    Slipstream is a Brazilian one-man masterpiece of a retro racing game that pays an honorable homage to the classical games of the genre. Despite its apparent simplicity, the game has a lot of variety that will keep you entertained for hours and hours and hours.

    While simple at first, Slipstream's gameplay becomes more complex and addictive as the game goes on, and the variety of game modes and effects, as well as its marvelous visual environment make this game a fabulous choice for those seeking some retro-inspired driving fun, which could have been even better if it featured an online multiplayer experience.

    Slipstream's retro arcade proposal knows very well its roots, who it's aimed for and where it wants to take the original formula, adding just the new elements and changes needed for not being a simple OutRun clone. If you loved Sega's classic runner, you've a high chance of falling in love with it.

    Slipstream is a nice homage to the Out Run series: almost perfect to play in portability on Nintendo Switch, wearing a pair of headphones to fully enjoy its captivating soundtrack.

    A hit and miss, bit mostly a miss. It leverages mechanics from great titles but badly executed.

The range of game modes on offer is pretty impressive, although the menus to navigate through all this a a bit dull. I've given this a 7 instead of an 8 because I moved on from this game pretty quickly and I'm not sure if I'll come back to it. Slipstream is certainly worth picking up on sale if you enjoy arcade-style racers.… Full Review »

    Love the soundtrack and concept. Hoping for more updates, a sequel perhaps?. For 9.99 it worth it if you enjoy retro.
