    This racing-action game features its fair share of progression with a few RPG-like elements and manages itself quite well thanks to its random track generator and lifespan, which will lead to racing and action game fans coming back to it over and over again.

    Road Redemption isn't pretty, but it is fun. You'll likely have some good fun with this Mad Max-a-like, especially with a friend in tow.

    When it works, it clicks into place and offers something more than so many racing games on the market. It’s an ideal game to dip in and out of through handheld as races don’t take long and you won’t lose any skill from taking a brief break. With a little patience, Road Redemption is a hell of a ride.

    Road Redemption is punctuated by moments of absolute chaos: cars flying through the air and crushing bikes beneath them or using your attacks to smash one rider into another, sending them both flying off a bridge. The game finds a way to capture my attention, but it isn’t polished enough to hold it. In trying to combine a variety of genres, Road Redemption ends up simply being a master of none.

After playing for a while, this just looks like another cash grap. Poorly made game that has been abandoned by dev, bought this when it was early access on steam. Since then the game has not been improved at all.
    Stale gameplay, unrealistic objectives, bad colision detection, driving... Its abysmal. The game is simply frustrating. Especially with a controller, forget using guns, its not worth it. Aim assist would help, but i dont think the dev will even consider improving switch port

    For fans of Road rash, save your money, this game is a bad attempt at a road rash tribute. I guess if you really want it, get it on steam, dev is still milking this cow with skin dlc's. Also at least you can use guns on pc with a mouse as it doesny feel like doing 10 things at once.    … Full Review »

    This game on the switch has one major flaw, it keeps crashing and losing your progress!

ItThe biggest disappointment among all switch games so far. First of all it’s simply not playable: - the bike is completely out of control. It can only go straight forward. Every time you need to turn - you are out from the track. And it’s not something you can get used to or adopt. No, it simply does NOT turn! - game freezes for a moment every 20-30 seconds or so

    Developers obviously tried to do a remake of classic Sega Road Rush game. Not only they are not even close, as I said, the game is totally not playable. And it’s me who loves original Road Rush a lot and was ready to forgive a lot just for a chance to play something similar to one of my favorite games!    … Full Review »
