Breakneck

Mindless, simple, boring. I think this might be a phone game that was simply put on PC? It is just a huge cheap waste of time.

I wish I could give this a neutral. This isn't a bad game. The graphics are ok, the controls are functional, some thought was given to the zone designs. It is a good way to pass the time while waiting to leave for your next doctor's appointment or whatever. It's just dated. Like people, the game got old. At this point there are other games in the same price bracket that are more memorable, have more content, and look nicer. I repeat, it's not really a bad game, but there just isn't anything memorable enough about it that would make me tell a friend "Hey, you should go look this up on Steam."

Breakneck is an amazing game to play if you've ever wanted to experience all the techniques mobile phone games use to keep you addicted to playing it, but without any risk to your wallet. Play Breakneck and be manipulated by its: [list] [*] Pay to Win Gameplay: The use of powerups in Breakneck is governed by its currency system. To use a powerup in your next game, you need to pay for it; don't pay, and you don't get access to game-changing perks that bust the game wide open. [*] Multiple Currencies: So, you think you can grind it out and play Breakneck the honest way. Well, you can be diligent and grind out a daily allowance, but Breakneck's three currencies aren't equal; grinding out cash one way is not commensurate with another cash currency. [*] Daily Sign Ins: The game keeps you coming back for more by offering daily gifts just for signing in. And, to keep you engaged, there is a daily leaderboard pitting you against other grinders for more prizes in a ranked competition. No matter how wide the gap is, the game implores you to try again: "You're so close! Only xx points until first place!" [*] Changing Priorities: Breakneck is a game in which its endgame is not the same as its…

Breakneck is a futuristic high-speed racer that somehow starts off… slow. Not because the game lacks speed (you’re flying), but because it takes a while to really hook you. Once it does, though, it becomes oddly addictive, until the repetition kicks in and reminds you to take a break. This is definitely a “20 minutes a day” kind of game. Play a bit, enjoy the speed, grind a little, and then step away before it starts feeling like a chore. How long you stick with it really depends on your tolerance for repetition and grinding. The daily, procedurally generated tracks sound great in theory, but in practice they start to blur together after a while. Still, there’s fun to be had… in small, controlled doses. Final verdict: addictive in short bursts, repetitive in long ones. I would give it a 6/10 (could be better, but it can be a good purchase on sale)

I love the music, the close calls, and how your heart is racing like you are actually in the cockpit.

Fun little game to check your reflexes. Doesn't take up half your hard drive to play, kids can even get in on the fun.
