SynthWave Burnout is a fun and stylish game with amazing neon visuals and a great synthwave soundtrack. The fast-paced gameplay keeps you entertained, while the retro-futuristic atmosphere makes every moment exciting. Although it could use more variety, it is a great choice for fans of racing, electronic music, and arcade-style action games.

It’s a fun racing game; the graphics could use a little polish, but honestly, it doesn't really get in the way.

Not as good as Retrowave. Better than Synthwave Driver, which is not saying much. Probably because more to do. I bought the first available car. Replayed level one several times. Gave me enough credits to unlock all levels. Got to the end of each level. Objectives only count towards credits earned. Played level two once. Played level three once. Played level four once. Played level five once. Game 100%, easily done.…
