    This game looks good enough on the Switch when it is in action but that is literally the only good thing I can say about it. It feels like a cheap mobile game, the handling is very poor, the game doesn't even have any rumble features, and the racing is simplistic at best. You have lazy course layouts that feel poorly designed and the game overall just feels boring to play.

It feels like a cheap mobile game, the handling is very poor, the game doesn't even have any rumble features, and the racing is simplistic at best. You have lazy course layouts that feel poorly designed and the game overall just feels boring to play. You have this oddly disconnected feel the entire time you are trying to race, keep in mind how there is absolutely no feedback in this game and the cars handle kinda oddly. Overall I have to give this game a negative score for feeling half-baked and unfinished.… Expand

    Even if you were to look at this title without comparing it to other arcade racers, Rise: Race the Future would simply be fine. The track designs are good, and the Challenge mode offers up something in lieu of multiplayer. However, with a limited selection of tracks and cars when compared to other games, Rise feels rather limited in terms of what the player can do before boredom sets in. Ultimately, the game does well as a quick snack, but it's doesn't need to be a permanent part of one's racing library.

    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 is a visually impressive arcade experience whose futuristic setting makes for plenty of fast-paced action with some interesting twists too. A lack of multiplayer and niggling control issues aside, Rise: Race the Future still makes for a thrilling change of pace especially if you’re starting to feel a little burned out on kart racers.
