Like every Friday, it's time to see what the new one is App of the Week on the App Store and we verified that we once again have the opportunity to get hold of a game, although of a genre that we do not usually see much in this section, so fans should definitely take the opportunity: racing. We introduce you Ridge Racer Slipstream.
Ridge Racer Slipstream: another BANDAI NAMCO classic
We say that we are going to present you Ridge Racer Slipstream, but maybe you don't need too many introductions either, especially if you already have a certain background with gaming carreers, because it is one of the classics of the genre, with the stamp of BANDAI NAMCO. The normal thing is that arcade classics and video consoles that reach mobile devices are platform games, runners or at most action games, but variety is always welcome.
It is not, in any case, a version that seeks to make us feel nostalgic with the claim of keeping the gaming experience of the first installments intact. There is no 8-bit graphics here, or anything like it. On the contrary, one of the attractions of the game is that it is one of those titles that are usually classified as "video console quality", with great graphics and physics. In fact, the bad news is that on older devices it may not work well because it is relatively demanding.
Endless cars, tracks and game modes to choose from
And we said that the variety between some games and others is always appreciated, but also that offered by the game itself, and in the case of Ridge Racer Slipstream it's a lot. To begin with, and as in any racing game worth its salt, we have dozens of Car to choose from and hundreds of options customization to leave it to our liking, in addition to a fairly wide repertoire of circuits in which to test our skills behind the wheel.
But it is also interesting that we have several game modes in which to compete, since there is no lack of an online multiplayer, of course (the preferred option in the genre, probably), but it does not hurt to have a few options to play alone, among which a career mode stands out in which we can progress as pilots, but also other options for when what we are looking for is more of a quick game.
Free for a limited time
As always, although the ideal would be to download it now and try it this weekend, we will have until next Thursday to get hold of it. free. It is important, in any case, not to lose sight of the fact that apart from the fact that we save the cost of the initial download, we are not going to completely get rid of the in-app purchases, which keep popping up.
