Super Woden: Rally Edge

One of, if not THE best racing game for the Steam Deck.

A fun arcade rally game with a neat game design that runs smoothly on the Steam Deck. If you are on the watch for such a game that is really easy to get into, Rally Edge should be right up on your alley.

My thoughts on Super Wooden: Rally Edge are rather mixed but ultimately positive, given I finished the campaign. If you're a fan of older style isometric perspective racers, this is a good option. The aesthetic is cohesive, and the racing physics are (mostly) solid. My chief gripes are as follows: Seeming inconsistency of turn sharpness callouts varying from course to course or even level to level The weird physics that take place when hitting barriers, almost pinball like at times or at slower speeds. Limited numbers of retries for a stage. F*ck. That. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It's arbitrary, and only frustrates if you're struggling on a level. It's not without irritations, but it's solid enough to keep you distracted for about 7 hours. I also ran it on a GTX 950 for a bit, so weaker machines are viable with this one.

nice game old school handling runs nice on the Steamdeck

I liked a lot playing this game... at the start. As soon as you get in faster categories you realize that this is not a Rally game but a drifting one where copilot calls on the turns are most of the time late and often wrong. Cars are very unbalanced and if you want to race for the win you have to drive that particoular fully upgraded car in that category because all the other ones don't stand a chance I don't consider myself an expert in car games but I played a lot of them and this is the first time I can't understand why driving in the same way I get very different times on the same track. I had my share of fun and perhaps in the future I will change this to a positive one, but for now I'm so frustrated and sick at having to drift every step of the World Championship that I had to rage quit (even after winning) so it's a negative.

Good rally game but not perfect. I think the weakest point is the level design. I don't know how realistic the levels are (if they are realistic big kudos to real rally drivers) but I feel like they are quite curvy. The strange part is that your cars get faster and the levels get curvier at the same time. There are many moments I feel the game is trying to "catcha" you; the co-pilot is going to be like "easy right coming up just relax nothing to worry its easy right" ... then in the next 1 second its "EASY LEFT EASY RIGHT EASY LEFT HARD RIGHT!!!!" and I'm like wtf who designed this level lol. Never seen curves like this. But overall the driving is enjoyable and learning the game is satisfying, just would hope better level design.

so far, pretty nice. but to be honest, this game suffers from something that art of rally suffers, which is: if you go off track, even a LITTLE bit, it's like your engine is stalling, it slows you down SO much. skill issue on my end tbh, really good! love how the game looks and the filters they let you play with, handling feels good/nice. for $13 an absolute steal. i know i'm going to be spending lots of time on this wonderful new rally game!!

I'm surprised by how enjoyable the driving in this game is, I had fun playing it from start to finish. The physics and stages are amazing and I really like how there is a learning curve at first with how you need to balance the braking and coasting. Going for 100% completion is also fun, so I absolutely recommend this game to anyone looking to try arcade-style rally racing.
