    - 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!    … Expand

    Nothing short of brilliant. Fast-paced, frenetic and damn good looking, this is most definitely the spiritual successor to both wipEout and F-Zero we all needed.

    During almost a decade since I last played Need For Speed: Underground, I became mostly an RPG-oriented gamer and thought that nothing can bring me back to racing genre at all.
    I tried more than 10 different racing titles since that days, but nothing was able to hook me more than for a day.
    But recently I, absolutely accidentially stumbled upon a game I somehow missed year and a half ago    During almost a decade since I last played Need For Speed: Underground, I became mostly an RPG-oriented gamer and thought that nothing can bring me back to racing genre at all.
    I tried more than 10 different racing titles since that days, but nothing was able to hook me more than for a day.
    But recently I, absolutely accidentially stumbled upon a game I somehow missed year and a half ago and now I want to prevent you guys from making a same mistake, because this game is something amazing.
    It's such type of game that hooks your attention from the very first minutes, not caring about what game types you are playing. Once you press this gas pedal, there's no way back. And this game is called Redout.

    Redout is a representative of AG racing genre, or, simply said - futuristic racing, inspired by such a legendary games like F-Zero and Wipeout that most of us played on Nintendo and old playstation and sega consoles. But, while humbly keeping the terms of AG racing canon, Redout, I will not be afraid to say that, is nextgen and absolutely revolutionary.
    What makes it so is actually very simple. Developers retained the classic AG racing atmosphere, added amazing graphics made on monstrous Unreal Engine 4, insanely realistic physics, supersensitive and unbelieveably responsive controls, greatly fitting techno music and to be sure you really never get bored - spiced the gameplay with more than 100 events, tons of your hovercars upgrades and powerups and more than 10 different race types - from classic race or time run, up to survival mode where racing track is swarmed by mines and boss challenge races.

    Game has maybe one of the most realistic physics I saw in racing games - each turn, braking and acceleration, each your tiniest drift applies according force to your car.
    During the couple of first races I was collecting each road turn and was so angry on myself and on the game, just to realize 5 minutes later I was silly enough to start playing new game fropm a quick race instead of instructing one.
    The thing is Redout offers a unique feature in controlling your hovercar - besides usual turns, break and acceleration, your ship can STRAFE, even in midair - meaning the microcontrol of your car mass and force that is applied to it. Together with regular steering, this control system gives you such an immersive controlling feeling that car physics is starting literally flowing through you. And of course, it helps you to pass even the hardest turns without crashing. This system also greatly improves the futuristic feeling on constant high speed - because using both of these controls wisely, you soon realize that one of the main Redout rules before the hard turn - is NOT to press a break pedal, but dive into it, precisely controlling your ship without slowing down.

    Another thing that game is gloriously and defiantly challenging is GRAVITATION itself. Many planets you will race on have such a ridiculously unusual tracks that you often will fly across huge abysses, shorten your way flying over the turns using springboards. Sometimes you can even find yourself entered the portal and second after, flying over the planet itself almost in open space, returning back to the planetary part of the track by enterting another portal. This said, you can strafe not only sideways, but also tilt your car up and down to reach maximum ergonomics and minimum car damage when landing.

    Graphics are adding to whole previously named details, showing you absolutely fantastic, surreal and sometimes I'd say even phantasmagoric landscapes and tracks design, accompanied simply unmatchable aesthetics and great shaders and greatly fitting techno soundtrack on top of that. Besides that, it's greatly optimized as well - my GTX 980 was able to maintain stable 60FPS at 4k resoution and the only reason I uploaded this video in 2k is just becuase my GPU renders 4k insanely long. Well. Just take a look on this.

    It's hard to believe this game was done by an indie studio. Breathtakingly beautiful, furiously fast, easy to learn and hard to master at the same time, with a great replayability, Redout is definitely one of the best, if not the best AG racing games ever released during the last decade. It will fly you to the moon and back, and in many other corners of galaxy on the lighting speed with greatly implemented physics. But no game is perfect, and Redout has it's own drawback as well - you simply can't stop playing. 9.5 out of 10, deducting 0.5 points for beeing too damn good.    … Expand

    As a fan of the futuristic racing/anti gravity racing genre I think this is the first good game in the genre since wipeout fury.

