1985. I remember this Year very good. It was the Year, the TITANIC was finally found and the Year the Vulcan Nevado del Ruiz broke out and killed over 25.000 People. Remembering Armero…. So much more happened, it was a turbulent Year. But for me it was also a special Year. Going to the 5th Class of School i convinced my Parents with a big wish, they finally make coming true. 1985, the Year where i got my Commodore 64. I still own him today and yes, he is still working. Brave little Friend over the Years. You may ask me, what does this have to do with this Game? I tell you. It was the Beginning of Gaming Passion and it started with Games like this. Welcome to SYNTHWAVE DREAM `85. Games in 1985 were simpel. Gaming was in still in Chilrden Shoes. High End Games like today were just utopic Dreams. Most Games were short. But there was also one Genre that depends on the Player, how long it takes. The Endless runner Genre. The Goal was not to reach the End, the Goal was to get as much Points as you can get to beat the Highscore or your Friends. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2369192659 SYNTHWAVE DREAM ´85 is absolutly wonderfull for a kid of the 80´s like me. Excellent Retro Graphics with an amazing Old School Screen Effect, just like youre standing in Front of an old Arcade Automat and that absolutly, amazing, fantastic Music. In the Beginning you have the Choice of 2 Modes. The Normal one and the Death one. In the normal you just drive the Road to gather as much Points as you can. In the Death Mode you do the same … but …. well … i should mention that Giant Skull that is following you. So dont make too much mistakes or he will reach you and you know waht that means? Game Over! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2369193941 The Landscapes your Road goes through are Randomly generated. Everytime. You will not drive the same Roads again, but many parts looks similar. The Landscapes look absolutly cool and in connection with that awesome Music it perfectly brings back the Spirit of the 80s. And that goes also for the Driving Mechanics….. and i didn´t mean it in a bad Way. Keep in Mind that realistic Driving Feeling like in Todays Games was also a little bit Utopic. But as long as it is Fun, it doesn`t matter. It is a habituation thing. Learning by Loosing or Dying. Also keep in Mind that you get Points if you drift with your Car. The longer you drift, the more Points you get. They are also Checkpoints with a counter. The faster you reach them, the more Points you also get. And keep in mind, you are not under Time Pressure of loosing the whole Game like in OUTRUN. If the Checkpoint Counter reaches Zero you just get Zero Points and can drive on. But there are 3 things you must also keep in mind. Of you leave the Road too long, a countdown will start. If you you are not back on the Road in Time, you loose. And the second thing, you have a Health Bar. If this reaches Zero, you also loose. But, don´t worry, from time to time, there were Repairing Tools on the Road. And last not least, you have unlimited Boost. But like in real Life if you boost to long, your Car goes Boom. Use it wisely. Also earn Money to get new Cars or change the Style of your Active Car. Play alone or with Friends. Get maximum fun! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2369194527 So if you want to have a little Look on what the 80´s Generation played in the Past, if you like cool Retro Graphics and typical 80´s Synthie Music, that together in an endless runner , just drive, enjoy and make Points, then this is for you. A very big thanks to the Dev, a one Man Team. Who did a really great job. Thank you very, very much. And thank YOU for Reading.

I really like this little game, its not a Triple A game tittle if that’s what your after, but a good time waster that’s quick and fun to play with great visuals. It is in early access so there is a couple of issues but its still fun to play. And If you love your synth music, you have to get this. This is also created by a single person, so get in and support someone who is trying to generate a bit of fun in the world.
It has an absolutely awesome soundtrack, but some of the worst driving mechanics of any racing game ever.
Neat little game here. Next to Rebel Galexy, this is a pretty fun and trippy game to play when under the influence. The Visuals are amazing and the music is good as always. So yeah, this is not a raceing game, it is more of a drifting game. You have to stay on the track and at times, if you fall off you cannot get back on. Huge bummer.
ITA Se non avete mai sofferto di epilessia state sicuri che l'esposizione prolungata a sto gioco ve la causerà. Dimenticate outrun, se ci avete pensato, non c'entra nulla. Somiglia più ad un audiosurf con la macchina. Modalità di gioco insulse e senza personalità. ENG If you have never suffered from epilepsy, be sure that prolonged exposure to this game will cause it. Forget outrun, if you thought about it, it has nothing to do with it. It looks more like an audiosurf with the car. Silly and personalityless game modes.
I want to love this game. I'm the right age for this kind of thing to get me right in the feels. But in it's current form it has 2 horrible flaws that make it unplayable. 1. Turning doesn't f*&^*@# work! I am using an Xbox controller and no matter what I hit the car just goes straight. I got the same result with an XBox 360 controller, Hori Fighting Commander and Dualshock 3 Windows treats as an Xbox controller. As an angry man once said: "What's the important part of any game? Well, being able to f*#$&@# play it!" The keyboard is not an acceptable alternative. 2. Scanlines cannot be disabled. Scanlines on a real CRT naturally become part of the picture, but any attempt to force them never looks the same on a modern display. When someone figures out a way to make modern panels look like my Sony Trinitron TV or Trinitron computer monitor, then we can talk about not having an option to turn them off. I own several retro-style racing games and love them all differently. Hopefully with some basic tweaks this will become one of them. It looks a e s t h e t i c af and should be right up my alley.
This is a long-in-development Early Access casual single-player "racing" game (more like an endless runner) leveraging the overdone Synthwave movement. Drive one of several low poly used-without-permission 1980's car designs to drive along a low poly/neon environment while listening to Synthwave music. First with the good stuff, there's proper 4K support and even a few graphics tweaking options (first thing anyone will want to do is disable the ugly CRT effect and scanlines). That's also where we run into the first big problem... while there's an option to disable the ugly scanlines (why do developers keep doing this crap), it doesn't work, so you're stuck with ugly screen effects. The real kicker is that the game maps PC game controllers like racing wheels/HOTAS as if they are console peasant kiddy gamepad toys, making the car steer constantly to the left. There's no way to turn this off, but it does make the game unplayable. A bit of testing on any serious gaming PC would have picked that up. $7.50 is just way too much to pay for a game with this many bugs/design flaws, maybe if they get fixed and the game leaves early access/development hell, I'll revisit the review, but for now, I couldn't in good conscience recommend this to anyone.
Solid game good for synthwave fans
