Racer 8

April 2, 2023 - Reading time: ~1 minute - Category: game library project

Boring, slow, soulless puzzle game that's frustrating to play.

The premise is simple: A car advances along a track and you edit the track to ensure the car can make it to the end. If any blocks are misaligned, the car crashes and you start over. It's really frustrating to play - you get no time to look at the map, and it can be hard to tell where one block ends and another begins. This was a really frustrating experience and would work much better as a mobile game with a graphic style that has a lot more contrast. It does not really work as a PC game.

Verdict: Uninstall

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, history, and anything else I find interesting. 

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
Reviews, where I post longer-form writeups
Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
