Aug 4, 2016Obliteracers is beautiful, hilarious, challenging, and a blast to play.
-
Jul 25, 2016As a party game, this is a sure hit: If you like to challenge your friend in couch-competitive play this is a thoroughly entertaining alternative to Bomberman and the like.
-
Jul 31, 2016Once you see how different Obliteracers is, and all the better for it, you’ll have discovered a great little racing game with lots of fun to be had with friends.
-
Jul 26, 2016Obliteracers has obvious shortcomings, particularly on the content and on the technical side, but it's definitely a lot of fun if you play it with friends.
-
Jul 25, 2016Of course, for some, Obliteracers just won’t click. While fun, the singleplayer campaign doesn’t have much of a lifespan – a problem for those who don’t have the means to play online or locally with a group of friends. Then there are the raw mechanics, tuned to give Obliteracers a frantic, sometimes nonsensical feel. Needless to say, if you’re looking for something similar to Mario Kart, you’re in the wrong place.
-
Aug 16, 2016Obliteracers introduces some interesting ideas, but between dead lobbies and limited local options, its multiplayer core falls a bit flat on PS4. With nothing else to pick up this slack, it ends up being a game that quickly loses steam.
-
Jul 21, 2016There's still some fun to be had in a spare 30 minute session alone, and it excels when played with friends – but on the whole it fails to provide enough depth and variation to keep the average player Obliteracing after the initial taster.
