Summary

Bought the £35 Switch racing game to compare with Mario Kart, but resented lengthy licenses and unskippable introductory cutscenes. Online matchmaking was quick, yet confusing controls, slow racing, awkward drifting, bland tracks, and long loading times frustrated him. After three rounds, he called it terrible, regretted the purchase, wished for refunds, recommended Mario Kart, and finished seventh.

Insight

His curiosity-driven Switch purchase follows a recent pattern of rapid novelty, frustration, and abandonment.
