Defunct Games reviews Hotshot Racing by Sumo Digital, out now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.
With great level designs and fun bonus modes, Hotshot Racing is more than just a nostalgia trip. This new game from Sumo Digital perfectly evokes the spirit of early 32-bit racers like Virtua Racing, all while offering a few modes and extras you wouldn't get back in the 1990s. It's shallow and it won't take you long to beat the Grand Prix, but Hotshot Racing delivers where it counts. This is the spiritual successor to Daytona USA that I've always wanted.
