Star Wars Galactic Racer Review
Star Wars Galactic Racer is the best Star Wars racing game in nearly a quarter of a century. This is unequivocally and objectively true, because Galactic Racer is the first release since the heyday of licensed Star Wars games that came alongside the cinematic prequel trilogy around the turn of the century. Galactic Racer is a reinvention of the pod racing classic that captures the magic of the N64 icon without the flaws. Taking this statement even further, it’s also one of the best arcade racing games ever that belongs alongside icons like Burnout, Mario Kart, Forza Horizon, F-Zero, Wipeout, Outrun and more.
Fuse Games have brought their decades of arcade racing experience to a galaxy far, far away to craft a phenomenal arcade racer that sidesteps typical genre pitfalls. Galactic Racer is a rare instance where removing the Star Wars brand wouldn’t diminish its appeal. Even without the iconic locations, sounds, and score, it remains a fantastic sci-fi arcade racer with an addictive roguelite loop. In this case, the addition of Star Wars doesn’t cover shallow gameplay or glaring issues. Instead, it amplifies the already fantastic elements, elevating the game to new heights.
