Why players love itThings to know
25% of themes are praise300 helpful reviews75% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sadly game is broken framerate wise (even after patch) and gameplay decisions make it simply fun.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
86 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The tracks are very detailed, have super nice lighting, and have some graphic designs from the Design Republic, just like in Wipeout... but the overall artstyle is more generic.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some odd mixing choices aside, the sound design is solid and the music selection is extensive, with the option to turn-off tracks you don't like (or that will get your stream content ID'd).
