Dart Racer

It's [i]fine[/i] on Desktop/Controller. I am choosing "recommend", because I think this game [i]could[/i] be good, not because [i]it is[/i] good. Actual greatness is likely several years of development away. The good: - the track design is fun and triggers my nostalgia. - the ship designs are great visually. The meh..: - Strafing feels like an addition that exists "because other games in the genre have strafing", not because it actually adds to the gameplay experience, as it is practically useless or even harmful. - Ships are so agile that air-braking is redundant as well, trivializing the racing experience. (it's more like "chill driving" than "racing") - Textures for both ships and tracks need more love. -- I think the track is supposed to look like asphalt patches, but it just looks bad. - The OST is unremarkable at best, and actively irritating at worst. (the trailer song being the worst offender) - There are ~5 songs in the OST. - The mixed use of angular and spherical design in the UI feels aimless. - Controller navigation is clunky, the UI clearly was designed for pointer devices (mouse / VR). Some UI-buttons do nothing when using a Controller. - Ship customization applies to all ships in the garage. Want your second ship to have a different color? Too bad! The [i]bad[/i]: - The UI has extremely blurry edges and fonts. - Controls cannot be rebound. - Strafing has a "tap to boost" mechanic which is [b]the exact opposite[/b] of what briefly strafing should do, further cementing its status as useless.
