Give this game a try. This is a game I never thought I'd like but 1.5k hours later I stand corrected. This game has a lot of potential. Firstly the concept of the game is really easy, drive your car to hit a ball into the opponent's goal... and that's it. That takes you from n00b level to elite eSport level. The top level players are always finding new mechanics, meta and more meaning there is no real limit to the game. While the people in this game can being toxic, and some physics still drives me bonkers, overall the design is really well done. So give this game a try and join me in wasting many many many many many many hours away with fun and friends.

I wish I could give a neutral rating for this game – as I can not, I'm just going to have to give the rating on how I felt (me, myself and I alone). This game is clean, nice and well made, but I feel some more polish is needed between the user and character conversation. The game elements sometimes made the game tedious and the sarcastic nature of the character meant I never really gained a relationship with it. As such, by the end of the game I was ready to stop.

Pros
+ The game is a well made in game mechanics.
+ It's a nice time killer to play around.
+ Minimalism design looks great.

Cons
- I never connected with character/story (and this could be me alone, not everyone else).
- Text boxes sometimes went too fast when I was wanting to take time.
- Controls and environment can be “tedious” (and not challenging).

I think other would enjoy this game and I DID enjoy some bits of it, but it's hard and by the end of the game I just wanted it to finish. :/

If you would like to see how this progressed then I recorded my game play and live commentary on my youtube channel. I hope my review and footage helps you understand what happened between myself and the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmxyegO7s6o
