Carbox

I rarely post negative reviews but this game is extremely unfun and fails on its core elements. Somehow the driving is sticky, slippery and stiff at the same time and the game tells you after 5 levels to use handbrake for corners but that is just guarantee slam into the wall, only way to somewhat control your car in corners was for me to completely let go of acceleration and it would start turning bit better. What about air control then? well you get all the control where you don't need it and will slam into nearest obstacle with the slightest touch of movement key. So this game fails as a casual/arcade racer but okay I can ignore that and do all the achievements anyways, oh wait a second the devs have lost their collective mind with these achievements; finish 10000 races, get 500 gold/silver/bronze medals. What an absolute joke, you need to separately grind all those 3 medals since gold doesn't count as all so sometimes you would have to just play slower just to get worse medal for progression. This game ruined my day.

Been playing this for a while now, and it’s genuinely one of the most fun racing games I’ve played in a long time. The driving feels great, everything is responsive, and the whole experience feels polished. The art style and sound design are also awesome Download the demo, try it out, and then get the full game, first track might feel too easy but then the game proceeds to humble you repeatedly for the next several hours because some of the later tracks are seriously challenging Also, the creator mode is a massive bonus and genuinely impressive for a game of this scale. I didn’t expect a whole map builder to exist at this price point. Highly recommended!

The handling is like TrackMania's SnowCar or RallyCar or IslandCar but with StadiumCar's gearing, making it far more obnoxious than those cars. And apparently other TrackMania players already don't like how those cars handle so that means the average person would probably hate this lmao. Personally I think they're cool but I find the gearing shenanigans here really make smoothsteer based gameplay a little too annoying to be something I'd want to grind. Update: This review was previously negative for gated content and an achievement tied to that gated content. The dev has addressed this less than 24 hours after I left my review which is impressively quick, outside of that I actually think the game is pretty good so the review has been changed to positive. Old review can be found below just for contextual reasons. Old Review: Based on what I've written so far it's not really something I'd bother writing a negative review for but the game is is jammed full of achievements and a normal full playthrough of the game only gets you like 46% of them. Not just this but there is also one called "Winter Rider" with the unlock condition of "Finish all Christmas challenges". There are no "Chri…

Played for about 15 minutes, got to second map and wow! game is fun as ♥♥♥♥. Definitely a keeper.

Race little toy cars that handle like realistic full size cars. I LOVE the style of toybox tiltshift toycars racing through little playsets. I do not love the handling of the cars. I thought this was going to have arcadey controls that let me fulfil my childlike fantasies of speeding through my handcrafted race tracks with ease. However they made the cars feel slow and unresponsive. The drifting is simply just not good and never really felt good to pull off on any of the various vehicles. If the cars handled differently then this would have been a perfect gem but instead I was just frustrated with the games driving by the end of my playthrough. I recommend this game if you want to feel like a child whose hands were destroyed in a mysterious accident so your parents have to now play with your toy cars but they drive them like adults obeying the rules of the road and not a child full of wonder and limitless speed.

Pretty fun racing game. I kept saying "one more race" and somehow played for over 8 hours. More challenging than it looks, which made getting good times really satisfying.
