  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate a mixed reception regarding the game's story. Some users note that the game lacks a traditional narrative, while others appreciate the blend of hyperreal animation with classic storytelling elements in its remake, despite the absence of songs.

    • “✅ 0 (no story)”

  • replayability
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is generally viewed as low, with some users noting that certain tracks can be completed quickly, leading to a lack of incentive to replay. While a few players find it infinitely replayable, the overall consensus leans towards a limited replay value.

    • “Infinitely replayable (or almost)”

    • “A little racing game with practically no replay value.”
    • “Is it replayable?”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn criticism for retaining in-game purchases from its mobile version, which some players find inappropriate given the game's price point on PC. Many feel that the presence of "premium" versions and additional purchases detracts from the overall experience, especially since the game is not priced as a budget title.

    • “I am surprised they even kept these in-game purchases in the PC version.”
    • “However, seeing in-game purchases or 'premium' versions is not good.”
    • “Only if the game was incredibly cheap, but it is not. That is why I am surprised they even kept these in-game purchases in a PC version.”

  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find grinding to be tedious and unengaging, preferring to experience the game organically rather than being bogged down by excessive reading or preparation. This sentiment highlights a desire for a more intuitive learning process that allows for natural adaptation to game mechanics.

    • “I really dislike grinding; it's tedious and takes away from the enjoyment of the game. I usually don't bother with it because I want to experience the game first and then adapt my knowledge to new features like boosters and breakers.”
