Circuit Superstars (2021) - Every PC Rally Game
0Circuit Superstars by Original Fire Games/Square Enix, 2021.
Currently (at the time of making this video) in Early Access, Circuit Superstars plays like a dinky real-life version of Micro Machines, complete with the cutest pit stops you'll ever see! It contains a range of cars with one being a Ford Fiesta style rallycross car, as shown in this video.
Graphically it's very cute, but suffers from the occasional frame drop. All tracks have the same orange/purple lighting though and there's no time-of-day/night/rain settings (and no idea if they'll be added in future!).
Handling is what you'd expect; the smaller Fiat 500 style car that I included (despite technically being a track racer) handles notably different, and the game covers everything from muscle cars, classic 60s and 80s F1, truck racing, and more.
Sound is nice, and the main menu music is catchy. The game is mostly around circuit racing though, so I'm just hot lapping here. Maybe in future they'll expand the game in a more rallycross way (there are only a trio of tracks with offroad sections currently), but otherwise it's a fun-to-play little racer.
UPDATE: the game has now released, with at least one extra rallycross track, as well as the Top Gear track!
