    GRIP: Combat Racing will delight the nostalgics grown up on bread and Rollcage, accustomed to frills and testosterone-rich races. However, bringing back past productions is a risky choice, and it is precisely on certain roughness that the stock loses points, precluding excellence due to smudges in the design of the tracks and in the collision system.

    While often fun, GRIP: Combat Racing’s opening hours will put some folk off, due to some iffy balancing issues and awkward track design. Stick with it and you’ll find an entertaining, old school combat racer.

    Grip: Combat Racing is a fast-paced experience that is sometimes hindered by its own level design. Online matches and game optimization are where it truly shines. The campaign mode, though, becomes more of a chore than something to celebrate.

Often described as 'the dark souls ofPlayed this throughout early access on Steam, and it's been a pleasure to see this game progress. Often described as 'the dark souls of racers' due to its intense difficulty, Grip is a modern re-telling of the Rollcage series. It's fast, relentlessly difficult, and a refreshing return to the arcade future racers of old. It's difficulty will make it a difficult sell for the casual crowd, but if you enjoy arcade racing, it's well worth checking out. It's also important to mention that this is a game in 2018 with a predominantly Drum & Bass soundtrack, and that's huge!… Full Review »

This is a racing game, the combat is very secondary and underwhelming. When going full speed, it's very easy to bump into one of the innumerable obstacles and go flying, moving from 1st to last position. This is my main reason for finding the game unpleasant and tough; I cannot memorize everything. Sometimes you don't know which way is the race. The game also uses the infamous rubber banding. This means that if you hold the 1st position long enough, the AI will cheat and go compete with you out of nowhere. But it also works the other way around: if you mess up for some time, the AI will fool around until you come and compete with him. At least in the early races, apparently the game gets very tough later on. This causes frustration to many players.

    Try to play the game yourself before buying and see if you like it.    … Full Review »
