    I might be in the minority, but I prefer playing runners on my TV. The gameplay is very simple, But there are little nuances to the game that can make a world of difference in the form of upgrades you can give your vehicle.

Very solid game. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is amazingly fun, and fast paced. I love the fluidity. The only bad thing I would say is that there are some parts with how fast your ship goes it is easy to crash in between the pillars when trying to grab certain perks. Expand

    This game is completely in my wheelhouse, as the saying goes. It’s great if you have a few minutes to wait for something (such as a game update finishing up), but it’s equally superb at getting you to play it just one more time. Therefore, you won’t be returning to your planned activity until you start yet another race you know without a doubt you will lose … and you’re quite okay with that. Race the Sun is a fantastic game at a bargain price that deserves a portion of your Xbox One’s hard drive space.

    To unlock the top tier attachments, and modes, it will take some dedication, and eventually gameplay does become easier, but no matter how good you get you’ll eventually crash or have the sun set on your gameplay. The pace is frantic, the speed is tense, and Race the Sun is a perfect pick up and play game that allows for short burst play. I don’t suggest sitting for hours at a time with it, as the courses change each day, but if you’re looking for a quick in-between game, you can try and Race the Sun, but your enjoyment may vary depending on the day.

    Today I love Race The Sun. Tomorrow though? Well that may well be a different story. But at least I’ll only have to wait 24 hours before loving it again.
