Tried my best to fill out all the games I've finished in pre-2023 but there are no doubt many, many games I missed. Every game from 2023 however is logged accurately as I previously had notes of the date and time I had finished them in 2023.

First off, I got this game from this perpetual Steam game giveaway which I highly recommend checking out!
Anyways this game is...not great. It just doesn't feel too good. I'm not super good at kart racers or racers in general really, but I wanted something to fill the Mario Kart gap on my Steam Deck and this works kinda. I also will say the I consider playing every track beating the game which is what I did.
The game has some incredibly uninspired level design with only one being kind of memorable being one Egyptian themed level which there are a weirdly high amount of? Anyways, the levels as a whole just are very uninteresting. They have very basic twists and turns and no map to see what they look like overhead, making them seem more arbitrary and bland. Yet this isn't the main issue as I think that belongs to the general feel of the game.
Overall the acceleration and turning feels pretty good, actually. Some of the items are pretty decent as well, though definitely not all. That's more or less where the positives end however as the game has some weird issues. If you drive into another kart you kinda just attach to it and stay behind it as opposed to how it feels like there's a wedge in front of you in something like Mario Kart that keeps that from happening. You can also just get stuck on a wall, forcing you to have to back away from the wall the start accelerating again afterwards. This bit is mostly fine actually, just not what I'm used to in a kart racer and feels very punishing. The 'checkpoints' are also very odd. For example, if you drive off the track, instead of the game putting you forward away from the obstacle you will be put at the beginning of it and forcing you to attempt it again, breaking the pace of the race. Finally, the drifting feels super odd to me. There's times the game will just randomly stop you from drifting if you nearly drive off a ledge. It can feel very frustrating and feel like you don't have proper control over your kart when things like this happen.
This is a pretty slapshot review I'm aware but there's just so much wrong with this game that it's hard to organize my thoughts. Overall, this game just isn't great and I recommend you play another Kart racer even if you're a Garfield fan or something. Hopefully if they make a third game it's better than this one.

Fun silly DLC and a better co-op experience than the other one. Josh was very funny and it felt like he was only there because nobody else could be at the time. Troy and I also skipped the first cutscene because it was seemingly the same as the main game, but after getting into the DLC...I don't think it was. I don't care enough to know though. I recommend with a friend.
Meh. This game is meant to be played solo with co-op as a huge afterthought I think. The role played by Jill is a lot more important than the role played by Chris hence I think Troy and mine's difference of opinion even though we played together. He didn't realize that he could let me into a room at the beginning of the mansion so there was just a large amount of time with me waiting while he tried to figure out the piano. Overall, it's fine. It's not scary at all and the slow opening doors do not work in co-op at all and are just incredibly annoying. I love how the game makes you feel powerless, but I don't like that with Wesker you just have to wait because there is nothing indicating that's what you have to do, unlike the main game where he says seven minutes.
