Retro Arcade-style Rally Racing in repurposed Parking Garages in big cities across North America + UK You said "Parking Garage"? The “Parking Garage Rally Circuit” tour comes into a city, selects a parking garage, and temporarily turns it into an exciting rally course for a week-long competition. Each track in the game is styled as a unique parking garage that has been turned into a race course. Players will use a map of North America + UK to chart their course from track to track across the globe. Rally... Circuit?!? This is a hybrid of Rally and circuit racing. From rally it draws the jumps and “one racer at a time against the clock” time-trial format. However, the tracks are similar to circuit racing, with each race consisting of multiple laps around the same track (the track may change slightly from lap to lap, however) Controls are very tight, simple and arcadey, similar to Mario Kart (accelerate, reverse, steer, drift), but with a bit more dynamic “smash into things” physics.
Runs well on modern hardware.

What a fantastic little game, the handling of the drifting is very satisfying, and the game has a great "loop" of constantly chaining your boosts to increase your speed. There are only a few tracks available, but all of them feel a lot of fun to play with. Some tracks are better than others, but all of them slapped. You also get three types of handling cars, only one is available from the start, and I think playing through all courses unlocks the next. Getting Gold Trophies isn't a nigh-impossible challenge, but it's also not a complete cake-walk, so I appreciate that there's a bit of room for error. Oh, and I can't not mention the soundtrack. Like, holy damn, what an incredible OST. I have no idea why the composer went THIS hard on a drifting game taken place on parking garages, but I'm happy that was the case. The game has retro graphics, but you have options to make things more "modern". I like the retro graphics, but the "original hardware" settings might be a little too much of an eye sore, so I do recommend tinkering a bit with the settings. I went with a middle-ground between retro and modern. There's also Steam Workshop compatibility for custom tracks, so you can play other user's creations whenever you feel bored from the original tracks. Achievements aren't too difficult, and, thank god, the Multiplayer achievement can be earned on Local, not exclusively to only Online. The Menu states that there's also mods for custom cars, but I haven't seen any on the Workshop yet, looks like it wasn't implemented into the game yet. There is a DLC coming with new tracks, so I think I'll be getting Day One. As for if I recommend this game or not, yeah, I recommend it. Just a reminder that a lot of the tracks are very narrow, as it's themed around parking garages, but the handling physics and controls aren't a problem for that. And... the game's workshop allows you to either download, or create, more broader tracks. 9/10.
overall amazing game, quadruple AAAA. although wound recommend playing with someone of competent smarts and not. MrCraft25679.
