New Star GP
New Star GP is a casual, arcade game that aims for a particular aesthetic and gameplay that is in short supply these days. I'm glad it exists, and I'm touched by the strong love of motorsport it has present. I think it's a fun videogame to play, even with friends, but I think -empirically- it's an idea that is directly intended for those who enjoy the sport.

If you watch old F1 races on YouTube, this is the game for you. But everyone should be able to enjoy this charming, accessible, deep, and riveting racer. [Issue#39, p.92]
If you love retro racing games then I have great news because New Star GP is one of the best and it will surely keep you hooked.

Sehr gutes Spiel, Coole Karriere mit abwechslung durch (pro Epoche) anderer Streckenführung und Autos. Auserdem kann man das Team durch perks und Personalwechseln verbessern, das Auto kann man auch cool durch Upgrades verbessern

It’s a cool game with great graphics and a nice pace, but it gets repetitive fast.

Personally love this game. It’s gameplay is intuitive and pretty forgiving with a sense of strategy but I do have a couple gripes with this **** biggest issue personally is with difficulty. Specifically the race AI. They are great in the minigame races but my 1st race on pro difficulty with 2 or 3 upgrades I got 2nd and when I got to the 90s I won 3 races in a row with virtually no upgrades on my car which brings me to my next point. Development feels way too easy. You’re spoon-fed points for R&D and perks from minute 1 and you don’t really feel like a ‘new’ team. Also being limited to 3 upgrades per part causes you to max out in a particular area pretty fast and makes the existence of borrowing tech from other teams worthless. I think this is a great system for kids and casual players but it leaves you with a pretty empty experience if you’re looking for a challenge. I think it just needs to be fleshed out a little more and add another difficulty level with harder AI and a limit on upgrades per season. Overall though it’s an amazing game and a great time well worth the $30. The gameplay is solid, the minigames are fun and the systems for development, perks, and tech licensing are all great features. Really excited to see a sequel to this game.

Very good and interesting. I didn't know that a game like this I would have liked it so much, also because I generally don't like racing games but this has something different.

New Star GP captures the intense racing action of an F1 season, from on track action and pit strategy to building your team, but does so without losing any of the fun of an arcade racer.

New Star GP is a fun title that focuses on simplicity, but still innovates with its retro aesthetics and some additional choices that offer depth and a feeling of accessibility when controlling the vehicle on challenging tracks. The game allows current players to experience the past, embracing simplicity and the spirit of overcoming as drivers.

Perks like starting races in 9th place don't provide a real substitute. Furthermore, online multiplayer's omission is also disappointing, though at least there's local multiplayer for up to four players. These aren't deal breakers, though, and when the core campaign is this good, New Star GP comes recommended.

One of the most fun racing games around, but not at its full potential.
