For all the charm that comes from the Final Fantasy and Chocobo universe, through its characters and the music, the lack of tracks and the awful driving cannot save this game.

The few positive aspects of the game are the story, goofy and fun, and the characters with their different skills, though a lot of similar skills just reskinned.

All the kart racing aspect of the game is terrible. The tracks are extremely small and we have 3 to 4 variations of the same tracks, limiting the different environments to a very small number.
The driving itself lacks precision and weight, but the worse part are the items. They are totally unbalanced and have way too much impact on the race. The stun if you get hit will make you go down in place by a lot and since the races are so short you can't really recover.
At the end of the day the racing depends a lot on your luck, and that's not the way I enjoy racing games.

Finally, the multiplayer tuned exclusively toward GP mode, means that you will always play with randoms, and even if you find some people who are a good competition, you will not see them again. No point at all in the multiplayer, except to max out an unrewarding Battle Pass.

Really hard to recommend this game for anything more than 10$. The story and characters are good enough for that price.
