What Pacer is
Pacer is an indie game developed by R8 Games and released in 2020. It is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 4.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Pacer (formely known as Formula Fusion) is an anti-gravity racing game which pits your racing pedigree up against the rest of the world. Tackle the single player campaign and become the best pilot against the AI over leagues and championships, or play against the world in multiplayer and compete in a sports league where you can take either yourself or your team to the top step.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action and science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer, Single player and Split screen. There are 38 achievements to unlock.
How it was received
Pacer holds a critic score of 75 out of 100. That places it above 49% of the 5,098 rated indie games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2020 averaged 73, so it scored 2 points above the year average.
What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for i5 2.7GHz / AMD A10-5700 OR FX-6300, 8 GB RAM and Nvidia Geforce 740 / R7 260. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 17GB. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Pacer launched on 17 September 2020, within three weeks of Marvel's Avengers, Hades, Hades and Genshin Impact. It reviewed better than 1 of the 4. It arrived 7 years into the PlayStation 4's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Marvel's Avengers, Hades, Hades, Genshin Impact.
