HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED™

Free on Epic for 24 hours (27 Dec 2024)

[b]If you’re the kind of player who wants to collect every car, I strongly do not recommend this game.[/b] The developers made the baffling decision to lock cars behind time‑limited battle passes. Those passes are now expired, which means some cars are completely unobtainable in a legitimate way. The only way to get them today is by downloading someone else’s save file, which completely undermines the point of progression and collecting. That kind of design might work in a free‑to‑play live service game, but for a paid arcade racer, it’s unacceptable. Artificial scarcity and FOMO-driven content have no place here, and it completely soured the experience for me. That said, Hot Wheels Unleashed is fun at its core. The racing is fast, arcadey, and visually satisfying, especially for fans of the brand. Tracks are creative, and the driving model is easy to pick up. Unfortunately, the FOMO-heavy progression system drags everything down. Locking permanent content behind expired passes is a player-hostile decision, and I can’t overlook it. [h1]Verdict – 4/10[/h1] Fun arcade racer with solid mechanics, but ruined by terrible FOMO design and permanently missable content. If you care about completion or fair progression, steer clear.

This game has been bricked for the steam deck for what appears to be years. As soon as you try to load the game a “Fatal Error” appears and the game force quits. No updates from Steam or the developers best I can tell. My 3 year old won’t stop asking to play the Hot Wheels game and I can’t find assistance anywhere. What a bummer.

This was one of the first games I got for the Steam Deck. Ran great and was a blast to play. But now it is completely broken!?! It was verified now unsupported making a game I purchased for the Deck useless! If you are planning on playing on the Deck, do not buy this game!

Game doesn’t run on Steam Deck. No track loads past 24%. Seriously, how is this game still Verified on the Deck ?

Fun in short bursts with decent racing, but gets samey, bland and boring very fast. Also monetization is really annoying. Dont recommend it.

seems like they fixed d issue with steamdeck. played boss and normal racing mode both were running smooth

[code]Played on the Steamdeck [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]@MatureContent[/url][/code] This is another one of those games that is priced unreasonably high, but often goes on sale 80-90% off, and at that price is actually a good deal. I got this during sale for like 4 to 5 bucks I think, and I easily found 5 bucks worth of fun in it. This game is like a mix of an arcade racer and car collecting thing, where you open packs to unlock cars that you can then race with, the perfect formula for Hot Wheels. Most of the tracks are cool, though maybe a bit too simplistic, not all of them stayed fun for long. The car collection is pretty good though and offers a lot of different Hot Wheels, from the normal kind to the crazy kind. I played this with my wife on her Steam Deck and we had fun, so I definitely recommend it if you can grab it on sale for around the same that I paid. ————————————————————————————— [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45534557/]Help me out by following my Curator, I’d really appreciate it!![/url]
