Riptide GP: Renegade

Super fun game, especially multiplayer. My remarks are pretty much what all the other people before me commented on. My biggest gripe about playing this game in single player is the difficulty. If you are playing on PC, once you get to the Firewater cop race, just give up. It's a really fun game up until that point. My friends and I have easily spent 10 hours on that one race and, even with the shortcuts and at the easiest setting, the best we've done is come in second (once). What is the point of having a difficulty selection?

Keep in mind this is a mobile port.
But it's very well optimised and thoroughly enjoyable on PC.
Def scratches the wave race nostalgia feeling.

I picked this up for like $3 USD and it was money well spent. Haven't seen many water racing games that are any good for years. Pick it up on sale, it is well worth the money.

I haven't played a ton of aquatic racing games, and for any that I have, it's been too long to know how they compare to Riptide. What I can say though is that I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's got 10 different transforming watercraft to unlock and upgrade throughout the career mode, and although I wasn't too interested in it, seems offer the player a fair bit of customization. As you level up you will gain money and skill points to upgrade your craft and unlock increasingly stylish tricks to be used in the 4 different event types: Race, Elimination, Slalom, and Freestyle. Each track has a lot of personality, and although you end up playing them multiple times, they never feel stale. What I enjoyed most about this game are the times you get sent soaring into the sky by massive boosts and discovering the shortcuts in each level, which become quite useful during the endgame boss challenges. I should also mention that I played this almost entirely on Steamdeck and it works flawlessly.

This game is really fun! It is similar to "Splashdown" with a little JetMoto mixed in. I like the variety of the stages and the action events in the stages. It is a fantastic casual racer when you just want an arcade style experience. The Controls are not super refined when turning, but you get used to it and with faster craft it seems to be less of an issue. I like the addition of the police chasing you mid-race, as that adds a little spice to the experience. I would recommend it if you want an arcade watercraft/hovercraft racing experience. Im not sure why no one has topped Wave Race? Is there something unappealing or difficult to program with Jetski games? This game seems to show that it is not that difficult, even if it could use a little precision polishing and better physics. Even so, this game is fun!

Really fun game, even if it gets a bit repetitive with the relatively low amount of tracks the game has to offer. Really reminds me of games like SSX, Wave Race and Jet Moto... (please bring back Jet Moto I am BEGGING you, I am on my hands and knees.)

It's mot Wave Race. But it's good. Nice Scenarios, Tracks and Sounds.
