As a fan that grew up with the Outrun series I can't love this enough. If you're searching for shiny graphics or super realistic controls then obviously this won't be your thing. If you're looking for old fashioned white knuckled skill testing, then this is going to be your jam. The regular campaign is plenty long (roughly 6 hours of content) and the DLC is only $1.99 per pack on the eShop, each with it's own roughly 4 hours of content with the extra cars. I highly recommend this to fans of arcade racers.

I think the gameplay here really has the shine of the classic super-scalar arcade games, specifically in its rollercoaster-like tightness to the controls. it's also impressive how many different tracks they stuck in here, even if many of them do not stick out after a first playthrough. what I didn't appreciate was the constant crashing (pun unintended). I don't know if other versions of the game perform better, but I was forced to reset roughly every 10 minutes, making the marathon and tournament modes completely inaccessible to me thanks to between-race crashes. even in the normal world tour mode it was infuriating, as a crash would often reset my chosen options as well. really hard for me to get past that fact, even if I'm unsure of why it performed so poorly on my machine specifically.

I did at least try to get all of the trophies is most of the areas. I didn't really appreciate having to grab coins and items on the track... that's a feature that feels a bit too "mario kart" to me. the stress to get first was not overbearing at least, other than on a select few courses where the difficulty was ramped up. I would've really enjoyed sinking my teeth into this more if, again, it didn't crash every 10 minutes.

I can't put my finger on why exactly, but this game feels so much like a mobile game that I was surprised it didn't start there. It really doesn't play much like a racing game at all, and I'm not sure why that is.

None of this is to say it isn't fun (it really is) and the extreme simplicity of both the gameplay and the presentation makes it quite addictive. It becomes a significant challenge very quickly in the campaign mode. This means replaying races many, many times to shave off less than a second with each successive run, but the races are over in just a few minutes, so I don't mind at all.

The visuals and in-game graphics are the best part of the package. It reminds me a bit of the early 2000s Capcom racer Auto Modellista, but that game tried to straddle the line between arcade racer and simulation and didn't satisfy fans of either; Horizon Chase Turbo could not be any further from a simulation game, yet doesn't feel substantial enough to be an arcade racer either.

The game is a lot of fun, but if you're looking for an experience reminiscent of the games this one is purportedly based on—Outrun, Top Gear—or something more similar to modern arcade-style racers like Burnout, I would look elsewhere. This one really plays like something else entirely.

Muy muy chulas las carreras, hay que estar pendiente en las carreras, no solo de mantenerte en la pista y evitar a la IA que es un poco cabrona, si no que además tienes que ir recogiendo gasolina para no quedarte parado (y se nota cuando no la coges).
Y si ya quieres hacerlo perfecto y obtener un trofeo y desbloquear cosas más rápido puedes recoger fichas e intentar quedar primero en todas las carreras, es fántastico, invita mucho a la rejugabilidad y no se hace para nada repetitivo.

Me encanta el sistema de progresión, usa unos puntos que se acumulan, no se gastan.
Y para pasar al siguiente país o conseguir el siguiente coche a veces tienes que mejorar algo tus marcas: coger chapitas y quedar el primero.

Los modelos son muy sencillos pero el arte se siente como un todo y no hay nada que descuadre, ni bugs o cosas raras, simple y maravilloso
