Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Developed by: Sumo Digital
Published by: SEGA
Released: Nov 2012 (Consoles), Jan 2013 (Steam), Jan 2014 (IOS & Android), Oct 2016 (Backwards compat. for Xbox One)

In short:

Without a contest the finest Kart racing game released on PC.

  • Excellent port from the console versions, runs great, plays great with both keys or a controller.
  • Large selection of tracks themed around classic Sega games, full of alternate routes and 'interactive' track changes, all featuring sections where your vehicles transform into either flying machines or speed boats.
  • Plenty of single player content, very challenging on higher difficulties, but of course where the game shines is in multiplayer.
  • Supports local co-op up to four players, and also lets you play local co-op in online multiplayer. Excellent net code, I've never noticed typical lag in friend or public lobbies.

If you plan to go it alone be warned though, while there is an online playerbase still for the game it is pretty small. Still , well worth having in your Steam library for those rare cases of couch co-op opportunities, or if you can round up some online friends for races.
