    Horizon Chase Turbo is a fantastic throwback to the arcade racing games of the 90s. The gameplay is a great mixture of easy to learn but hard to master, and the different game modes provide you with enough variation to keep you entertained for hours. The graphical presentation of the game captures the retro aesthetic immensely, with OST matching its themes magnificently. If you are looking for a racing game you can sit back and enjoy, then this is one worth picking up.

    Horizon Chase Turbo is a throwback racer for those who want to race with near-impossible odds at all times. Constantly starting at the back of the pack, the aggressive AI opposition, and the exaggerated physics system require nothing less than pure skill and tremendous luck if players want to get close to first place in any races. At the same time, the generous progression system and easy-to-handle controls mean that you can get quite far before you need to start being perfect. With local multiplayer and an excellent presentation in tow, Horizon Chase Turbo is a must-have for those who dearly miss old racing games.

    Despite its difficulty, I’ve been having quite a bit of fun with Horizon Chase Turbo. It certainly does feel like a game from the 80s/90s, as they were known for being quite difficult anyway. The selection of cars and tracks is quite nice, and it’s all wrapped up in a beautiful visual style. So, if you want to take a trip down memory lane at lightning speeds, I’d definitely suggest giving it a try. Just don’t throw your controller at the screen.

    Horizon Chase Turbo is a decent arcade racing game, which knows exactly to which target group is focusing. If you feel that you belong to this target group, then you should give it a chance, hands-down.

    A tribute to the arcade racing games in the 90s. You will have simply what it is: a retro experience in the present, and it's worth it.

    Combining the same kind of fast-paced fun that worked so well years ago with a picture-perfect progression model, Horizon Chase Turbo is exactly the kind of arcade-inspired racing game the industry has needed.

    Minimalistic, but pretty arcade racer rooted in Lotus, Out Run and other classics.

    While I enjoyed my time with Horizon Chase Turbo, I wished it was an arcade cabinet instead of something to play at home. Part of the arcade appeal was always seeing how long I could get on a quarter — having unlimited access to such a thing puts it in a new, unfavorable light that reveals the content was never meant for it.

For me personally, I would sayHorizon Chase Turbo is really fun and exciting racing game that gives the classic arcade retro racing feel. For me personally, I would say that this game is really fun, it has no crazy gimmicks kind of like top gear 3000, but it brings back the top gear 1 and 2 feel right away, which brought a smile to my face. If you are a big fan of retro racing games and don't mind a long game (roughly 15 - 25 hrs) ( 2 - 4 hrs per session) then this is the game for you.… Full Review »

    Game started as very good follower for Lotus Esprit Turbo. But later it begin to be poor design frustration. Cars, which are worst than yoursGame started as very good follower for Lotus Esprit Turbo. But later it begin to be poor design frustration. Cars, which are worst than yours are doing incredible moves and are with better perfromance than your car - cheated cars. And they are trying to do only one action - move into your line and hit you. Car is unable to take blue coins, fuel or turbo, because it can't correctly calculate distance. Even if you are hitting coin with peace of car. On the other hand, some trres or signs near road are able to stop you, even if there is big distance.
    In the end I found, you are fighting with cheated cars, bad colision system is reason, why you cant take last coins from road and you have to repeat track again and again. Overall fun dissappeard. Total garbage is completely dark track, where you cant see track...
    After that uninstall....    … Full Review »
