FAN ART

World is big and full of stuff to do and find such as finding the wrecks to get cars.

Cars all have own look and own stats and own feel to them and alot of variety from well know cars to more different cars.

Customization and upgrades are nice as can upgrade the stats to make better and change look in terms of color and much more to make your dream car.

Difficulty options are nice as can change them at each race to replay race and make more or less challenging but even on easy setting is still a challenging game.

Pretty cars and detailed graphics

Cars handle floaty kinda like on ice not very solid on the ground.

World does not feel alive felt empty especially after finding wrecks was just easier to fast travel everywhere.

Server issues with connecting to the server and getting disconnected and even more during races can be annoying.

No way filter out other players to make the races just solo.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall the world is big and full of stuff to find such as cars and more and the cars all have own look and own stats and are nice and detailed also can be upgraded and nice difficulty options which you can change at each race to suit own preference. However for £44,99, the cars handle floaty like they on ice and not feel solid on the ground easy flip in bends and the world does not feel alive as felt empty and server issues trying to connect and getting disconnected during races can be annoying and no way to filter out real players to just play solo.

FAN ART

Controls are easy to pick up and play.

Enemies have alot of variety to them and all have own attacks to learn and own weaknesses to kill them such as overhead slam for enemies in bubble shields.

Difficulty options are nice to suit everyone and still challenging even on easy setting.

Skills can be upgraded to suit own style and has everything from more health to even extra lives and changes look of your attacks aswell.

Story is (CRAZY) and fun and interesting.

Detailed and fun levels with secrets to find.

Alot of moves and all have own feel and own uses to them.

Alot of humor to the game and alot of jokes.

Humor can be tiresome as alot of chatting and jokes and humor might not always land.

Lock on and camera can be fiddly when dealing with multiple enemies in combat.

No reason to replay the levels again as easy to 100% everything first try.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall has a crazy story with cool enemies and a easy pick up and play controls, nice difficulty options and still challenging even on easy with nice skills to learn and upgrade and alot of moves all have own feel and alot of humor to the game. However for £17.99, the lock on and the camera can be fiddly especially in combat with multiple enemies and no reason to replay the levels again as can 100% them on first try and the humor can be tiresome and alot of chatting and humor might not land everytime.

FAN ART

Story is fun and interesting.

Characters that you meet all have own look and all have own personality and agendas.

Nix is very awesome and very cute and surprisingly useful as can do alot of things like distracting people and can attack and rob people and flip switches and more.

Worlds are cool as all have own vibe to them and all have own stuff to do on them such as collectables, races, side missions and more.

Controls are easy to pick up and play which is always nice as not very complex or alot of combos to learn.

Difficulty options are nice as can adjust to suit own style and is still challenging even on easy setting.

Accessibility options are great as can fine tune to sort you and even remove some of the minigames such as lockpicking so instead of being a rhythm game you just press the trigger twice to unlock it and so many other options very good.

Stealth sections while not my favourite part in games appear alot and can be punishing if you are caught as some of the checkpoints can be far back and can be annoying.

Lockpicking and Slicing (hacking computers) minigames can be hard to figure out and get the timing and can be annoying slightly frustrating.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall story is fun and the characters all have own look and own personality and agendas to them with easy to pick up controls and fun and pretty worlds that all have own look and own vibe to them with loads to do such as collectables, races and NIX is so cute and useful and great accessibility options to suit everyone. However for £69.99, the punishing checkpoints if caught in stealth sections can be annoying and the lockpicking and slicing minigames can be hasrd and annoying to get used to.
