Slipstream is a terrific game, and cheap to boot. It is the ultimate evolution of the super scaler tech of my youth.

Critic Reviews
Slipstream Review
Slipstream’s retro design feels a little by-the-numbers to us (its cool 2D/3D visual effect aside), but that’s not to say it doesn’t pull off the mechanics well. It shouldn’t be the first game in your retro racing collection with the likes of Sega Ages Out Run and Horizon Chase Turbo already available, but if you’ve played through those and are itching for more then you could do a lot worse than this, especially given its modest price.

Slipstream is a game for those who fondly remember Outrun.

Slipstream expands on the time-tested Outrun formula and dips it in a synthwave-flavored coating. Its gameplay might seem simple at first, but it provides a challenge that harkens back to the days of the quarter-munching greats.
