Retro Racing 2

I already owned this great little game on both iOS and Android, but didn't think twice about buying it again on Steam. It's a fantastic little racer that prioritises fun over realism and is all the better for it. Courses are nicely designed - enough of a challenge to make them worth playing, without them being frustrating. The graphics are cute and colourful and perfectly capture the 8 and 16 bit era, without sticking too slavishly to them. The ability to use a controller rather than touchscreen controls makes the game even better to play (although the iOS and Android touchscreen controls were pretty good) and the whole thing is just fun, fun, fun. If there's a criticism, it's that it's not the toughest game in the world - an hour in and I've almost raced all the tracks (and come first on most of them), although there's still the challenge of buying all the cars. Frankly, though, I'd rather have a short game that gave me a few hours of immense fun, than one which has a longer term challenge but feels like a grind to get through. Fans of fun, arcade racers should buy this. End of.

13minutes are enough to understand that what we get here is the best possible 2d racing game I have ever played. The controls are just fantastic and so intuitive ! The GFXs are juicy, SFX perfectly match.... what Can I say ? It's just tons of fun and exactly what I was expecting for ! Thank you so much !

Retro Racing 2 pairs a minimalistic three-button left/right/accelerate control scheme with immaculately tuned momentum physics for a pleasingly tactile top-down racing game. While it is basic in style and slight in terms of the number and variety of tracks and modes*, its substance is found in the effort of mastering the controls and learning each track, improving from clumsily clawing for pole position to chasing personal or leaderboard bests, flinging the car, in the most satisfying manner, into drifts around hairpin turns, past hazards and long-since lapped opponents. *(it does include a 2-4 player split-screen mode I have not tried, but can imagine being fun, particularly for parties at similar skill levels)

Addictive if a little short and easy

Good game

This game is made by the same author of the old classic racing game "Nitro" for the Commodore Amiga, and inherits many of its features and the overall feel. Now, if you like the fast 2d scrolling like the good old arcades, multiplayer in the same (real) room on the same screen up to 4 player like the good old afternoons of late 80s and 90s, you are welcome and this is will be a great game!
