It is not perfect but it is incredibly in the spirit of F-Zero GX. It's early access, Day Fucking One and I just spent two hours playing it and having a fucking blast. It's got the juice and that's what's important. I say this having played several F-Zero spiritual sequels and none of them had the juice like this one does. Also it's already got like 30 god damned tracks.
At $18 I think it's a steal. If you go in with the expectations of "Budget F-Zero GX" I think you'll get what you came for and more. An incredibly impressive start to this game.
And look, this is coming from someone who 100%'d F-Zero GX. It's one of my top 10 games. I would trade entire generations of console games for F-Zero GX. It means a lot for me to say that something even gets close to F-Zero GX.
there was an even earlier‐access demo of this some time ago, and although i wasn’t incredible at it (and i certainly didn’t grasp all the advanced mechanics), it was fun. it was easy to see that F‐Zero GX was the inspiration even though i haven’t played that game myself. but coming from someone who played the incredible Spark the Electric Jester 3 — Feperd’s last project — the thrill of the speed‐focused gameplay was very familiar. as it turns out, the guy who understands how to make a 3D Sonic game better than Sonic Team does is also going to understand how to make an F‐Zero game.
