Horizon Chase Turbo is an arcade racing game released in 2018. and is heavily inspired by the SNES game, Top Gear.
If you play the Campaign mode, you will experience almost all of the content in this game. The only thing that needs more of your time to be unlocked so that you've access to everything this game has to offer are the Tournaments and Endurance modes. which upon finishing them, you will receive the last cars available in this game.
It offers a great amount of content when keeping in mind how many tracks and cars this game contains. The fuel system adds depth to the game. How fast you use fuel depends on the stats of your car and to not finish the race without fuel you have to collect fuel canisters along the track which are located always in the same spot.
Also, you will notice that during some races the weather changes, from clear to rainy. Unfortunately, rain and snow look terrible if you take your eyes off the road to watch them.
I also find this game highly frustrating not only because of how unforgivable the crash physics are (if you find yourself between several cars and one of them bumps into you, you will become a pinball ball, losing several places as every bump you take along the way makes you more and more slower than before), but also how the AI defends themselves (they often, especially the one in 1st place, track your movement and try to block you so that you hit him in the rear, making him a bit faster while you lose a great amount of speed), even though there is no rear view in this game.
Unfortunately there is no online multiplayer, only splitscreen. If online multiplayer was added, this game would be a bit more enjoyable.
I managed to finish the Campaign with 100%, all gold trophies and all tokens collected (tokens found on the track), but after that, I didn't want to go through the same frustration one or two times more by driving the same tracks on harder game modes. This game has a lot to offer and it's overall decent for those who want to relive the good old days of arcade racing games (like Outrun, Top Gear and Hang-On) or for those like myself, who didn't have the chance to be alive at that time to play them.
