    Table Top Racing is a competent enough arcade style racer with a decent selection of online and single player options but games from both the past and present, such as Micro Machines, Mashed and Mario Kart, do what this does better. For a PS+ freebie its fine but it simply doesn't give you any reason to want to play it for all that long.

    I wouldn't have thought it would be that hard to make a reasonably fun Mario Kart / Crash Team Racing -like, but apparently it is. Even the basic gameplay of TTR:WT is lackluster. And that's about all you get. It's a missed opportunity.

    It's mildly addicting in the beginning because of the short tracks and a unique setting. A lot of the environment is interactable like spray paint cans or pieces of sushi. Manipulating these is refreshing since these objects don't have predefined animations. Also the AI behaves very similar to players in that they will fall off the track if you play things the right way.

What seems to be a mario kart competitor, it does not have local multiplayer which is odd for the audience this game will bring in. The artwork and levels are great. The soundtrack can get a bit annoying though. It's a fun game for casual play, but nothing really grips you that will bring you back on a constant basis. Expand

    This game is mediocre at best, the game has some things that are nice, but the controls are really not that great. The upgrades feels kinda strange, and feels like they do little.

    Picked up as the free game of the month on the ps+ scheme, nice little game which makes the job, not the best, not the worst, but quick and no bugs. If you like some quicky racing games based on toys it is ok, however when will we have again a remaster of fun tracks the best in its category for me

    **** this piece of **** game. 3rd race in only the 2nd league is nearly impossible to win even when using the best possible car at that point with all upgrades. Sad to see console games moving in the direction of crappy mobile games that con you into spending more real money to continue playing.

    A cute game but the AI has an annoying habit of teaming up against you in Grand Prix when you're in first. there's no reason to turn to the outside of a turn or make a sharp tun in a straight away except to push me off the map... this shows that all the cars that aren't meant to place in the top 3 are just there to try and get in your way and make you lose and not try and win themselves.A cute game but the AI has an annoying habit of teaming up against you in Grand Prix when you're in first. there's no reason to turn to the outside of a turn or make a sharp tun in a straight away except to push me off the map... this shows that all the cars that aren't meant to place in the top 3 are just there to try and get in your way and make you lose and not try and win themselves.

    Controlling the cars are a complete joke in this game. If this is supposed to be a fun game, why cant you play it? The CPUs drive like they masters at driving while the player struggles to turn a car. The map design is so terribly bad that it will have you raging with sharp turns around every corner that will have you falling off the edges and getting into last place all the time. theControlling the cars are a complete joke in this game.

    I liked it for a PS Plus game. Although it sure can use some more content, I am enjoying it so far. The loading times are fairly quick and the gameplay is smooth. Not too many negatives about the game except it needs more content if it wants to stay around.

Been great fun playing online although a couple of glitches - patch is in the pipeline. I'm amazed that a team of 8 developers can produce a game that's this detailed (cars are amazing) and still run at 60hz. Well done Team.

    This game is by far the best indie racing adventure type game I've played. they included two of the most awesome imports like the Toyota AE-86 and the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. Table Top Racer definitely lives up to the name and has pretty cool soundtracks and map modes!

    The game modes are really cool, you have a time trial mode to beat certain lap times while collecting power ups such as nitrous to get the best time score as quickly as possible, you have a drift mode where you're able to equip the drift tires in the game to slide better than having to use the normal tires and try your best to score higher than the given score. there's a lot more game modes and countless hours of fun and a few challenges for players of all ages and skill levels.

    Customization was something I didn't think would happen to this game but I was actually surprised.
    you can change the design of your car and change the rims of your car. I do hope the customization selections starts to grow (which will happen in the future) but in all honesty it's pretty darn good game. not to mention when you change the rims of your car you have different effects in the game. some rims will help you jump higher, drift better, take out your opponent and even GAIN YOU MOAR MONEY!

    I can go on and on with this great game, I hope to see more import cars in this game as well, I'll definitely recommend this game to my friends!

    As a fan of MicroMachines back on the Mega Drive, I've been wanting a fun, satisfying and similar style of game on consoles ever since. I first played the Android version a few years back and enjoyed it, but I'm not a fan of mobile gaming or touch controls, and wished on a console version..

    Fast forward to now and we have a new version built from the ground up on PlayStation 4,

    Fast forward to now and we have a new version built from the ground up on PlayStation 4, amazingly as a free PS Plus game which i wasn't expecting :o But i would have bought it regardless, and i hope Playrise Digital (made up from ex WipEout legends for those that don't know) get the support they deserve via DLC packs.

