Star Wars: Galactic Racer Reviews
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is everything I hoped it would be. Fuse built a campaign that keeps giving me reasons to master the tracks, then made the racing feel good enough that I wanted to.

Star Wars Galactic Racer is the best arcade racer in years. It mixes compelling racing action, an addictive progression system, and excellent world building while stringing a narrative through it all. It's very fast, and very dangerous. It's also very, very good.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a tenacious thrill ride, and its unique run-based risk-and-reward structure is its defining feature.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a thoughtfully designed triumph. The excellent handling and eye-popping presentation would be enough to recommend the game alone, but I also love its buildcrafting aspects and roguelite campaign.With a breathtaking sense of speed and planets that demand you think differently about your approach, this is one of the better racing games available on the PS5.I think the release could be a little quicker at getting you behind the wheel, and of course more planets would always be appreciated. But minor nitpicks aside, I really can't recommend this highly enough.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer provides excellent, exhilarating racing gameplay, a cheesy but enjoyable underdog story, and some clunky roguelike trappings.
Well it's about time. Star Wars games have always taken on narrow assignments. The Jedi. The Soldiers. The Space Battles. Not since 2002, and the re...

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a fast-paced thrill that successfully captures the spirit of the Star Wars racing classic and delivers it in droves. While the story is drab and the longer runs can grow frustrating, everything else makes up for it. The unique rogue-lite structure, excellent handling and constant risk-reward choices make every run feel worthwhile and addictive, even in the face of failure. It's this perfect combination that makes Galactic Racer anything but - it's a strong success in every sense of the word.
STAR WARS: Galactic Racer is fast and dangerous ‘runs-based’ game with surprisingly deep mechanics without losing sight of what makes an arcade racer fun... Sci-fi arcade racers should be ridiculously quick and feel like your vehicle might fall apart at any moment, and for me, that's what makes this a genuinely impressive racing game in its own right.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer not only brings the best features of my favourite arcade racing game, Burnout 3, into the modern era, but also blends them with elements from my second favourite – Motorstorm. What’s more, the whole thing is wrapped up in a roguelike campaign with serious stakes, enough to stir up real excitement and ensure great replayability. Though easy to learn, the game’s driving mechanics prove to have considerable depth. The only downsides are the lack of split-screen and the poor layout of some tracks, but even so, the breakneck driving pace is incredibly fun.

One of the best arcade racing games in years, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a stunning debut for Fuse Games. With its thrilling racing action that feels like a cross between WipEout and Burnout and its engaging runs-based campaign mode, this is a triumph. The only let-down is that it doesn't have a more standard Arcade mode to let you set up your own events.
The tracks are all excellent, the music and sound effects are jaw-dropping, and both gameplay and customization have a ton of depth. The single player campaign is surprisingly good and has a lot more under the hood than I was expecting. Its roguelike elements are well-thought out, and will keep you coming back for more well after you beat the game.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a polished and highly enjoyable sci-fi racing game that successfully captures the thrill of the iconic Mos Espa race. There are few obvious flaws, but some aspects could use more content, better balance and further refinement. It is very good overall, even if it falls short of fully realizing its potential.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer will capture the hearts of not only franchise fans but also enthusiasts of brutal space racing. You can sense the vibe of Burnout here, along with the spirit of Episode I and the races on Tatooine.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is pretty much everything it should be. Threading the needle between next-gen Burnout and Star Wars-themed racer, it 's frantic, fun and incredibly enjoyable to play. The arcade-style action is a pure delight, and the run-based nature of the campaign gives it a ton of replay value, even if you don 't intend to dip your toes into the multiplayer. If you 're looking for a next-gen Episode 1 Racer, this is exactly what you 're hoping for.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer, at its core, is an amazingly well-designed Star Wars racing game. Despite its limitations and flaws, there was never a moment when its high-speed, high-stakes races became dull. Its tracks are impressively designed, capturing the look and feel of each location in the Star Wars universe, while the runs-based structure makes every race feel like there’s something at stake. Combine that with responsive controls, excellent sound design, and the sheer thrill of racing at breakneck speeds, and Galactic Racer delivers the kind of Star Wars racing game I’ve been waiting years to play. I can’t wait for the servers to go live and race against more players to see just how far my racing skills can take me in a galaxy far, far away.
