    In Road Redemption, you’ll find plenty levels of challenging combat and races. The upgrade system is forgiving enough to bring you back into the game for multiple playthroughs. It’s a shame that there isn’t an online community for matches as this would have carried the experience that much farther. But as it stands, there’s enough here to warrant a purchase if you’re looking for an ass-kicking good time on the couch.

    When it all comes together, Road Redemption can offer some of the most thoroughly entertaining and over-the-top racing action you’ll find on the Switch. It’s a little rough around the edges and the performance could have done with a little optimisation prior to launch, but when a game’s as downright fun to play as this is, that’ll always be the overriding factor. The wait’s over, Road Rash fans: this is the modern spiritual successor you've been waiting for all these years.

    A racing game full of action. It offers a campaign mode with a simple story but with very entertaining levels, as well as a good free mode. It is highly recommended if you are going to play with friends, because if you play alone you can end up getting tired.

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 »
