    The Next Penelope brings back the classic overhead racing formula in a fun, exciting, and surprisingly varied way but its limited single player content makes it a somewhat less than stellar Odyssey.

    The Next Penelope: Race to Odysseus brings a very welcome mix to the usual racing game genre, presenting a wide variety of contents and a plot that acts as the thread for the races. Thanks to a simple and intuitive gameplay and to its challenging difficulty level, The Next Penelope only feels like it doesn't deliver when it comes to multiplayer, as it lacks an online multiplayer component, as well its short lifespan.

    In short, a glass half full and half empty, for a rather demanding indie which knows how to surprise and excite in any way. Of course, if only it had lasted a little longer.

I didn't find the gameplay all that engaging and some of the levels are more frustrating than fun. I decided to play something else after about an hour and a half and I'm very unlikely to ever return to this again.… Full Review »

    Nice! Very good and fun for the price. More races would have been better.
