In less than an hour though, I found myself zooming around the racetrack, weaving between cars, drifting around sharp turns, edging into the lead, and feeling awesome. To be frank, I am not skilled at racing games at all, and starting out on Hotshot Racing was tough enough for me that I really had to focus. Each track feels unique and I loved how some tracks had special moments on the final lap. Even though the action is fast and furious, I found myself occupied by the landscapes. Colorful, low-poly locales are full of subtle details and the game’s camera options let racers soak it all in. The visual style is definitely the standout feature of Hotshot Racing. These modifications do not affect gameplay and they can be hard to see much of a change on the vehicle due to the low-poly graphical style but it is a fun system to tinker with, adding just enough of a personal touch to keep players engaged with the various challenges.
Each character has a choice of four vehicles and each of them can be altered through unlockable cosmetics. Players can race with one of eight characters across sixteen tracks in single-player, four-player split-screen, or eight-player online competitions Time Trials can only be done in single-player. While the visuals may invoke memories of classics like Ridge Racer or Outrun, Hotshot Racing brings just the right mix of modern flair and mechanical depth, all while not taking itself too seriously.ĭeveloped by Sumo Digital and Lucky Mountain Games, Hotshot Racing is exactly what it sounds like it’s a racing game with a cast of ego-centric characters all vying for the spotlight. That said, I sometimes enjoy arcade-style racing games and Hotshot Racing fits into that subgenre nicely.
Aside from sports simulations, racing is one of my least favorite genres. Racing games rarely keep my interest for long.
