WTMG's Leo Faria: "I loved that New Star GP ended up being nothing like what I was expecting from it. I thought I was going to get a simple and straightforward love letter to Virtua Racing, only for it to be something more akin to the best F1 racing games from the mid to late 90s, with a perfect blend of accessible physics and simulation elements. New Star GP is adorably retro in its visuals and vibes, but it’s got some surprising amount of depth and an interesting career mode. A little hidden gem in the racing scene, without a doubt."
New Star GP strikes the perfect balance between delivering fast arcade gameplay and some of the depth you’d expect to see in a full-fledged F1 game.
“Another month has passed us by and during it, many incredible indie games released so let's celebrate the 12 best from March 2024.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
I really thought this was a Sega Virtua Racing revival when I first glanced at it. Really digging the style. Even the trees look like Virtua Racing. I'll have to check this out!
