The value story

It has never been cheaper than $3.99. That was July 2021. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 35 in the 7 years tracked, about 8 weeks apart.

It is pricier than 94 percent of its genre. Among the games that feel like it, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Collection ($19.99, scores 54) beats it on value, while it beats Trackmania® Turbo ($15.99, scores 19).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 4 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On an 8.9-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 17 of the 727 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 101 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 21 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 52 percent of the 621 reviews written there were positive, against 73 percent overall, and those are 23 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 8.9 hours; clearing it takes 27, which is 3.0 times the campaign.

The drop-off

Steam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On an 8.9-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements

What players say

Fun competitive/co-op Kart racer with great tracks, a killer soundtrack, extensive vehicle customization and a lengthy, challenging story mode.
DiogmitesRecommendedafter 6.5hMay 2026Read on Steam
In my opinion, this is the weakest of the 4 Sonic Racing games currently on steam. I can still recommend it, but barely. At its core, it's a very competent kart racing game. The driving is fun, the tracks are fine, the character is there, audio and music are pretty good, too. Team Adventure was a good idea in theory, but it has bad execution and it explains why they didn't bother to have a story mode in Sonic...
Deathwing DuckRecommendedafter 5.3hMay 2026Read on Steam
Has Denuvo. Online has been dead for a long time. Story is meh. Gameplay is fun to an extent. Had it on PS4 as well and it's the same thing. Will not be buying anymore Sega titles until Denuvo is removed from all games.
