EGS Staff Review

Fast, Chaotic, and Addictive Local & Online Multiplayer

SpeedRunners takes the pure thrill of Mario Kart racing, blends it with 2D side-scrolling platforming mechanics, and delivers one of the most intense competitive couch party games available. The grappling hook physics are highly responsive, and the ability to turn the tide of a race instantly with power-ups makes every match chaotic and engaging.

8.8 EGS Score
  • The Good: Exceptional physics engine, easy to pick up but extremely deep skill ceiling, great couch co-op.
  • The Bad: Matchmaking can sometimes match beginners with veterans, leading to a steep initial curve.
