Super Woden: Rally Edge

A cute little rally racer that runs great on Steam Deck and plays well in short bursts. It's not perfect, though. Between the winnings you get from races and how much cars depreciate after buying them, you may find yourself running short on cash frequently. You also HAVE to upgrade your cars to compete, which will deplete your funds quickly. Pros - Runs great on deck - Lots of classic rally cars (though the names have been changed, but you can name them whatever you want) - Race physics feel good, drifting around corners is fun Cons - No way to see car stats (except horsepower) after you buy them - No interior or hood cam, camera view is similar to Art Of Rally - Game is stingy with funds; cars are expensive and you can get soft-locked if you spend your money wrong, leading to grinding old races.

Very flow state and accessible; great on Deck and Frame (for that BAS effect). Some grindy bits, could do with online ghosts so I can 'race' other times (unless I missed it?). Good stuff!

Peak Arcade Rally

SW:RE has the best driving feel and physics imo. very fun and skill-based, Remind me of the first times i played GTA-2 & Driver; simply for the fun of sliding at high speeds. However, there is so much potential for added gameplay fun. - some maps the fixed camera angle gets obstructed by clipped pine trees and the opaque next turn warnings... I be driving blind at top speed in those maps. The option to zoom out/in and/or tilt the angle to reveal more of the upcoming road would be amazing to have. - Having a minimap where I can see my car's real-time location on it so i can anticipate multiple turns ahead of time would also be an amazing feature to have in the option. - I want to cruise around the streets and mountain tunnels of Japan, without timers. I want to drive and enjoy atmospheric vibe and rainy nights, foggy dusks, windy mountains. Quality of life update to increase longevity of playtime per player. - I would love to cruise around in an open world level, where I can see other players' cars (to add an interactive community vibe to the game)

Super enjoyable arcade rally game. Reminds me of pumping coins into the arcade machines at the local fish n chip shop.

The graphics are nice with a retro comic looking style that is very cool but for me in a racing game is the driving dynamics and handling what makes it fun or not even if it's an arcade game like this one. I was expecting something similar to Rush Rally Origins which I really enjoyed but in this game the car seems to float weightless on the road and I don't like the way it turns either so I cannot recommend it.
