Defunct Games reviews Velocity G by Repixel8, available now on Xbox One and PC for $4.99.
Although it has its problems, Velocity G is a competent and often fun racing game that was clearly inspired by the likes of F-Zero and WipEout. Unfortunately, it falls short of those classic franchises due to unremarkable course designs, repetitive race types and a difficulty so easy that you'll often wonder if the competition is even trying. This is a solid first stab at a futuristic racing game, but Velocity G just can't keep up with the classics of the genre.
