Great speedrunning potential And replayability of course I ended up going for all the S Ranks and all of the courses and it was incredibly fun maybe just a bit too easy.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
93 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is also much better than base Generations, not a high bar to clear, but still worth mentioning.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
44 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics in the game are decent, very clean, without being anything exactly cutting edge.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Last recommendation if you really love game soundtracks/ost Play with the headset You would be surprised on some of the moments that you'd see in this game that has an enhanced quality just with the headset!
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Very well optimized I had an FPS Counter up Whole time playing never seen a single significant drop below 55FPS Couple this with That i played the entire game Without a single Crash And you a solid optimized game especially compared to today's standards!
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Stages feel like the appropriate length and have a fair level of difficulty (You will likely not get an S rank in all of them in one go).
