Golden Lap Reviews
Overall, the release version of Golden Lap, even with those couple of areas where it could be better, is still very much the game I enjoyed in a short burst earlier in the year. It knows exactly what it wants to deliver, and does so in the wonderfully characterful manner that’s come to define Funselektor’s games and help them stand out from the racing crowd. Without giving you an actual whiff of the petrol fumes, properly deafening you with engine roar from behind the wheel or offering you a mouthful of podium bubbly, it manages to capture the spirit of what it depicts, and with a few tweaks, its pull could be even more irresistible.
Golden Lap is an addictive racing sim that has plenty of strategical elements for such a stripped back experience, making it fun to play.
A largely straightforward motorsport management game with a distinct visual style, Golden Lap manages to offer tactical race simulation with off-the-track drama in a minimalist package. It may not satisfy hardcore petrolheads, but for slightly more relaxed race enjoyers, it's a fine sim experience.
Golden Lap is a fun and accessible entry into the seriously lacking motorsport management genre. Its simplicity may put some people off, games of this nature tend to have an insane level of customisation and detail, but if you're looking for a more casual experience that doesn't take itself too seriously and is very easy to just pick up and play Golden Lap might be worth a look.
The minimalist nature of this management sim offers more depth than a game that’s maximalist. It’s a game that is mesmerizing and nail biting as you have to stand by and watch events unfold. Golden Lap is another special game from Funselektor, and one not to be missed. Golden Lap is infinitely replayable as you embark on a quest to beat the best, and to be the best.
