This feels especially appropriate for an arcade racer, where immediate competition can be more entertaining than complicated online progression systems.

57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combined with the incredible synthwave soundtrack, the atmosphere of Slipstream is nostalgic and dreamy.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics and music are great, like in Outrun, although the music sounds like retrowave or whatever it's called, unlike the soundtrack of Outrun, which does not.

Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Steam Deck compatibility is a major advantage because the game is Steam Deck Verified.

Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Local multiplayer is another significant strength, supporting races with as many as four players through split-screen competition.
