What goes wrong
It hurts to not recommend, but as of launch, theres so much missing, just not enough content.
Seems you can't change keybinds making impossible for me to play. I can't use controllers, my hands just don't work that way.
There is no minimap, so maps are to be explored as you belt along at [...] Tldr, before I ramble, the game is boring.
Unfortunately, the game was released in a buggy state, and it always crashes/freezes at start up.
This game is not worth 60 dollars much less the egregious 80 they want you to pay for the "deluxe" edition.
What goes well
I can 100% say, if you're looking for a fast and exciting Star Wars arcade racer, then you cannot pass this up!
This game is the best disney's star wars has ever been and its certainly the best star wars game that has come out in the last ten years. it is fantastic hands down.
Really fun game with great optimization on Linux.
great game. a+ replay ability
What i love about the star wars galactic racer is that it has a similar art style to arc raiders & both of these are based on retro-futuristic settings.

Super fun game. I'm not a huge racing game fan so I wasn't sure if I'd like this or not. It's really fun and can either be really in depth or simple and straight forward depending on how you want...
Fun racer. I especially like playing with friends. The only complaint is that you can't really unlock cosmetics for multiplayer unless you do the singleplayer campaign, which I don't really care for.
This game is so good. It makes me so mad though at the same time but i love it, super addicting and fun to play. Best place i finished so far is 5th online, it is hard
