    Played 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!… Expand

    I played this game since it was in early access and even then it never felt dull. The soundtrack is amazing, the car designs fit the world and match the music. This is probably one of my favorite racing games of all time.

    For me, bullet force on freegames66 is one of the best game so far compared to the other online shooting game.

    Futuristic arcade racers are truly the best and grip is totally up there most people give this game 10/10 reviews cause of **** nostalgia but to be honest grip itself is a wonderful game without the bias of nostalgia. its adrenaline pumping and fast paced action,just get used to playing it and you'll get a flow of what im talking about

    I played Rollcage and Rollcage Stage II back then...a lot. I loved those games. So this...THIS is absolutely amazing. The speed, the combat, the weapons of choice. I can recognize some of the lanes but with small changes. Some of them can be a real pain even the ones classified as NORMAL. Sometimes the environment can really be against you and your competitors can be pretty annoying, butI played Rollcage and Rollcage Stage II back then...a lot. I loved those games.

Some of them can be a real pain even the ones classified as NORMAL. Sometimes the environment can really be against you and your competitors can be pretty annoying, but that's part of the game just like back then. I am looking forward for more games like this. You can perhaps name the second game GRIP 2: Extreme Racing and the third game GRIP 3: Ultimate Racing. If you have plans for a forth game you will have to come up with a title yourself.… Expand

    Glad I tried it before buying. Based on version 1.3.0. 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 isGlad I tried it before buying. Based on version 1.3.0. 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.    … Expand

    It looks good, there are options for days and most importantly the gameplay is entertaining. GRIP: Combat Racing VR is pure digital witchcraft, making the addition of VR look seamless. Plus it’s a free update if you already own the original title, which is a bonus.

    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.

    GRIP: Combat Racing is an exhilarating racing experience. There are some flaws such as a considerable increase in difficulty during the last quarter of the campaign, overly aggressive enemy A.I and physics that, sometimes, take hold in an unpredictable manner, but its bountiful content, beautifully designed tracks and adrenaline-infused action, constitute an alluring game.
