No Better Spiritual Successor to Wipeout

I'm a huge Wipeout fan since the 90s and am always hungry for more. When I came across this on Steam I was so excited. This game manages to capture that same energy and take it further. Way further. Don't be fooled. It's not a Wipeout clone. It stands on its own feet. But absolutely does well with the inspiration it has taken from the classic WO series. Gameplay gets brutally fast as you progress. You'll probably rage quit a bunch too, but the real fun begins when you come back to kiss and make up and get back to practicing. Speedlap mode will be your best friend. There is so much customization. If the campaign got you down, you can enjoy racing however you want in custom racing. If you get into the nitty gritty you can even design your own custom campaign. If you've ever wanted to create your own tracks and ships, this game will let you. It does require some additional knowledge of modeling, as well as the use of Unity, etc, but its an excellent playground for these things. For me it was a dream come true to be able to do this stuff when all I knew was Wipeout. (if only i had more time as an adult) The music is freakn sweet, but you also have the option to create your own playlist folders to race to your own tunes. This is especially nice when you want to hone your skills on Speedlap mode. There is so much added content from what it was even a few years ago. Pretty sure the dev has no chill when it comes to getting things done. Also rumored that he does it all for peanuts, but I cannot confirm this. Again, expect to get beat down when you get further in the game, but these challenges are humanly possible to overcome with practice. And if you do practice it's very rewarding to be able to pilot through tracks at blazing speeds. Hopefully you find it enjoyable like I did.
