    A great array of distinctive cars, mix of winding country roads and crowded urban highways, and modes that emphasize clean racing help this racer shine.

    The third game in the Gear.Club franchise is a total success in terms natural evolution within the genre, but still has points that show some amateurism from its developers.

    There is a lot that you can potentially get out of Gear.Club 3, especially if you enjoy time trial challenges, where you’ll get a lot out of the large number of tracks and online leaderboards. Collecting all the cars and then playing around with them is a lot of fun, and ideal for pick-up-and-play sessions. It might not be a must play, but it’s one of those games that you’ll likely find yourself spending more time with than you realise.

    Despite its good ideas, which it does have, and technical improvements over previous installments, Gear.Club Unlimited 3 loses steam in practically every aspect. And that's a shame.

    Gear.Club Unlimited 3 is a tough game to rate. At its core, the driving is sound, the graphics are decent, the game mechanics are interesting, and the career is meaty enough to bother. It even offers a 60 frames per second mode, something previous episodes did not – at least, on Nintendo consoles. On the other hand, it has various important flaws related to the overall racing, and the lack of online multiplayer is a huge step-down from the previous game which did, eventually, add said feature. What we’re left with is a mostly competent, not particularly memorable arcade racer with a handful of highs, but some baffling lows as well. It is a fun game, and on Switch 2 there aren’t too many better alternatives for this kind of racer. But if it follows the previous episode’s path, it may get new content, proper multiplayer and astonishingly deep discounts before long. Perhaps you’re better off waiting for all of that to happen, before jumping in.

    Gear.Club Unlimited 3 is a title with good intentions and a competent gameplay foundation. However, it accumulates too many technical issues, the driving feel and physics are poor, the AI does not behave well, and the absence of online multiplayer along with the very limited content weigh too heavily.

    Gear.Club Unlimited 3 offers a solid core racing experience, but it suffers from poor visuals, performance issues, some visual glitches, and a scarcity of content to justify the asking price. It is even harder to recommend Gear.Club Unlimited 3 in a post-GRID Legends: Deluxe Edition world on Nintendo Switch 2. There is potential here, but too many caveats for it to be even close to an easy recommendation.
