Race The Sun

It's a fairly simple, minimalist runner where you go until the sun sets or you crash. That's not to say it's bad, though - it's very well made and pretty chill. There are numerous powerups you can use and the levels are procedurally generated. There are also upgrades and decals you can customize your ship with.
In addition to the main game mode there's a couple variations that are pretty fun; Apocalypse for a brutal challenge or Labyrinth for a chill maze. Note that the servers are offline now, so the leaderboards no longer function.

Clean. Aesthetic. Simple w/o being easy. Challenging w/o being Dark Souls. A great game to play while on the phone with your long-winded mother or listening to an audio book. This game is a must-have for my wife and me.

This is a game that everyone should have in their library. It's great for families too, my oldest loves to compete with me and my younger ones don't care how many times they die, it's still a blast for them.
You can break it out for a quick game or two even when you're short of time in your life. Its always exciting and its always fun. The game has aged like good wine, it could even be released today with no alterations.
Really, go ahead and just buy it. You'll not regret it.

I first played Race the Sun about a decade ago back when it released. For some reason I decided to boot it up again recently, only to find it has a free VR mode!
The game is superb in VR - looks absolutely incredible and is able to run at incredibly high framerates even on a potato computer thanks to the simplistic, low-poly design. Race the Sun is at its absolute best in VR, where you're fully immersed in the world and able to make fine adjustments much easier thanks to the added sense of depth.
If you play VR regularly on your PC, this game definitely deserves to be in your library.

One of my favorite pick up and play games on the Vita. Wonderful memories. So glad it's on Steam too. A perfect portable game once again on the Deck. <3

It's quite fun. The soundtrack is very chill, and the game gets progressively more fun the longer your run lasts.
A good roguelike racing(?) game.
I remembered this game being free, or at least very cheap, but I would advise getting it when it's on a sale, as the gameplay loops is quite short and repetitive

A nice game that's super chill yet also can bring up the adrenaline a bit - especially Apocalypse mode.
I keep coming back to it, sometimes i just feel the urge to race the sun for a few runs.
Also really nice soundtrack.
