https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10005570Start your engines for the biggest Sonic racing game yet! Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds rolls in on Sept. 25,...
Disney speedstorm has solid gameplay…. At the expense of being pay to win in most modes. I played enough to “unlock” split screen and politely explained to my kiddo he can only be one of like 3 characters. Damn shame the game has a slot machine barrier. As soon as this sonic game drops though I’m grabbing it.
That Nickelodeon Kart series is not too bad too, maybe it doesn’t look or play as well as the Disney one, but at least you get the characters with the game
Thanks for the suggestion! I think I have one of those from a humble bundle, I’ll have to check it out again (it’s been a while). The main thing I’m looking for is a kid friendly “auto steer / auto accelerate” mode that still gives him some sense of control. I noticed a lot of Nickelodeon, licensed games don’t include any voice acting, which irritates me, but the kiddo probably won’t mind.
The first two Sonic kart racing games were good, but I heard that the third one was a step down from the first two. (I’ve only played the first two myself.) I liked the fact that the first games had split screen for couch multiplayer on PC – that’s not common.

That fucking diss at Mario Kart World was fire
I still need to give the Sonic kart racing games a shot. It seems to be the only decent mascot kart racer available on PC.
Really wish the Crash Bandicoot one gets ported… But it’s still stuck on PlayStation…
Sonic Racing All Stars Transformed regularly went on sale for $5 and is incredibly good, it even has great singleplayer modes with good progression.
Yep. I’ve heard good things about All Star Racing several times now. Probably should get it…

Sounds like the kind of game I want to avoid like a contagious cancer.
This looks cool!

It’s going to have crossplay, so for me it’s already GOTY material.
