What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Although the limited scope of the game precludes it from being a substantial time sink, the presentation and speed of the gameplay ensures a fun time scrambling for the last bit of sunlight, no matter how brief each session may be.
Race the Sun delivers compelling gameplay, pleasant visuals and just enough content variety to warrant revisiting it and chasing down high-scores.
A significant part of the atmosphere comes from the soundtrack.
Runs amazing on Linux, tho Dualshock 3 controller doesn't seem to work, even after adjusting the in-game settings (it does work in SuperTuxKart and steam controller test.)
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 4 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
