About This Game

Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a premium racing game set after the fall of the Empire. Players race landspeeders, speeder bikes, and podracers on an underground circuit in a runs-based roguelite campaign where crashes or lost league tokens end the run but permanent upgrades carry over. It offers deep vehicle and pilot customization, offline campaign and arcade modes, and online multiplayer for up to 12 racers.

Negatives

•Online multiplayer can match children with strangers in races, and the rating's Users Interact element means players can communicate during play.
•In-race comms chatter is combative, with racers jeering and protesting at one another.
•Cutscenes show characters pushing, shoving, being dragged away, and getting shot with blasters.
•Runs end after too many crashes or lost league tokens, which can be frustrating for younger racers.

Positives

•Deep vehicle customization covers body style, individual components, paint schemes, hues, and surface wear, plus pilot outfit, helmet, colours, and voice.
•The roguelite campaign rewards track learning, upgrade strategy, and planning, with permanent upgrades carrying over between runs.
•Offline campaign, arcade, and scenario modes allow solo play without needing to go online.
•The game is a premium release with no season pass model, reducing ongoing purchase pressure.
