Formula Retro Racing

Formula Retro Racing describes itself with its own name. Formula describes the cars, the game is retro in graphic style and the core gameplay which is an easy guess...racing. The cars handle well and the overall experience is very nostalgic and this game is a by the book replica of famed arcade racing games with refined low poly graphics. I think this game sought out to achieve a retro feeling arcadey racing game and achieved it on many levels. The game offers several ways to get into racing Arcade style, Grand Prix solar or Multiplayer or you can freely practice the courses if you wish. The game comes with 8 very solid and almost familiar tracks which is very reasonable for the price point. There are several tracks to unlock depending on the mode. I do wish there were more things to unlock in the game and I wouldn’t be disappointed to see more tracks or variations and options of the 8 that come with it. The graphic style is a low poly high res style which gives the game a great feel and contributes to the overall experience. Your car has a damage meter that will explode if you damage it too much, and even better when you do you get these great cut scenes that turn the screen to grayscale and slows, I almost expect the infamous “wasted” to pop up on screen but either way I enjoy it. The only thing I found annoying was that the volume setting did not affect the menu volume at all. Otherwise I found the experience to be light and quick, and easy to jump in and out of, or play extended period of time in the Grand Prix mode. Always chasing that gold! The game has no frills or deep customization but exudes charm from the low poly trees and tires, and retro hype arcade music to the simple color scheme choices, all that would strike a chord deep with fans of retro arcade racing games. I certainly think there is room to add things but I think as is, rings true to the retro name. The experience is nostalgic with a touch of refinement and polish since the 90’s and even offers 4-person local multiplayer! It's a gem!

[h1] Core gameplay is there, the content sadly isn't [/h1] AI desperately needs an Overhaul. Having to clean overtake all 19 opponents, doesn't necessarily need to be a frustrating task. It will be. If AI decides to be unpredictable, or when it decides it won't give way when being overtaken. There cant be pacing to this game if Ai doesn't drive consistently. How it slows down drastically on wide corners, but somehow manages to cut through the inside of the tight turns, not even taking the apex. Just straight ahead, and they will ram me out of the way on higher difficulty, just to be extra unpleasant. The fact that you can be in 1st place and still lose a race, because some car crashed into you and now you cant reach the next checkpoint in time [b] Most of these problems are more prevalent on hard difficulty [/b] then again, if you go through easy difficulty. The content won't last you more than 1 hour

Honestly a solid game I don't understand all the poor reviews other than the price of the game is quite a bit for a game like this feeling slightly unfinished but if you are to pick this up in a sale this is honestly a great single-player game to pass the time and enjoy with numerous game modes and attempting to master it.

muy buen juego....se nota la dedicacion y las ganas de hacerlo

Joguei bastante com o meu irmão, recomendo muito pra quem curte algo mais ''casual'' pra se jogar com amigos e parentes.

Formula Retro Racing is odd. It is designed like Arcade Racers of old and plays near perfectly with reactive suspension physics. However it feels as if its focus on Arcade Racers of the late 90's is also the reason as to why AI cars feel janky to race against as they jitter on their racing lines, swerve in front of you during an overtake or follow the racing line to a T without any deviation, Honestly after the first two races this jank made each race feel the same, as if I was playing dodge & weave rather than racing. Formula Retro Racing has a great visual identity with vibrant colours and tracks that feel great to race on just without the AI to trouble you or lessen the experience. I wouldn't recommend it at full price even though it is cheap thanks to this jank and lack of variety in Formula designed cars (there's only 1 with color changes) HOWEVER it is worth a play through of its Arcade, Grand Prix & practice modes when the games on sale.
