Good surprise ( Water Fix )

This is my first opinion on GOG :) I haven't finished the game yet but only played for a few hours. I came across it by chance without knowing what it was about other than what the trailer shows. I took advantage of the promo to embark on a blind discovery, it took me a few minutes to realize that the water is buggy (invisible) and that the triggers of the controller are not taken into account but I was already won over by its intense gameplay and its fluidity and its artistic direction. It's not the game of the century but a very very good Mario Kart / Wipeout like which is also playable online but above all has a rather effective AI which really allows it to offer challenges to allow you to enjoy the game 100% even alone. I found how to fix the water bug, improved controller compatibility and at the same time I also made a ReShade to modernize it (video: https://youtu.be/IEzJwP6xQSg ) For the water bug you have to use dgvooodoo2 and Xidi for controller compatibility. I often "remaster" old games, don't hesitate to follow me on YouTube, Thank you

An Unfortunately Unbalanced Mess

I really wanted to like this game seeing that it was a combat racer and we get very little of these in general nowadays. Unfortunately, the vehicles are completely unbalanced, the AI cheats like crazy, and the controls just never feel right. It definitely had a low budget, but this really needed some polishing. I could probably see a couple of people playing the multiplayer for some quick fun, but nothing more than that.

A flawed but interesting game

I'm not an expert on AIM Racing, I'm up to the first boss at the moment and while the game is quite tough there is some method to the madness. It's Vangers meets Mario Kart, more or less. The first few races avoid you trying to knock out opponents by going through their lives and instead try to get you to focus on racing and learning the tracks. Once you start getting into three lap races, you can start looking at the racers and their vehicles and choose whether combat is a viable option. Some vehicles have a lot of health and fly low, making inaccurate weapons pretty useless while others are paper thin and go super fast, some try to be jack of all trades and others seem to have no specialised role though vehicles do seem to have some benefits that aren't explained like being able to use one weapon over another or have better targeting. Even though the flying and shooting mechanics are a little basic and feel a bit janky, the entire game is based around said mechanics in a meaningful way that made it fun to take part in. I just wish I could brake better and do some cool slides. Even though the game says it supports a joystick and gamepad I never had much success with this, perhaps if you have a controller with a soft D-pad you might get some mileage out of those but I stuck to KBM with WASD movement and I used the mouse to fire but not steer. Yeah you can steer with the mouse in this game and it's not great - could be my gaming mouse settings though, so maybe an office grade mouse might work better? Graphics and sound don't blow me away, what's there is functional, I like the "you won" music though. It could have been more refined, but what's there is functional and in particular the story and vehicle designs are really out there and cool, it reminds me lot of Vangers if it was a racing game with the weird organic vehicles and the strange post-cataclysmic story setting. Worth grabbing on sale for sure if you like combat racing games and don't mind some jank.

Are the vehicles I'm driving alive?

Average game. The vehicle style is not very appealing; in fact, they look like they are cyborgs or something. It's very annoying to hit indestructible poles/walls at an angle because instead of bouncing off like in most games, sometimes you get sucked into the pole/wall, forcing you to reverse and lose a lot of time. Rubber banding is a thing in this game; you can have perfect laps, and they will still catch up to you. Also, the AI on maximum difficulty is on crack. There is a water bug, but it's easily fixable. So, in general, there's nothing special about this game. It could be better with more polishing. Buy it on sale. You can easily sink a few hours into it before moving on to another game.
