, and at higher speeds doing time trials was more enjoyable than I thought, I really wish this game had more people that played it because the online would be really fun.

I really want to like Hotshot Racing. It's an unashamed tribute to the golden age of proper arcade racers, but unfortunately it's just not really that fun. Between the weird handling and the bland visual style, there's just not a lot that kept me engaged after finishing the cups a few times.

cool retro art style the actual racing is fine

This game goes hard both visually with its homage to flat shaded polygon racers as well as gameplay wise with controls that remind me of ridge racer. The only problem is that yea the single player is short and okay while the multiplayer is a ghost town. Where the heck is everybody? this game is cool and the gamemodes for multiplayer seem really fun... Guess it just doesn't have the lasting power to build a playerbase.... So what the heck are you waiting for??? Get the game and start playin it so other people can do the same this game rules its a crime there's nobody online!!!


Daytona USA meets Virtua Racing meets modern games. This racing game makes really good use of modern quality of life improvements and applies an old school Sega arcade aesthetic to the graphics.

The main racing gameplay characteristic is that drifting is an essential part of the races since they increase the boost meter, allowing for an interesting mechanic that forces the players to take drift turns at high speeds.

Overall, a solid arcade-y racing game.

The rubberbanding is awful and the voice acting is honesty annoying. It plays okay enough, but the tracks are pretty bland

played just because of waterflame music, but actually enjoyed the mechanics
