Post v2.2 log:
After some very, VERY much needed patches and changes, mainly with singleplayer and gameplay, Ring Racers went from a game I had mixed to negative thoughts will little praise, to a game I can finally feel satisfied playing without feeling cheated or punished.

Likewise, some notable issues, like certain tracks having questionable designs and Cpus, while nerfed, feel they still have the upper leg and will sporadically speed up way beyond your capabilites because the game said so.

Outside of that, while not perfect, I shall look forward to the future of this game, and the potential new content and updates it has in store

I hate this game, no kiddin'
I hate it and I love it, but in terms of the main bulk of it (single player, Grand Prix, Tutorial, etc.) it a massive middle fingers for those looking to have a fun time playing a proper single player racing game, especially since SRB2K lacked one besides time attack.

Cpus/Rivals cheat with frantic items, better boosts and rubberbanding up the ass, Tracks can range from being insanely fun, to straight up torture, yet this won't matter since Cpus will just cheat through the maps, making the experience even worse no matter how good they are. and the ranking system and points deducitons from retrying or failing to win a race is just demotivating. The icing on the cake is the many unlockables behind single player, including stuff like Online and Addons! (Who thought this was a good idea)

BUT, even with this being said, looking past...well, basically the entire package of the game, the "game" itself it actually really fun and the new mechanics are really fun to learn, only thing I'm not fond of is the trick system, which simultaneously, is kind meh AND is barely utilized in the tracks themselves, almost as if it was a last-minute addition to this badly mixed game.

I have hopes soon this game gets the updates and patches it needs to make the game fun, but till then...idk.
