The value story
December 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $2.99. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 10 in the 3 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 16 weeks ago.
Value puts it in the top 1 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 96 percent. Among the games closest to it, Super Woden GP 2 ($12.99, scores 46) and Circuit Superstars ($19.99, scores 53) both come in lower.
This site sampled 382 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 5 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written August 2023 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 85 percent of the 220 reviews written there were positive, against 92 percent overall, and those are 19 percent of everything written about it.
Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

What players say
This is a better racer than most. Nuance of grip with tires, weather, and fuel weight. Carrying speed thru turns feels better than most arcade-racers. Its simplified enough to be more fun than a sim. This one strikes the perfect balance of "simcade" in a simplified package. I wish I'd praised it sooner.
