    Rise: Race the Future is a fantastic racing game at its core that is held back only by the limits of its own ambition. While it would benefit greatly from a further exploration of its own mechanics and multiplayer functionality, it remains a very fun and technically-solid racer that can more than hold its own against the system’s best.

    As the checkered flag comes down on RISE: Race the Future, it has finished strong. The graphics, the driving mechanics, the tracks, the vehicles, and the play-time are all very good. The game is fun to play and challenging enough to keep you coming back for more. Even if you normally don’t get into racing games, RISE is definitely worth having in your Switch collection. Unfortunately, the lack of multiplayer is a significant omission that we can’t ignore.

    Rise: Race The Future could definitely be improved, but there’s a good enough base here that if you’re looking for a fun futuristic racing game, this one (mostly) delivers.

There is no multiplayer and the music is abysmal but the graphics and performance are about as good as it gets on Switch. There is a ton to do in this game, the load times are very fast and you can also customize every button. The handling is a little soft but the wide track lanes make up for it... The boost mechanic works really well for strategic overtaking and the opponent AI is good. Love this game as it is but it could really benefit from an update adding multiplayer, better music, and maybe replays.… Full Review »

    This is a good Arcade Racer, Good speed, mastering sliding is really a cool sensation, and nice graphics on the Switch.

    Great sense of speed, responsive controls, looking great and running smooth. Old-school arcade racing fun. No multiplayer though
