  • Summary: Redout is a tribute to the old racing monsters such as F-Zero, WipeOut, Rollcage, and POD. It is designed to be an uncompromising, fast, tough and satisfying driving experience, soaked in that vertigo that stands at the core of the arcade racing genre.

    Redout delivers excitement I haven’t felt since Nintendo released the last great F-Zero title over a decade ago. I don’t know if it’s the best racer I’ve ever played, but it’s almost certainly the most exhilarating, and earns its place among the very games it takes inspiration from.

    Redout delights with its fast, fluid pace and an incredible sense of speed. It's a great choice for perfectionists: although the game is very demanding and can make you gnash your teeth, every perfect lap is extremely satisfying.

    RedOut is fast and is furious. Its tight controls and spectacular tracks make it one of the best futuristic racing game out there.

    In the end, Redout is a very good racing game. It may not introduce anything completely new or revolutionize the genre, but it nails the fundamentals so well that fans will be glad that it exists. It has a great presentation and a decent track selection, while the amount of modes almost makes up for the lack of online community. If Redout represents the start of a comeback for futuristic racing, it is a good one, and genre fans will do well to pick it up.

    As its own developers admit, there’s an inspiration in games like Wipeout or F-Zero in both style and gameplay, but it manages to distance itself enough to have its own personality.

    Nails the look, the sound, and the speed, but Redout stalls on the sensation.

    PROs
    + Probably the best racing AG experience existing
    + Superlative sense of speed
    + Easy to learn, hard to master, super precise, responsive and innovative control system
    + Unmatchable aestetics: great stylized low poly style mixed with state of the art shading techniques
    + Great ships design and variety: enough choice to satisfy every player type
    + Smart, fresh and unrivaled track design (20 different tracks ATM)
    + Multiplayer works like a charm!
    + Hardcore experience. Not forgiving AI: this game is not for n00bs or crybabies

    CONs
    - Can't f*****g stop playing
    - Some minor bugs (devs said will be fixed soon)

    SUMMARY:
    This was made by a pretty much not known INDIE studio. Do you realize that???
    I played all the famous historical AG racing games, and so much time passed since the last time a I felt so much adrenaline racing. This game put you in the "ZONE" and keeps you there so well you will even forget to drink and sleep.
    This is what I was looking for: REDOUT is not only a game, but a COMPLETE EXPERIENCE.
    11/10 can't recommend enough.

    PS: Even my friends that are not inside racing games are loving it!

It's the antigravity racing I was waiting for! Extreme sense of speed, gorgeous aesthetics and mostly the controls are fantastic. The game is very funny and challenging, it feels you are in control of an antigravity ship, not just a car or something else, you can feel every single turn or jump, getting a curve in the right way is very rewarding. The sound and the music are also very well done and everything is melted perfectly, to create a wonderful orchestra. The Vr experience is nice, but it can be improved. The overall impression is super positive, I'm having great time with this game! Expand

È ben fatto e divertente, haRedout è un gioco di corse futuristico della italiana 34bigthings ispirato alle serie WipeOut, Rollcage e F-Zero. È ben fatto e divertente, ha una modalità carriera e la possibiltà di creare lobby per gareggiare online con altri giocatori (fino a 12). La colonna sonora è fantastica, pompa al punto giusto e varia in base a cosa succede in pista; La grafica è molto azzeccata, il design futuristico dei mezzi è molto elegante e le ambientazioni nelle mappe sono pazzesche! Dall'alta montagna al deserto, c'è persino l'Abruzzo (che amo). Il sistema dei power up aggiunge varietà al gameplay, anche se non ci sono le bombe e i missili di Rollcage. Le mappe sono varie sia nella tipologia di gara (eliminazione, torneo, gara a tempo...) sia nella struttura con giri della morte, salti, tempeste di sabbia, corse sottomarine... perciò munitevi di gamepad (la tastiera è supportata ma il controllo sul mezzo ne soffre parecchio) e preparatevi a correre a velocità assurde!
    Supporta il VR e presto uscirà anche per PS4, lo consiglio a tutti, specialmente agli appassionati del genere.

The perfect blend of F-Zero and Wipeout, with much more of the latter than the former, seamlessly brought into the modern era with fantastic graphics and a breathtaking feel of speed.

    Screenshots don't do it justice due to motion blurring, but actually playing it is pure, exhilarating joy. I mean, I totally suck at it, but it's one of those games you don't mind sucking at because you know it's your fault - the controls are beautifully done, and it's one of those "easy to pick up (and bounce off walls for a while) but difficult (and satisfying) to master" deals.

    Just one tiny criticism exists - the AI needs a slight overhaul. That's it. Everything else is simply flawless.

    Oh, and I'd be terrified of playing this in VR!
