"3D" sprite scaling games may look cool but they are not fun, especially the racing ones.

Modern indie games often wildly surpass retroshit, yes. Imagine thinking SotN is better than Hollow Knight.

Outrun.
Always has been always will be. Love going back to it and replaying it. The sequel isn't too bad either. Great soundtrack and the visuals are nice.

I don't blame you. People say "try this indie game" all the time, and it seems like a 1 in 500 chance that it'll be more than a half an hour of mindless fun at best that you forget about in a day and eventually delete and never play again

You're dangerously close to being redpilled. Replace "indie" with "arcade" and you've nailed it.

Power Drift.
Constant action. Quick races, Before the fanfare of one race has time to settle, you're revving up for the next.

has anyone here played Ray Tracers?
I'm told it's supposed to be a spiritual successor to Chase HQ.

it has full 3D graphics, but essentially plays like a 2.5D racer.

it has the key elements:
>emphasis on smooth and uninterrupted forward movement. there isn't a moment in the game where you have to make a sharp 90+ degree turn