    Only minor complaint is that there's no seperate settings for blur etc (it's all under 'post processing') and that there seems to be no way to downsample. The game has a resolution slider but it's a 0-100 percent one, with no way to select higher resolutions for DSR.

    After the genre getting completely abandoned by all publishers (including Sony, who closed the wipeout studio, shame on them!) it's good to finally get another great game in this genre after all these years.

    And the best thing is that it's on PC

    This game is going to be considered a classic in a few years I think.    … Expand

    This game feels fast and fluid, but I found myself getting bored of the repetitive nature of some of the tracks and the lack of depth to the game as a whole. I could see a sequel to it being great, but I would pass on this game if you are currently looking at buying it.

    I fell in love with this game as soon as I put my hands on the controller. It's a design jewel, a joy for the eyes and a freacking challenging experience. Gameplay is well balanced, circuits seems to have been created by a roallercoaster designer and the vehicles are something outstanding in their simplicity. Every detail is carefully taken care of...something unusual those days.

    A must buy.

    One small note: This game, as any game of this type, should be played with a pad, not with a keyboard. Ignore who gives a bad review because they are playing with a keyboard, that is unnecessarily harsh. Still, if don't own a pad, either get one or don't buy the game.

    I'm not a racing games fan, but when I tried Redout it was love at first sight: on my first playthru I flew for 3h straight, trying to master career events and to unlock every ship/track/powerup.
    The sense of speed is amazing, and it will take some time to become a pro on those tight curves: turn+steer+nose up+turbo (brakes? what brakes?)

    Developers did a great job on the ships physics and controls are very responsive even if you are a seasoned PC gamer and prefer using the keyboard instead of pad.
    There are also some minor flaws, like screen resolution and controls not so easily customizable, but I don't bother, they will surely be patched in the near future.
    Can't wait to try it on VR, thumbs up for the very fitting soundtrack too.

    Possibly the greatest futuristic racing game of all time, Redout is an absolutely essential purchase for anyone who’s grown up playing classics like F-Zero, Wipeout and Extreme-G. This game does so many things right on so many levels it’s astounding, from the stunning visuals & sound design to the humongous variety of incredible race tracks.

    Make no mistake about it, Redout is FAST.    Possibly the greatest futuristic racing game of all time, Redout is an absolutely essential purchase for anyone who’s grown up playing classics like F-Zero, Wipeout and Extreme-G. This game does so many things right on so many levels it’s astounding, from the stunning visuals & sound design to the humongous variety of incredible race tracks.

    Make no mistake about it, Redout is FAST. Certainly its most divisive element, then, is just how floaty the vehicle handling is relative to both how winding the tracks are as well as their relative visual similarity in each location. This is a blessing in disguise, however, because Redout mandates track memorization and precise driving lines in a way I’ve rarely seen in similar racers. The learning curve is steep, but taking the time to race the tracks over and over to learn their intricacies is utterly addictive.

    The track design itself is brilliant, constantly temping players with wide straightaways to boost faster and faster through before throwing them into harrowing hairpins, loops and corkscrews. Later courses completely throw reality out the window, serving up some of the wildest tracks seen this side of F-Zero GX, with massive jumps, zero-g segments and only the smallest of margins for error.

    Redout’s single player campaign was for me worth the price of admission alone- over 120 career mode events cover a wide variety of game modes like time trials, tournament races, survival events and more. It’s sure to take quite a few hours to finish off and does a great job of introducing the player to the game’s mechanics in the slower speed classes before letting them loose with the faster class 3 & 4 ships and the most difficult circuits. The DLC tracks are essential purchases as well and provide the game some of its most unique environments and stunning tracks.

    Redout’s multiplayer component currently consists of online racing and local split-screen support for up to two players. The online multiplayer works flawlessly and I’ve had a blast in online races, though it’s worth noting that during most hours of the day the online community seems quite dry (certainly not a fault of the game itself). Split screen works just as well as you’d expect as well, though the game does pare back the graphics slightly in the aim of providing better performance. The game also includes online time-trial leaderboards, which has created some fun competition amongst the game’s awesome Discord community.
    I only have two small critiques of Redout at this time- first, while the game’s AI is competitive and certainly challenging for new players learning the game, they tend to be quite easy for advanced players and could use some added difficulty. Secondly, the console versions currently have some framerate issues preventing them from reaching the target 60 fps (PC version is very well-optimized). The developers have stated they’re working on releasing some optimization fixes for those versions so hopefully this will be rectified soon.

