PC Critic Reviews

Parking Garage Rally Circuit will provide an instant shot of warm nostalgia for anyone who ever played a SEGA arcade racer in the mid 90s.

Despite its brevity, Parking Garage Rally Circuit packs a huge punch. It’s not just its perfectly emulated retro aesthetic or its near-flawless execution of its central concept, either. It’s just so damned happy to be here. You can feel the passion behind it, and that energy is felt in all its facets. It knows what it is, and it’s laser-focused on presenting it in the most finely-tuned way possible. I cannot fathom any game topping it in the niche of racing games contained entirely within parking garages. I’m not really sure what the best way to wrap up this review is, so let’s try this: Parking Garage Rally Circuit is miles more fun than parallel parking.

Parking Garage Rally Circuit channels raw thrills to create something truly magnificent. For those always on the hunt for the perfect line, Parking Garage Rally Circuit’s speed, challenge, and aesthetics help this arcade racer fly sky-high.

Parking Garage Rally Circuit makes a solid argument for racing games reaching their peak during the ‘90s. Sure, Walaber’s latest effort is capable of cultivating nostalgia, with its Saturn-era visuals and approachable controls. But it’s also a timeless test of skill without all the fluff found in modern racers.

Parking Garage Rally Circuit is a retro-inspired racer with smooth drifting controls and crazy tracks to race. This game can be very challenging yet rewarding at the same time!

The amazingly comprehensive retro flair, including a fantastic soundtrack, make this retro racing love letter something I like to let myself be carried away by. In terms of content and driving model, however, this runs out of gas somewhat quickly ... Parking Garage Rally Circuit is successful in what it does, but it's also a not much more than a short snack.

For a short while I have fun, when for once things go well for me. If it had continued like that without me being brutally punished time and time again, I'm sure there would have been a nice and addictive little game in there somewhere.
