If You’ve Played It, What Do You Think Of The Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Playtest?

Anyway, I’ve been playing some CrossWorlds and it’s been pretty fun! The drifting mechanics feel good, the gimmick of switching courses mid-race is really cool and seems to work smoothly, online races are chaotic yet enjoyable and competitive to the last, and ultimately I think there’s a lot to like about what Sonic Team is serving up here.

That’s not to say there aren’t some downsides as well though. I do feel like the racing in general, even though it’s chaotic, feels quite slow. There’s not really a feeling of high speed unless you’re boosting, which feels weird for a Sonic-based racing game. I also question whether it’s got the longevity to command full price out of a casual Sonic racing fan such as myself.

But that’s just me! What do you think of the Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds playtest so far, and will you be playing it tonight before it disappears? Remember, once it’s gone, it’ll be a case of waiting until September 25th for the full release.
