Extremely unpolished

I expected more from the trailers and screenshots. Grabbed it while it was 85% off and I'm still not sure if it was worth it... For every minute of racing, there was another minute of fighting with the world's clunkiest UI. I know my review looks super whiny, but it's very hard to convey just how it destroys the player experience. I don't think this game has any MAJOR issues. The racing itself is... fine. Nothing extraordinary honestly. The campaign looks long and varied enough. Could be a fun game. However it suffers from a thousand minor problems that get in your way at every step. 1. Couldn't even get it to run at first. Needed to do some tinkering. Check out the game forum here on GOG if you also have trouble getting it to work. 2. No player profiles. Not even naming your character. The game just grabs your PC name (or rather, the first 5 letters thereof) and puts it for everyone to see. And for you to see on the leaderboards every 2 minutes. 3. NO PLAYER PROFILES. It's a bigger problem than it sounds. If your brother wants to play, he's gonna continue your campaign or erase your progress. If he wants to paint a car his way, he has to modify one of yours. 4. The worst UI I've ever seen in a racing game, and I played some pretty darn old games. Unplayable with just a pad or keyboard because some menus are only selectable by mouse. Text rarely fits the windows, you must do some minuscule scrolling every time. Looks amateurish. 5. Early in the campaign you race against 4 opponents and are required to finish top 8 to advance. ...What? 6. Surprisingly huge variety of cars with their own stats. Should be a plus, not a minus, right? Yeah... but you've gotta select your car by clicking an arrow, scrolling through them one by one lol. Yes, with your mouse. Makes comparing their stats a nightmare too. 7. Useless (unfinished?) tutorial which doesn't even tell you that you can jump or that you have nitro, but feels the need to overexplain every possible pickup... And the text quickly disappears on its own, hope you're a fast reader. 8. Many game modes are more or less point based. The scoring of course isn't explained anywhere. The 'Ultimate Race' mode is the biggest offender. Most of the time the scoring worked my way, with me getting points and climbing ranks for God knows what... That's actually annoying in its own unique way. You know, when scoring feels random, it kinda undermines the whole concept of scoring, no? 9. The last straw for me was the "rivalry" system in the campaign, which theoretically lets you form long-term rivalries with certain AI drivers , at least according to the manual. So in my playthrough, I somehow formed rivalry with bot UNKNOWN... So it's a buggy mess that doesn't deserve such a long review and certainly doesn't deserve its price.

A simple strategy game.

I bought it 80% off and it felt like a right price. Played some games against AI one evening and that's it. Never really felt the need to play it again. What's here is a pretty competent game with a competent AI and nice, simplistic presentation. It's not bad by any means, but... I'm sorry but there are so many strategy games on the market that I just don't see a reason to recommend it to anyone, other than the reason I bought it myself: trying out a random cheap game out of curiosity after playing dozens of other games from this genre. It's really hard to make strategy and simplicity mix.

Pee Run

My favourite game of the genre. Great progression system, distinct classes. And oh my God, a customisable difficulty system? I can adjust it however I want!? So I don't need to spend 20 hours one shotting everything on easy difficulty before I encounter the first challenge!?!? Finally! Was an easy 5/5, but then you hear how one of the major characters in the game - Perun - is pronounced as Pee Run. And you hear it A LOT. Disagree if you want, but this is my review I do honestly think this is enough to lower the rating by 1, because you just can't take this grim world and its story seriously anymore when you hear 'pee run' multiple times in a dialogue. And storytelling is an important part of this game, so yeah. My other complaint is the multitude of collection quests where you need to seach the area to collect tiny gray items on a gray background, and sometimes you are required to find ALL of them, so you can't miss even one! :) The game's tone is also all over the place. No spoilers, but in one mission, the narration ends on a depressing note about how many soldiers died in vain. The next mission is literally named 'Saving Private Brian'. Ok so we're cracking jokes now? Apart from that, I feel that the game is longer than it needs to be, especially given its huge replayability (though that's subjective) and I find Katarina too b*tchy and annoying, but I suppose that's subjective too. And these are ALL the complaints I have about this game, which should make it clear why I think it's so great. The character progression system is pure gold. The best I've ever seen in a game. Be it early game or late game, you constantly unlock fun things to add to your arsenal. And I don't mean some +0,1% crit bonuses. I mean actual skills that change your gameplay.

Full of action

This game knows what it wants to be: a crazy piece of mindless fun. And it delivers perfectly. It's an action-packed third person shooter with spectacular moves, some ridiculous superpowers, and over the top silliness. And then there's music, of course. Calling it just a cherry on top would be a serious understatement. Game features a unique headshotting mechanic. It's not about precision at all, but about timing. You hold the right mouse button, and left click in the brief moment the crosshair turns yellow. Chaining kills grants you superpowers, each more stupid than the other. Summon a bazooka-wielding skeleton? Sure, why not. The main story isn't super long, but as long as it needs to be, and even somewhat competent, which is more than what I'd expect from a game of this kind. You can freeroam to find upgrades to your max health, bullet time and weapon skill which allows to dual-wield more weapon types. These are all very minor upgrades, a completionists thing more than anything else. Sidequests generally revolve around getting a high enough score through combos and chained kills to pass. If you're too boring with your gunplay, you can fail even if you clear all enemies. Unfortunately there are also driving sidequest, and driving in this game is abysmal. There are 3 difficulty levels. Easy is easy, normal is normal, hard is hard. As it's supposed to be. Surprisingly many games fail at giving the player a meaningful choice here. An easy 5/5 from me. Main complaints are driving and the shooting itself may get repetitive after a while, but that's what the highscore milestones are for, to provide a goal.

Not for perfectionists

A very simple, fun, chaotic and challenging game. Tracks are designed to be annoying on purpose with many creative obstacles. Dogs, pedestrians, soldiers - everybody is out to get you. And of course there are the opponents. Bumping into them will send them flying, but they can do the same to you. This game features the most absurd rubberbanding I've seen in a racing game. You can lag 1 minute behind and still win the race. But honestly, it's required, because you will be flying off the track a lot, so the game gives you ample chances to recover. The controls are responsive and physics are good, although chaotic. Every smallest pebble is a hazard and sometimes you're not even sure why your toy car ended on its roof. Races are long. 5-8 minutes long. Perhaps it would be unthinkable in other racing games, but here something interesting is happening all the time and it honestly feels just fine. The Championship mode consists of 10 tracks, unlocked in order of simplest to most complex. After each race you get money and score. How much you get depends on track difficulty and your final placing. Money is spent on upgrades - tires, engine and nitro. The simplest upgrade system imaginable. Score is cumulative and is needed to unlock the next tracks. You don't need to place 1st in a race to unlock the next track, you can "grind" the score by replaying the tracks multiple times. The last, 10th track is the exception, you need to WIN at least once on every previous track to unlock it, which is something I simply cannot do. The later levels are seriously hard. and opponents appear to drive better too. One complaint I have, and the reason I only give 4 stars, is the confusing layout of some tracks. Sometimes you simply must know the track by heart and know where you're supposed to turn. I don't think that avoiding getting lost should be part of the challenge. Music is 10/10 and a great part of the charm of this game.
