Gotta say, I'm actually quite surprised with this entry of the series, both in gameplay and length. A Metroidvania-esque game is not what I was getting myself into with this, but boy was I pleasantly surprised. Well designed levels, a nice gameplay loop, and overall a really fun and ongoing game. Some enemy placements/dangers were a bit unfair & game can sometimes become a slog with trying to get back or to certain areas without hitting something. That, and while the hints for the game can be helpful, some are fairly cryptic, and going out of order is possible & can lead to all sorts of complications on where to go and such.
Overall, A really solid Wario Land game, probably one of my favs next to WL4 & World.

comedy.
This is a game. yep, better than the first, but not by a long shot.
at least its shorter, at a tad bit more forgiving with items

Gotta say, I was quite welcomed with this remake, turning a catastrophe of a game, into something that's quite enjoyable to play.
visually and music are spectacular, a pretty game through and through, and controls have definitely been refined to help counter the poor level design that the original game had. with new levels, revamped bosses, and some quality of life bits like infinite lives and quicker progression.
This is one hell of a glowup to the og, and I'm just astonished.

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.

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

They took a Movie where the entire concept was all about Video games and how they interlink with each other, turned that said movie into an actual video game brimming with ideas, and made it the most dogshit & dry ass game imaginable. How is that even possible

Solid, Sweet & short! This was such a charming and fun game with great music, gameplay, and characters. was leaning quite a bit on the difficult side with little hit points tied to a fairly big hitbox, especially with bosses. but it was overall a good challenge to an otherwise short and sweet game. really excited to check out the next game
