Hotlap Heroes

This is an incomplete product. It has been in Early Access since release with great promises. Fact is 0, that is ZERO updates were ever released. It says they think the game will be in EA for 1 year. Well 1 year is long up, and there was not even one single update. It is a joke. Do not buy.

I really enjoy this type of game. There's a simple pleasure to be had in throwing little cars around race tracks and I've enjoyed doing it since the 8 and 16 bit eras. This game reminds me of some older games quite a bit - Super Sprint, Super Off-Road, Super Skidmarks, Super Cars 2 and probably a bunch of other racers also with "Super" prefixed to their titles. What I like about this game in its current state is that the enjoyment of flinging the car about is already there - the handling is fun, not too grippy and the game looks lovely - I love the art style with the low-poly looking surrounding details. The sound effects are decent and it feels like the core is here for a really enjoyable game. I'm playing the Mac version on a 2011 27" iMac with macOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) and the game runs smoothly playing solo which is great. On the downside, it's just a little too bare-bones at the minute. If you've got enough people and controllers/phones to gather up locally then I have no doubt that the game will be a hoot and I'm really looking forward to enjoying such moments with friends down the line, but for a solo player there's sadly too little to do. All you can do is race around …

Don't buy it game is abandoned had potential but no ai to race against.

Fun game, very nice driving physics, I enjoyed a quick spin around several tracks, but... The game needs: - online multiplayer - at least several cars or car classes with distinctive driving style - time trial leaderboards - more tracks Would be nice: - ranked online races with matchmaking Those above are, in my opinion, features, that are essential for the game to succeed. Tha game has potential, as its core is very nice, so I'm giving it thumbs up, but keep in mind, that it is very light on features, and thus shallow, as of now.

Playing experience as expected. Nicely suitable game for short LAN event. Pros: - Simple - Nice looking - Neutral - Works as expected Cons: - Not much documented or easily configurable (like host IP and Port), or very unclear. can't find much info.

Looks good, plays well and it ends there. Needs a single player season option. Great when my friends are over...but what if I have no friends? Hmmm...You could sell more of these with a single player season option. Just throwing it out there.
