Best anti-gravity racer out there and one of the best games ive ever played. Lots of mods to use for tracks and ships and also easy to make for too. Very rewarding and satisfying. The new 2280 ships with the updated physics are very nice and a lot of fun.

Despite its age (6 years from release now), it is still supported by the developpers (public 1.4 version is on its way). You can't say the same about the competition (I'm looking at you, Pacer ex-Formula Fusion). Of course, I'd be hyped by a game with modern visuals, maybe UE5, HD effects ... but that's not the core of AG racing. BallisticNG is the best Wipeout experience I had since Omega Collection and Fury. On top of that, the community is working hard to keep it alive, they're developing tons of mods for tracks, ships and liveries (maybe more, like the UI, but I've only looked for tracks and ships for now). You have to check the Steam workshop and if you join the Discord there are friendly modders who made mediafire folders to download everything in one place. Every monday 5:30PM EST / 22:30 GMT they are organizing multiplayer sessions there. For 12 € you have the best AG racing experience you can expect in 2024, with tons of mods, continuous support from developpers and modders and nice little community. What are you waiting for ?

It's a modern version of Wipeout and a great game to fill the hole F-Zero GX left behind. Nice aesthetics and a sense of real speed without camera fov tricks or particle effects. It really does get fast without becoming uncontrollable. The controls are easy to understand but difficult to master. No weird tricks. The campaign introduces the standard tracks with easy races and then puts you through a variety of different challenges. It starts at the lowest speed class to ease you in, and slowly increases speed as you progress through the campaign. By the time you reach the highest speed class, you will be familiar with the track layouts, so it won't be overwhelming. But if you want to earn platinum medals in every event, you will have to spend some time practicing. There is also a shit ton of content, game modes, options, multiplayer, and mod support. The only thing that's missing is a replay function (wtf).

I love this game. It's what you remember Wipeout being, but better. I'm not a game developer so I don't know why after the 90s Wipeout never felt the same, but for some reason, it didn't. When I first played Wipeout back in 96 or so, it felt so fast and fun to play. 2097 was better and Wipeout 3 great too. Then come the 21st Century, Wipeout games somehow never felt as fast or as fun to control. I thought it was nostalgia, but when you go back and play them, they really are different. The newer Wipeouts are still great, but not like the originals. Well this game perfectly recreates the 90s games and improves on them. The graphics are great, reminiscent of the PSX, but with a modern sheen, racing feels incredibly fast even at lower speed classes and the ships are really fun to control. Tons of content, great music and runs perfectly on Steam Deck. Next I hope these developers give us an HD recreation of Ridge Racer.

Don't be fooled by the graphics on display - the driving physics is the best rendition of wipeout like agrav racing in the market. I have tried an emulated wipeout pure, pulse, redout, and grip - I liked both wipeouts and this game is better than them. Redout is a more technical game and the ships feels like rockets than an anti gravity vehicle - it's far faster but Ballisticng strikes a great balance of speed and technical execution for handling - I definitely prefers BNG's feel. There is split screen coop with great customisation options and runs like a dream on steamdeck (make sure not to select any compatibility versions while using it in linux - there is weird acceleration bug)