    I honestly cannot recommend Redout enough. I’ve waited literally over a decade for a racer of this magnitude to be released and am absolutely blown away by what 34BigThings has been able to accomplish, from a small independent studio no less. Hope to see you all on the racetrack!    … Expand

    There is a lot here in redout, but there is a lot missing from redout as well…
    This game features a career mode, quick race, split screen, and online..
    The career mode is where you’ll be unlocking all the things for the other modes...
    you start out choosing your vehicle for your preferred playstyle...
    and there’s a robot voice that gives you a rundown on what each vehicles stats mean before you choose it as your free ride..
    You aren’t stuck with it... but you’ll have to save up money for the others...
    The career is a bunch of money saving, buying new vehicles and buying active and passive abilities for them and then upgrading those abilities... you can even take on sponsor challenges for bonus cash...
    but after you pick your new ride your off to do races and time trials…
    The game technically has 11 different modes but when it comes down to it, it’s basically just a game of racing opponents or the clock, with the occasional extremely annoying instadeath tracks…
    I had decently high expectations for this game and at first it met those expectations, the music was great, the driving felt perfect, the game was fast.. but a tiny bit slower than wipeout, so first person racing is more of a realistic option here…
    and the tracks are gorgeous…
    these are some of the best looking tracks I’ve seen in a racing game
    however after only 30 minutes of playing the game just started to feel numbing..
    Its tracks just have no life to them, they’re shiny and pretty... but they’re just there…
    there are no shortcuts for example which is something that can really help a track become memorable...
    because of a lack of tiny things like no shortcuts or branching routes every track starts to feel the same, you’re just going forward strafing and breaking so you don’t hit the walls, or pitching up to stop your ride from scratching the bottom..
    as there is a damage system here and a few game over races thrown in there making it extremely important to be cautious of walls, and especially jumps as you can fly off of a track in some modes and its instantly game over instead of respawning like a normal race…
    This dullness isn’t helped by the fact that while sure there are 35 tracks total in all of the modes,
    there are only 14 different race tracks and unlocking them all will take you very deep into this games campaign
    as tracks are basically split by racing class, with the first 8 being constantly repeated until you earn enough xp from racing the tracks in modes that feel the same to get to level level 15 and then again 22 to purchase better vehicles for the tougher challenges to unlock the final 6 race tracks
    It only takes 3 hours of playtime to get to this halfway mark…
    but the racing becomes so dull that the 3 hours feels like 6
    Online though is essentially a ghost town..
    This is a smaller publisher and a smaller releases so this is expected...
    id view it as a possibility more than a promise...
    don’t buy this game hoping for some online racing

    do I think Redout is a bad game?
    I don’t...
    It’s no wipeout, but it’s still a decently fun racing game, it just loses its charm way too fast...
    I give Redout

    Everything runs so smooth and the controls are good and well designed, the core is simple but it's effective. As there has been some time since we had that f-zero and wipeout, redout is the perfect way to bring those feelings back and stronger than ever with astonishing graphics and cool looking circuits as well as a pretty decent OST

    Summary

    Given that the game has been out less than a week, it has great potential to be utterly amazing once a few minor issues are sorted. The community is awesome and the devs have put in some great work.

    This is hands down one of the greatest AG racers I've played in a long time.

    Once tweaked will be a solid 10    … Expand

    Redout is one of the most delightfully high-octane, edge-of-my-seat racing games in recent memory. It’s a thrilling adrenaline rush of an experience. It’s a finely-tuned joyride that’s been polished and balanced until it shines in a cornucopia of flashy colours.

    Intense anti-grav racing for the purist who values speed and control over all distractions.

    In the end, Redout is a very good racing game. It may not introduce anything completely new or revolutionize the genre, but it nails the fundamentals so well that fans will be glad that it exists. It has a great presentation and a decent track selection, while the amount of modes almost makes up for the lack of online community. If Redout represents the start of a comeback for futuristic racing, it is a good one, and genre fans will do well to pick it up.
