SlipStream

released May 21st of last year slipstream pays homage to old school arcade racing games giving you that mix between a 2d and 3d style game world, with its bright colors and jazz synth music rocking your speakers as you play.

slipstream reminds me of my arcade days playing cruise the world adding the ability to drift around turns truly a retro racer for the times of old but the game is not old, thanks to my humble bundle monthly sub I received this game and decided to try it out as it brought back memories of all the dollars I spent playing arcade racers growing up.

it offers the use of both mouse and keyboard as well as a controller not sure if steering wheels are allowed since 1 i don’t own any and 2 the steam page doesn’t disclose that information either its one of those games that lets you sit back and relax but sadly I wasn’t able to enjoy it as the bright colors speeding by made me feel sick and I didn’t wanna push my luck and end up worse off but the time I did spend playing the game really made it worth it as I miss playing old arcade racer games .

the next paragraph is taken directly from the steam page talking about the features of the game.
