All the normal fixins are present: single races, grand prixs, and time trials hold the fort.
Hotshot Racing is an arcade racer in its purest form, with industry vets Lucky Mountain Games and Sumo Digital, the former having its hands dipped in several racing titles throughout the years, looking to nail the early 21st century need for speed for the modern times. And while some recent iterations don’t quite nail the complete experience, Hotshot Racing can stand tall as one of the best arcade racers to grace any platform. With console and online play taking over the need for hot-spot gaming areas, the classic arcade racer experience is held onto by new developers with the urge to burn rubber much like my own.
Time has not been kind to arcades in America, and the formerly frequent sightings of classic machines has dwindled. The low-poly racers that provided high speed thrills for a couple quarters out of your pocket, and a chance at bragging rights against your buddies or holding the course record on a highly used machine. Daytona USA, the Cruis’n series, OutRun, Sega Rally, the list goes on. Past the pinball machines, light gun shooters, and crane games, you’ll find the coin-op racers. "Developed by racing game veterans SUMO Nottingham and Lucky Mountain Games, Hotshot Racing is an all-new driving experience which revives the classic arcade gameplay of the 90s and thrusts it into the modern era.Take a trip back to the mid to late 1990s and early 2000s, and step into any arcade. " Hotshot Racing is a blisteringly fast arcade-style racing game fusing drift handling, razor-sharp retro visuals and an incredible sense of speed to create an exhilarating driving experiencem," reads the game's official description on Steam. "Mostly Positive" is the third highest rating a game can earn, below "Very Positive" and "Overwhelmingly Positive."
Whatever the case, on Steam itself the game has a "Mostly Positive" rating with 77 percent of 803 users review rating the game positively. The PC version specifically is at the bottom of this range, though it's unclear why this is. On Metacritic, it boasts scores ranging from 71 to 79, depending on the platform. Developed by both Sumo Digital and Lucky Mountain Games - and published by Curve Games - Hotshot Racing debuted back in 2020.