    The game isn't too hard, which as I'm getting older i dont like too much of a challenge :D But it eases you in very gently, which did feel a little underwhelming at first. But once you get going and onto the larger grid count the racing (especially the combat ones) really shines for me (adds MicroMachines style sound effects for extra lols).

    The track locations are well thought of and designed, vibrant and colourful. With i believe 4 variations to each location and shortcuts and coins to collect. I'm often crashing in distraction because I'm looking out for shortcuts, or I've seen a big red Brembo (forget what they are called in this) brake caliper that i have on my real car.

    The car designs are on some of our favourite real world production cars (cult classics, street and supercars) but with a cartoony appearance and look really good.

    Handling is quite basic and simple, which is understandable so anyone can pick up and play and have FUN. But thats the beauty of these types of games delivering fun, not frustration at trying to shave two tenths here and there. I like my sims like Gran Turismo and DiRT Rally, but more often than not i like to have fun too.

    I've not played multiplayer yet as i like to play through the single player first, but i imagine the game will be even more fun when i get online with others and friends & family. I've got my brother to download it and hope to play online with him as i still have fond memories playing 2 player with him on MicroMachines V2 back in the day.

    I don't believe there is local multiplayer tho, which if so then that is a real missed opportunity as these types of games should be built around that in my opinion.

    Overall i recommend this game, its a lot of fun with a nice bit of nostalgia, and its FREE!

    Enjoyable mini racer and great for 'free'. Great presentation and course design, everything runs very smoothly and fluidly. The tracks are very reminiscent of Micro Machines with lots of fun scenery and obstacles. Good array of vehicles and modifications available and the car names are amusing but recognisable as their real world manufacturers.

    Fun online multiplayer which also works

    Hopefully some more local multiplayer modes such as a single screen drop-out style races will be added later.

    This game shows some real promise if DLC continues to be produced.

Online play is the playing the same mode on the small amount of maps, and if you get behind you never catch up. I played for 30 min and started to feel repetitive. If you want to grind the AI championships you can unlock higher level cars race the computer with, but that's about it. There's nothing distinctive or interesting about this game besides that you are supposed to be small in tabletop environements. But the driving and control is poor, as well as the combat/itemization.

    - The physics is often weird. Your car will get reset while racing for no reason.
    -The amount of random crap littering the racetracks is enough to just automatically make you lose based on where they spawn because there is only one optimal route per track.
    - There are multiple item pickups on the track, but only one can be gotten or you will go off the track and lose time.
    - Multiple wheel choices but only 1-2 are ever useful
    - Except the AI to randomly ram you off the track.
    - Expect to hit the AI while driving and fly off the track because it seems your mass is 10x less than theirs.
    - The AI has the ability to go from 0-100 sideways when ramming you or being hit by you, so no matter your velocity compared to yours, you are almost always going to go flying.
    - There is no easy way to drift, so expect to slow down and gently roll around some corners.
    - Ramps exist to be the bane of your existence. Expect to take a ramp and then fly off the stage or get reset somewhere further back because the game decided you didn't land well.
    - Online multiplayer lacks a lot of basic features.
    - Turning controls are really lacking.
    - The tracks are small and always turning. You never get a feeling that you're moving at a high speed and will constantly break

The unlocking of events makes for addictive and rewarding early grind, or if your a natural, less grinding!

    I'm not a fan of cars. Motor racing i associate with 2hours of going round in a loop with a car winning from the off and finally winning it. Most car games reflect this boredom i feel for the sport - but this, alongside the excellent Rocket League make excellent exceptions to the rule. This is an arcade like driving game, it feels like a more physics based mario-kart than anything else.

    Graphics are ok, nothing special, and the music isn't really to my taste, but it works.

    My only real flaw in this game is how easy it is to go from 1st to 8th due to what i see as AI bugs - generally AI opponents use their weapons against the leader, but i do find sometimes I'd be in the middle of the pack and seem to be the only one singled out for a rocket in my face.

    A fun game though, for FREE, a great game, if it wasn't I'd still pay £10 for this

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovated, but perhaps not in the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguable so.

    The map design/racetrack layouts make Table Top stand out. These maps have interactable environments and have hidden secrets to find. It’s a fun arcade style racer with battle system like Mario Cart. The controls are better than the newest Mario Kart games since it has a more grounded feeling. I hate the need to drift to go fast component of the new Mario Kart games. This game has a lot of content compared to similar games of the same genre and a lot cheaper. It’s pretty addictive too.
