i unironically enjoyed the porn racer. guess ill be labeled a degen forever lol. in pursuit of something closer to Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled but on PC, i landed on this game and nearly played it to completion. i haven't kept up with the seasonal events or some of the updates over the last year or two, but i can speak fondly of what i did play. there's just enough depth that you could really sink a lot of hours in learning the mechanics and fastest routes for all the maps but the skill floor is low enough that it is really easy to get into (easier than Crash Team Racing for sure, maybe slightly harder than Mario Kart which is great!).

while the gameplay is simple and feels tight for the most part, there are some interactions that feel incredibly janky and leads me to thoughts along the lines of "this wouldn't have happened to me in crash or mario kart". i've definitely clipped on geometry that i didn't expect to be caught on, or have had the game's lakitu equivalent force me to drive straight at the slightest deviation from the main track. it could probably use some polish in that regard to be prevent unwanted situations.

i think all the maps are also great, if a little under-detailed. this can be chalked up to the in-game artstyle which has a cute polygon/voxel thing going on. as far as actual level design, all of the maps are good in that regard but no standout courses come to mind. some turns will ask you to cut much more than you can control but there's only about 3-5 maps that have sections like that.

there is also a good soundtrack here. definitely some catchy beats that could get stuck in your head, especially the main menu theme.

oh yeah and there's lots of smut unlockable content but you probably didn't need me to tell you that. lots of cheesy writing for the sake of being horny too, which is sometimes funny.

hopefully one day we get multiplayer so i can bully my friends into playing the smut racer with me
