Assoluto Racing Nintendo Switch review: Handheld racer requires internet to load, and that’s not even the worst of it

Assoluto Racing has made the jump to Nintendo Switch after 10 years as an iOS and Android title.

And as for the rally stages resetting you back to the start line if you crash – with all your elapsed time still counted – I don’t know what to say.

There is no dedicated Switch 2 version, so playing the game on Switch 2 sees you using ‘boost mode’ where you’re seeing the docked version of the Switch game playing at 1080p on your handheld.

Overall, Assoluto Racing on Switch has some merit in its smooth driving engine and car licenses, but even if it was free to play, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Score: 3/10 “Not the Gran Turismo-style game Switch is crying out for”
