Slipstream

Honest game, you get what you pay for. Fun and can run on anything. Recommended for fans of the genre

-- Since GOG won't accept more the 2000 characters, you can check my full review on my blog if you want. https://analisedasobras.blogspot.com/2019/10/slipstream-english-review.html Here is a brief summary -- Despite its retro style, this is one of the most fun modern racing games I've ever played. It is one of those that are born classic. It was heavily inspired by Outrun, but it doesn't feel like you are playing Outrun or a direct sequel. It feels more like a game made in the 90's for Sega CD or one of those classics EA games made for Mega Drive. Both gameplay and artistic's choises feels like reminiscent of a bunch of games made by Sega, or at least made for Sega's consoles. I could feel also elements borrowed from Road Rash, Crazy Taxi, California Games and the list goes on. I think that the driftings should have reminded me NFS: Underground or any other game, but it actually reminded me Speed ​​Racer a lot (both the Wachoswki siblins film and its game adaptation), some tracks you just run sideways. It is like this: imagine if the Hollywood phisics were right. And as I love both Speed Racer film and game I was glad to feel this feeling. I also felt some nostalgic feeling of playing Atari's Enduro, I don't know why, pure nostalgia.

Good game but i like too see more content , more tracks and music will be nice .

I was hesitating for quite a long time before buying this title, yet my lust for outrun-ish game won. I truly don't regret, as all those negative reviews revealed as untrue. ...well, mostly. This game offers a virtue trip to early 90s in terms of graphics, music, menus, well-thought settings, song selection, sound, postprocessing effects and filters and many more. And of course, if not the most important - gameplay. It must be noted that this was the biggest problem in most critiques. Yes, games in 90s WERE hard. Since the developers had very strict limitations set by the amount of data carried by the media (in early 90s it happened to be 3.5" floppy with 1.44 MB), the lack of gigantic contents of entire open worlds was filled with (many times insane) difficulty. In case of Outrun or Crazy Cars (3 for me) the game mechanics was not aimed at real driving simulation, but rather "how many rivals can you catch up before section ends?" This mechanic is contained in Slipstream, which makes it 100% tribute to the genre, even extending it with interesting "slipstream" feature. Slipstream offers very nice wrap-up of early racing arcades so it can be easily consumable by today's gamers. Nostalgic graphics with smooth rendering and up-to-date resolutions, old-fashioned 80s music with no bad aftertaste of PC speaker or midi and simple, easy to understand, hard to master, mindless gameplay. No, this game may not be for everyone, but if you felt like having fun playing very old, simple yet hard games, grab this! + graphics + music + menus + gameplay mechanics + nostalgia + filling gap after Outrun-ish games vanished + almost everything has a scent of well-thought ideas from loving gamer dev - game modes are not well described - only one player can play on keyboard at a time (others must use gamepads) - speech bubbles are kinda distracting - track sections are short PS: I didn't play Horizon Chase Turbo, but it seems to target on wider, less nostalgic gamers. Uncomparable.
