The WhatsNext verdict
Wild Animal Racing is a bizarre comedy curio whose true strength is its surreal presentation and party-game absurdity, not its driving. Play it with friends if you enjoy deliberately janky cult oddities, but choose Mario Kart-style alternatives for serious racing.
What it does best
Absurd animal-kart comedy that is impossible to take seriously
A gloriously strange look you will recognize instantly
A cheap party racer built for laughing with friends
What might put you off
Sloppy handling and weak racing fundamentals
The positive review culture is heavily ironic
The setup
