The verdict
A fast, good-looking Burnout-style Star Wars arcade racer with a roguelite campaign. Skip it if you want a Pod Racer sequel, need key rebinding or custom lobbies, or won't pay full price for limited content.
Great for
Controller players who love Burnout/Wipeout-style arcade racing and Star Wars, and enjoy roguelite runs
Main risk
Expecting a Pod Racer sequel and hitting no key rebinding, thin content and little podracing at full price
What players love
Fast, thrilling arcade racing

Podracing is minimal and not the focus
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 negative reviews
“The fact that you can't own a Podracer and you can only pilot one in specific story bits and challenges, which means that you can't customize one, is a huge disappointment.”

Rubber-banding and boost-spam racing
Mentioned in ~1 in 8 negative reviews
“The rubber banding is way too aggressive, making it feel less like a game and more like watching a mildly interactive cutscene.”
