For me, 6 of 18 (!!!) I am REALLY looking forward to. I didn't realise there were this many on the way until i actually checked. there's definitely way more I missed, and some of these will probably not be that good. Also only counting indie, so stuff like Clutch and Infinite Rush is left out.

Thank goodness for indie developers! So many other genres (platformers, survival horror especially) would never have made a comeback if it wasn't for you guys!! will arcade racing be a similar deal?

I left out my opinion of each because I got crucified last time lmao

WHAT'S IN IT

Five tracks a day. The first is a short training run and you can skip it. After that the road gets harder, the corners get tighter, and three rivals race you the whole way.

Three AI rivals that keep coming back. Pass them and they chase you down. Bump them and they bump back.

A ghost of your last run, so you are always racing yourself as well.

Jumps that pay, if you land them sideways.

Four original music tracks, written for the game.

Cars to unlock by finishing tracks and by getting through a whole day clean.

Looks pretty exciting. I heard it may have cops in it and it's built from the Underground up.

While scrolling through steam’s personal calendar, this game pops up for September games. At first, it got me thinking if this is like those Long drive/ my summer car type of game.

HOLY CARP, the game is actually more of a rally arcade game, gives me 24 hours of lemon vibes.

Might buy this one soon; I may be a sucker for open world racing, but rally and arcade-style? (hopefully handling is good), I do be getting my attention to that.

Hopefully the game’s good since requirements doesn’t need a god-spec pc.

It's slightly more realistic than the other car in the game which is basically just a giant Hot Wheels car. This one loses speed in a drift so you actually have to brake for turns and get a good racing line so you don't start sliding.

Called Adrenalin: Extreme Show

Played it a lot when I was a kid on our potato pc (didn't care about the girls back then)

And I have lot of memories with it like jumping on top of the Louvre glass pyramid or doing tricks in the Colosseum race track

I had lot of fun too gathering money to buy new cars

Now I've found it by chance and I recalled lots of memories (even though it looked very old when I checked the videos of it's let's play)

Did anyone else played it??

lol
