    It's okay. Not a pos nor a neg, kinda just in the middle with this. Very basic, straight forward. Some stages are not pleasant to look at and can be a distraction (too bright and sometimes the ground looks off). Because it's early access, I'll leave a thumbs up. Has potential in the future if dev decides to work on it more.

    This game scratches an itch I've had for a while, cute anime girl racing a bike. Even throws in cat ears. Also, the performance is solid and I haven't run into any bugs. It's very well made and fun to play. It makes me want to practice to get good enough to challenge the higher difficulties.

    This is Pure arcade fun! The first impact is very good. It's basically the old, good Super Night Riders improved in many things. The bike has an accelerator, but the real accelerator is the TURBO: use it like there's no tomorrow (and pay attention to the slow guys on the track)! Different game modes, many tracks, gradual transition from day to night, many difficulty levels. You can change the body physics [uhm, you know... ( . ) ( . ) ], the hair/eyes color, etc: The game gives you choice.…

    They say there's no second chance for a first impression. Good thing this game made a very good one! Gameplay-wise, there's not much to say. The feel is incredible, especially if you can stay on top of it. While there's only a few bikes to pick from, they control well. The controls are fairly simple and very responsive. Haven't run into bugs or problems, not counting a few occasional framerate hic-ups in the desert template. Visually, the game is definitely not extraordinary, but given that…

    The addictive gameplay of Super Night Riders is back, but now with a slew of new options, some beautiful new graphics, and a gameplay twist to boot! Miyu.Works Night Riders series has always had an excellent 'feel' to its gameplay. With Super Night Riders S1, players must now contend with a 'boost' function. This addition to the formula slightly changes the racing calculus, and it has so far been an amusing twist. Nevertheless, the 'core' of Night Riders remains: the onslaught of all the…

    The first Super Night Riders game felt like a mixture between insanely addictive Prototype with added Arcade functions. All is very fun and addictive but there wasn´t any polishing, Just the fun game and that´s it. With the first season now everything looks way more beatuiful, there are more levels, more game modes, more anime sequences as reward, some cosmetic adjustments for main protagonist Alice. This is Super Night Riders using its full potentional. Season one Rocks and ten bucks is a…

    A massive improvement on the original...and as is already mentioned, the inclusion of online leaderboards adds a whole new dimension to replay value. I also like the idea that leaderboards are shared across all difficulty settings, with the added incentive being that the harder you make the game, the higher the score you can potentially achieve....making it a rare occasion where you can play outside of your comfort zone and benefit from doing so. Steam Deck performance is very good with plenty…

    Summary An improved followup to miyu.works' enjoyable Hang-On/Super Hang-On inspired arcade racer. Who's it for? Anyone looking for an affordable, simple, classic arcade style game that delivers a decent challenge, and doesn't seek to be more than it is. Who is it not for? If you're looking for something deeper, more simulation focused, something entirely novel, can't enjoy the simple replayable repetition of a classic style arcade racer in and of itself and need more than that, or you know…

    There is a massive variety of tracks, the music is absolute fire, leaderboards make this game instantly more replayable, and finally the main character is a waifu simp magnet. I do not for a second regret my purchase and will make content for this game.

    Really fun driving game. The way you have to constantly weigh up whether it is worth using the bike's boost function to reach a checkpoint makes each second on stages really engrossing

    Super Night Riders S1 keeps arcade motorcycle racing simple: speed, traffic, checkpoints and a clock that never lets up. A focused PC racer built for quick runs and clean overtakes. #IndieGames #ArcadeRacing

    I don’t normally buy early access games, but I really enjoyed the original Super Night Riders. With that said, if you liked the original, you will like this one. It has some very nice QoL upgrades. This is one of those games you get in the zone, and it feels so good!

    Fantastic sequel to the fun checkpoint racer Super Night Riders. Very straight forward but fun checkpoint racing with deceptively STUNNING visuals. Lots of visual options to tweak to get the best out of the presentation as well. Most of the gameplay depth comes from managing your speed / boost and avoiding traffic as you make your way through awesome environments and reach the next checkpoint!

