Disclaimer: I battled so much with my thoughts whether to give this game a good or a bad review. I decided to give it a positive to not discourage devs (It's still an early access and even with that, devs are doing one hell of a great work so hats off, really), which doesn't mean I can personally recommend this game, I'll tell you why

TL;DR
Pros: Tracks, music, artstyle, willing to fill that kart racing hole on PC market (Screw you Activision for not releasing CTR:NF), modding scene (Seriously, the amount and quality of mods amazes me)
Cons: MarioKart-ish-like driving style, 1 unbalanced Power-Up (As for the date of writing this review)

I was really excited to try this game since I was a huge fan of CTR back in the PS1 days and I still can't understand why Activision can't/won't release the CTR:NF on PCs as there's a HUGE hole in this sector of games, it would be a 10 shot for them, I'd personally buy as soon as it's released (I had a privilege of playing CTR:NF on PS4 for a few hours and I really loved it) but unfortunately there are some flaws

So, 1st of all, driving mechanics:
That is fine... If you like Mario Kart mechanics. Like really, description of this game says: "Inspired by Crash Team Racing" but it more feels like Mario Kart. I'm the player who got platinum time relics in all campaign levels back on PS1 version of CTR and I had hundreds of hours in this game (I even repeated that months ago on emulator [Yeah, shame on me, I can't afford collecting old games, for now, maybe someday I'll be able to] and I managed to repeat that success) and I can't simply get that steering mechanics. They feel so unnatural to me. Yeah sure, being familiar with CTR, both PS1 and remake versions affect this perception but still, I'm struggling with 3rd difficulty level which I guess is equivalent of "Hard" and I can barely win the match against that AI, which already is factored by Power-Ups (I'll get to it later) and their ability to drive so fast. I really couldn't understand how fast they can drive while I'm doing my best to speed drift almost everytime I can

2nd problem - Power-Ups (Especially 1)
Don't get me wrong, Power-Ups are, more or less, really balanced, like the poison bottle, 3-usages blink or turbo boost. But there are also 2 really unbalanced power-ups, with 1 being EXTREMELY unfair. The less unfair one is one-shotting the leader. Like really, no matter how much HP I have this power-up literally oneshots you. I doubt it's fair, but kinda makes sense to make chances fair (I haven't noticed that power-up in online games, only against bots so I can't say how it feels during online games, sorry) The most unfair power-up is the voltage one. Imagine you get an Aku-Aku/Uka-Uka powerup in CTR, but it hits everyone in your RADIUS (You need to touch a player to knock him out, not to be near him) AND gives you speed boost. It is THAT unfair. Sure, TK2 is based on HP system but this powerup drains it so fast you're either FORCED to slow down to avoid getting hit by it or, if space allows it, drive on the sides of track. It's really frustrating to losing against that...

That game also has good sides, like tracks and music. Tracks are really beautiful and eye-enjoying and music is good too. Sure, it's not an eargasm but it's not that bad either. I really appreciate artstyle too, it's eye-pleasing so good job devs :) Also the modding scene, OMG the modding scene. I've played some workshop maps like Sewer Speedway and Drive-Thru map from CTR(NF) and DAMN, those were really nice detailed. Modders really are putting effort to give this game an infinite replayability

Overall, game isn't bad, it's just not made for me, if you like MarioKart driving style you should like this game too, I'm more used to CTR driving . I'll give this game a try after more updates as it's still an early access but as for now, i have to pass on it :(
Nonetheless I wish good luck to devs as this game really has a potental to be a good hole-filler for kart racers on PC ^^

If you've played Undertale, this is a must play
If you haven't... well, it's still a must play, these games aren't connected

VERY
GOOD
GAME

Game is fun, I've had a really great time playing it
But current situation with SPYWARE, thanks to EULA changes, makes me to write a negative review...

Whenever I think companies can't get ANY more stupid, I'm getting proven wrong Lol

As much as I dislike battle royales I can't say the same about this, I don't understand why but I really like this game, champions, skills, BALANCE (except of Brall but he got fixed, more or less Lol)
Try Supervive, it costs you nothing and perhaps you might find yourself a cool game to play, even better with friends/proper communication with teammates

As I stated in G2 review, absolute ♥♥♥♥ move from THQ to increase the cost twice because of upcoming Remake (Hell, charging that much for Switch versions was already absurdly weird) Game's fine, don't get me wrong but this is really an unacceptable, SONY-like move that should be hated, this is a 20+ years old game for ♥♥♥♥ sake, it SURELY shouldn't cost 20 euro. Truly disappointed in THQ for that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ move

Game is really good (All of these hours are because of mods) but ♥♥♥♥, making the game cost twice as before is an absolute ♥♥♥♥ idea, I understand we're closer to Gothic Remake but this looks like typical SONY move (Make original cost more or even unable to buy because a remaster is coming), absolutely disappointed in THQ with this one

Expect to see similar review under G1

If this will lose with remaster of Silent Hill 2 for GOTY award I'm gonna commit some war crimes

Great game, recommended

Great survival that's constantly being updated
