    Redout offers the speed and fluidity of a great futuristic racer, but lacks the polish and content required to be a truly great Wipeout successor.

    Redout is an impressive, gorgeous throwback to futuristic racing games of yesterday that comes so, so close to nailing it. Some bizarre decisions relating to vehicle upgrades and difficulty make you question whether 34BigThings understood what made those classics tick in the first place, but it’s just about salvaged by some great track design and slick performance.

    Nails the look, the sound, and the speed, but Redout stalls on the sensation.

    + Probably the best racing AG experience existing
    + Superlative sense of speed
    + Easy to learn, hard to master, super precise, responsive and innovative control system
    + Unmatchable aestetics: great stylized low poly style mixed with state of the art shading techniques
    + Great ships design and variety: enough choice to satisfy every player type
    + Smart, fresh and unrivaled track design (20 different tracks ATM)
    + Multiplayer works like a charm!
    + Hardcore experience. Not forgiving AI: this game is not for n00bs or crybabies

    CONs
    - Can't f*****g stop playing
    - Some minor bugs (devs said will be fixed soon)

    SUMMARY:
    This was made by a pretty much not known INDIE studio. Do you realize that???
    I played all the famous historical AG racing games, and so much time passed since the last time a I felt so much adrenaline racing. This game put you in the "ZONE" and keeps you there so well you will even forget to drink and sleep.
    This is what I was looking for: REDOUT is not only a game, but a COMPLETE EXPERIENCE.
    11/10 can't recommend enough.

    PS: Even my friends that are not inside racing games are loving it!    … Full Review »
