Very far from being a 100% polished game, but holy hell is it fun. Sitting down and playing with my sister has been a complete blast, and even though some cars are objectively better than others (Cleaning Bot...,) you can still make up for it with skill. The serotonin from getting a skip through some large chunks of the map.... God it feels good. Balance-wise though there are a few issues, especially with Reisen, and we're missing best girl Patchy as a fumo but I'm sure they'll work on it more in the future :)

I won't mention much from this game due to not wanting to spoil this amazing experience, but it's incredibly charming, the combat is simple yet fun, and the story is amazing. This is one of the few games out there that has managed to make me genuinely cry, more than once, too, it's just so good. I felt connected to all the main characters in this game. Even if this kind of combat isn't everyone's cup of tea, at the very least it's not difficult, so it's not that hard to just cruise through and witness this beautifully hand-wrought story, from start to finish. Every second of it is worth it. I have yet to finish playing all the routes, but I'll get to it one day.
