Gotcha Racing 2nd

It's right there in the name. In this game you progress exclusively through gacha. No trade ups, no individual purchase options for upgrades, it won't even let you choose the color of your automobile, it's all decided by the RNGesus. While this unorthodox idea may sound funny, its only worth a few laughs when the game persistently carries the same joke for an eternity. So is this a decent racing game excluding the RNG factor. uh, no. The driving experience is pitiful. Within 0.5 seconds of you hitting the gas your car will be at its peak performance, at 6th gear with max RPM. In spite of the inflated tachometer number attempting to bring some sense of speed into the dull gameplay cars still feel slow as ♥♥♥♥.

Having max RPM at 95% of race also means that depends on the car you're driving, the highpitched struggling sound of the motor can be very unbearable for your ears.

Every race contributes to progression, making even small victories feel rewarding because they bring players closer to unlocking better equipment. This constant cycle of racing, collecting, …

Fun and simple racing games. I got it on sale for $2. Customization is a rabbit hole! Worth it!

It's even game runs great on steam deck. Highly recommended it is fun. The only thing I'm not sure about is. If there's cloud saves, I have loaded it on two different machines, and it does not seem to carry over. If anybody has an answer to that, that would be great.

very fun, gacha system mixes in well with the wager/payout system for grand prix races. Offers a lot of customizability that interacts in an interesting way with the difficulty scaling.

This game is pretty fun
