Horizon Chase Turbo

I wasnt big into arcade racers back in the day, so there wasn't much nostalgia going in. After playing thru its 'campaign' and going back to complete its challenges, i feel like i missed out on a whole era. I would describe the feel of driving in this game as tight, heavy, yet fast and dangerous. The fast animation requires quick reflexes. Learning to get a feel for the cars and the handling is key, once you get into the rhythm it is addicting. It keeps you coming back just so you can feel that rush. Add in one of the best retrosynth soundtracks and you certified goal. one of my favorite games to come back to. The only reason for the negative review is the developer was bought by epic and took their game off of steam. its a shame.

[b]HORIZON CHASE TURBO[/b], is a classic old school arcade racer with exactly what you would come to expect, with nothing being left out. There is a campaign but this game focuses on getting you right into the game. All you have to do is pick your car, race track, and you get to racing! You race across beautiful pseudo-3D raster race tracks, where the car slightly turns for you, but all that stands between you and first is your own skill. There are so many tracks that house heart racing fun. The collectibles in each track give you some replayability, but with so much content, especially with the DLCs you will have lots of completionist things to do. The biggest downside is that car bumping can be very punishing and VERY frustrating at times. [b]PROS[/b]: - Good old raster racer - So much simple content: car, tracks, backgrounds - Beautiful landscapes - Runs great - Split-screen coop [b]CONS[/b]: - Super unfun car bumping [i]HUGE DISCLAIMER: This game is delisted from Steam due to Epic Games, and you already have this game and are looking to see if you want to play it; the sequel as already a Epic Games exclusive.[/i]

Honestly, Horizon Chase Turbo is one of those games I never expected to put this many hours into, but here we are. I’ve completed all of the campaign races with my ex’s brother, Zack. That ♥♥♥♥ was genuinely fun while the good times lasted. 😂 We put in a lot of hours racing together, and those are definitely some of my favorite memories from the game. Loved listening to Eurobeat and $uicideboy$ while flying down the tracks at ridiculous speeds, only to get absolutely cut off by some NPC racer at the worst possible moment. Nothing like hitting a perfect line just for an NPC to decide they’re going to ruin your entire race. 😂 I’ve also completed the Marathon races by myself, and now I’m slowly working toward 100% completion. The main thing standing between me and that goal is getting the Gold/Platinum trophies on the Mario Kart-style 200cc races. I’ve been slowly chipping away at it with: * Q-Ball * Rubber Ducky * Doug * Thunder Bird * Pookie * Wethington * Zack, my ex’s brother Whether I’m playing by myself or with friends, this game is just stupidly fun. It’s easy to pick up, but once you start going for those higher-speed races and trophies, it can get surprisingly challen…

This is another reason why i m glad my Library of games is on Steam...

A great acrade racing that unfortunately went out of steam, hehe( The races are easy to progress but hard to masterm classics. Which is great for replayability, along with lots of cars with really different physics.

One of the best racers.
