2 minute TLDR: Grip is a ton of fun, for people who are fans of the old Rollcage series. While not perfectly polished, the little snags the game does have don't massively hold it back from being enjoyable alone or with friends.

A lot of fun if you have a controller. You can buy it cheap too at $3.20 on sale. There's a bunch of dlc but its all cosmetic so no problem. I was honestly getting bored with all the games I have and somehow I feel like this is the best thing I've bought. Is it a realistic racer game? No its better. Its looks and runs great, is a lot of fun and has a good learning curve. The racing takes priority over combat/weapons which add a nice touch of flavor to the races. You can turn it off if it bothers you but its a lot of fun for me. Lots of good maps too. I just finished the campaign and I have to say its more there for you to learn the courses and get better. There is no story other than the rival system at the end of each tier. It lets you play through all the courses while upping the difficulty with each tier. A great way to keep learning the courses, have fun, and test your skills as the difficulty progressively increases. Yes buy this game and recommend it to others if you like it. Steam reviews are important for highlighting games like this.

This game does a good job of making the car you're driving actually FEEL fast, which is not something i can say about the newer triple A titles. The maps are beautiful and deliver a great atmosphere, i can almost imagine myself participating in an underground racing community in a distant future, across various planets and ecosystems. Soundtrack is pretty good, you got some DnB, techno, playing in the background while you're racing upside down, 400km/h trough what i can only describe as a giant (think matrix) maintenance tunnel, blasting the guy in front of you with a minigun. Reminds me of an old ''space racing'' android game which i used to play way back in middle school. It's got multiplayer, SPLITSCREEN LOCAL MULTIPLAYER, vehicle customization albeit little, limited to tires and paintjobs but its enough. Overall a great casual arcade experience.

Call it bias, nostalgia, whatever, but I'm willing to come off as potentially ignorant just to tell you that essentially there's nothing comparable to this game on the market. Physics, speed, maps, sounds, powerups, graphics, vehicles, difficulty, customization, music player, ultrawide support, high refresh rates... All of it, i have almost no complaints here. This is my racing bliss and until something better comes out it will stay that way. Real shame the multiplayer is a ghost town. Real shame Grip 2 doesn't seem like a possibility. Redout is the only alternative to this game that's worthy of being mentioned. It also beats this in the soundtrack department, by light years, but nothing much else.

Combat racing game with super fast paced gameplay. There is also an arena mode that places more emphasis in the combat aspect. Great graphics at the time that still are great to watch. Fairly decent selection of race tracks with a good, if generic and almost plot-less, campaign. Decent techno sounndtrack to top it off. VR compatibility is a plus. Some mechanics are underutilized, such as jumping. Vehicles could have used a little more variety in stats and attributes. I also feel that there could be more powerups available too. Overall, still a very good game even at full price, and has very deep discounts when it goes on sale, which is often. 9/10
