Star Wars: Galactic Racer aims to bring consequence back to racing games, offering the kind of white-knuckle thrills you can only get when your life is on the line with every corner you take. That's why its campaign is built on a roguelike-style, run-based structure and after an hour of hands-on time at Summer Game Fest, I can say that the combination has produced some spectacular results. This is a game that feels incredible to play, offers a real sense of danger, and captures the Star Wars vibe impeccably.
"We were trying to push the genre forward by looking at some things that we might have done and used to do in the past that have been missing," Matt Webster, founder and CEO of developer Fuse Games explains. The team aims to create the feeling that "when I crash, when I hit something, there is a consequence to that, and I feel like that's been a little bit missing out of the racing genre."