    Kinda torn on this one. I think it's fast and fun and gives that outrun feel, but the higher difficulties make it apparent that the game is *so* simple the only way to offer 'challenge' is to clutter the turns with other riders. I think the courses themselves should be the challenge, but this feels like a random series of lefts and rights and the only thing that changes is the backgrounds and how many times you bounce off traffic. I can see myself playing it more, but recommend to others? I…

    Really fun arcade racer. Great soundtrack, feels fun to play, a good amount of graphics options including 3D display which looks great using a Quest 3 to play on a big screen with the 3D on. Super Hang-On, but with an anime girl character so its better. I had fun and I'm sure I'll get more play time from it as I keep trying to beat the higher difficulties and stuff. Recommended.

    This is a great game that i wish i had gotten sooner since i skipped over it a few times before actually buying and god it was better than i was expecting, It looks really nice in 4K on an OLED and has good music aswell and the gameplay is also good, i haven't really spotted any bugs either apart from sometimes the lighting flashbanging me on some sections. I also played a bit on my Steam Deck and it was perfect on that too. I do hope it'll get a few updates down the line now that it's out of…

    It is a lovely successor to the old Super Night Riders. Every detail got some love, presentation got better, graphics are upgraded. Gamplay got an upgrade that I initially hated with the boost button. But turns out, reversing this and using the deactivation as a soft brake to make corners enhances the gameplay as it basically feels like either using some break on your bike or full on braking for emergencies. And in riding that's what you usually do: there is the keep straight and feel the…

    The appeal for an old fashion arcade racer is strong and well represented. However, the game is quite boring. Tracks are just rehashes of the same level with different aesthetics to give the appeal of different areas or more challenging courses. Beyond the leaderboard option, there is very little in terms of additional content which amounts to unlocking different costumes. Some may say that is a good thing, but I expected more. In all, it just doesn't offer much, beyond a very one…

    Useful tip: the choice of vehicle is NOT just about aesthetics; the last motorcycle is the fastest (if you stick with the basic one, you likely won't be able to beat certain races on Pro or Legend difficulty)

    A fun old skool racing game inspired from the 80s games. I've never played an old skool racing game before this and i really enjoyed it. It had a few issues on launch but i think most or all of them are fixed now. Getting high ranks on the leaderboards is fun but difficult. Trying to memorize the map while avoiding other bikers and keeping high speed is challenging but rewarding. It takes around 10 hours to 100% the game and get all achievements. 7.5/10 Buy on sale

    This games outside my usual sort of interest genrewise and I've never played any of it's inspirations but I've found myself really enjoying this one. The game itself is very straightforward, you just try to avoid crashing into other racers, go as fast as you can by using the boost as much as possible, and stay on track as best you can, roughly in that order of priority. Aesthetically the stages have decent variety, and it can be challenging at first to really differentiate them just on this…

    fun and charming nostalgic arcade racer, engaging music and gameplay. graphics are servicable to pleasing and fully customizable. defaults to LoD pop-in which is very oldschool but you can switch that off if you want, just as you can switch tons of different effects on and off. runs rock solid. here are some things i'd love to see added: the races with one timer (and no time gates) are a bit annoying when they start at 99.99 and stay there for most of the race. please add a third digit…

    I wish I could give this game two thumbs up. Super Hang-On (specifically the 3DS remaster) is one of my favourite games in this genre, and now someone has remade it with phenomenal controls/physics and anime waifus. What else do you need besides that? I'm not sure why the Steam algorithm recommended this game to me, but I'm so glad that it did. Recommend more games like this!

    An excellent little arcade motorcycle racing game in the vein of Super Hang-On. The controls are just where they need to be and the bike and tracks give you a good sense of speed. The music is an assortment of pounding rock tracks that really keep you pumped throughout the stages. The UI is alright, but most of the time you're going to be tunnel visioning the track itself, particularly the far end of your field of view for the entire race. What really helps this is that your current…

    I got lost in the settings menu but once I got out I was driving so fast that the world started to melt and warp and I couln't see anymore. So I started to sense instead, as my brain was disconnected the eye-to-butthole connection was established. Clench it and dodge no time to think, gotta go fast.
