    My personal opinion, the game is not OK.
    - Graphics is like CS:Source. It's not beautiful but take too much system resource while running.
    - Gameplay, item... are poor.
    - Physics simulation is terrible.
    In conclusion, the first RR is better!

    This game is a mess, in both terms of fun and design. The first thing you will notice is that it is extremely glitchy. In just the first level, I suffered two crashes, and one time where my bike stopped turning, drove through obstacles and ended up mysteriously at the finish line, immediately winning. These issues should have been ironed out in early access, however they seem only MOREThis game is a mess, in both terms of fun and design. The first thing you will notice is that it is extremely glitchy. In just the first level, I suffered two crashes, and one time where my bike stopped turning, drove through obstacles and ended up mysteriously at the finish line, immediately winning. These issues should have been ironed out in early access, however they seem only MORE numerous.

    The spiritual successor angle they were going for reeks of marketing and not a reflection of actual gameplay, much like another recent title, Strafe. The rubber banded combat (enemies stick to you until you kill them, rather than attacking when it is strategically viable and racing ahead otherwise) feels boring, forced and lifeless, unlike the extra layer of gameplay that it provided in Road Rash. Beyond that, the feeling of progression found in the original Road Rash trilogy is completely absent here, with the game acting more like an arcade game than even the originals. Additionally, the multiplayer pales in comparison to its supposed predecessor, despite the fact that it is older than some of the fans of this game.

    In the end, Road Redemption feels less like a spiritual successor to Road Rash, and more like a cousin of Ride to Hell: Retribution. The only thing it shares with the former is motorcycles and combat, but it shares the glitches, poor design choices, bad voice acting and incredibly repetitive gameplay of the latter. This is not worth twenty United States dollars, not even ten dollars. The only time I think this could be acceptable is as a four dollar phone game.    … Expand

    Road Redemption isn’t what I hoped it would be, and that may not be entirely the game’s fault. Nostalgia can be a cruel mistress. However, the flaws on show here do prevent the game from standing up on its own, and although it can be fun and engaging sometimes, I would recommend waiting for a price drop before picking it up.

    When it’s not crashing, Road Redemption offers perfect bite-sized pieces of vehicular mayhem. It’s loud and bloody and raw, and the dated graphics only increase the grit and messiness. With a few fixes, this could be an all-time classic of the genre, rather than the deeply flawed romp that it is.

    Spiritual successor it may be, but Road Redemption does one thing very differently: unlike Road Rash, it offers a roguelike experience with procedurally generated mini-campaigns. [Issue#226, p.56]
