Star Wars: Galactic Racer
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a runs-based, high-stakes reinvention of racing born in the lawless Outer Rim of the Star Wars galaxy. The Empire’s grip on the galaxy has finally broken, and with its fall comes a new obsession: speed. As the New Republic struggles to rebuild, gambling, entertainment, and glory fuel a booming underground. Out of this chaos, The Galactic League is born: an unsanctioned racing circuit where syndicates sponsor pilots, fortunes are won and lost in seconds, and only the bold survive. No Force. No prophecy. Just skill, strategy, and the will to rise.

- Love, craft and care in every element. Brilliant game and shot through with racer DNA.
- expected more but still reallt great game hope we get more of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- If you were a fan of Episode 1 racer, there is not a reason to miss out on this one. Racing is smooth and FAST, using your Ramjet and Afterburner and drifting through a sharp turn that turns the camera instantaneously is the best feeling in a racing game. It might appear like a very hard game at first, but its also a roguelite game. You can upgrade your speeder to make the next runs easier and different. I had a great time clearing the campaign, can't wait to do it again trying different builds!
Criticism
- Amazing Game . One of the best i have ever played ! Highly recommended . Probably one of the best racing Games of all Times
- It starts off being a crashfest, but you kinda like it. Then you sort of start to get it and finally beat the first part of the story and then the game just goes down hill further and further. it introduced more mechanics that make an already visually challenging game even more so. the environmental hazards become way over tuned the AI rubber banding is insane. they also need seem impervious or invulnerable to environmental hazards that are legal to you. The menu navigation isn't well designed. You often can't see what option you have highlighted. The didn't put a colour around the thing you're on, they just opted to enlarge it 5% bigger than the non selected options. it's too subtle and visually it just adds another cut to the hundred other cuts of pain the game causes. I have to admit that when it clicks for a few corners without crashing you do feel **** then you inevitably crash. or get crashed by the cheating AI, who all seems to just hunt you and not each other. Ultimately it's a rage induc

- Star Wars Galactic Racer is a Star-Wars-authentic thrill rush that may be the best racer in a decade. It’s such a wonderful, engaging experience that literally does everything right. Just be warned – as a roguelite – the on-ramp can take time while presenting a higher difficulty level.
- Star Wars Galactic Racer is the perfect racing game. Fast, furious and frenetic gameplay makes every corner and turn feel such a matter of life or death. A superb unique campaign full of great characters and moments, addictive gameplay loops and a plethora of content make this a game for the ages. The first time you podrace will stay in my memory forever, like being transported into the films. It will take some doing for this game to be displaced as my game of the year. In a year of heavyweight developers flexing their muscles, it’s a brand new team from Guildford who have captured my attention. Fuse Games, congratulations on a superb effort. Besides the fact I dream of yet more planets and tracks, this is the ultimate Star Wars racer. I already long for a sequel!
- What a surprise this Star Wars Galactic Racer is. Right from its initial releases, it looked promising, but now that we’ve put it through its paces for a long time, we’re even more surprised by the overall quality Fuse Games title. A delightful mix of Burnout and F-Zero, spiced up with roguelite elements that aren’t intrusive at all, in fact they raise the bar for fun even higher. With the exception of a few tracks "reading" issues - which, with practice, tend to resolve themselves anyway - we’re looking at one of the best arcade racing games of recent years: fun, challenging, and rock-solid in both single-player and multiplayer… a must play for Star Wars fans and everyone else.
