"Masterful"
Filling the glaring absence of F-Zero on Switch, this antigravity racer launched at blistering speed delivers pure, clean, razor-sharp gliding. Boost managed as a resource, where switching polarity refuels your energy, rewards anticipation and mastery. Thirty acrobatic tracks and an electrifying soundtrack round it out. Content stays thin, but as a demanding speed rush it keeps all its worth.
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Streaking along anti-gravity tracks at dizzying speed instantly reawakens a love of futuristic racing. Managing your boost, which doubles as your health bar, forces exhilarating choices at full tilt. The sense of gliding, the gorgeous circuits and eight-player multiplayer keep the adrenaline pinned to the max.
At breakneck speed, the futuristic tracks become a battleground where the slightest off-line costs you the race. The competition is nervy and readable, all millimetre overtakes and dropped placements avenged the next lap. Full grids lived mostly online, whose future stays uncertain, but local play for up to four delivers instant clashes, perfect for short rounds you'll relaunch on a loop.
Is Fast RMX still worth playing in 2026?
Fast RMX fills a gaping hole on Switch: the absence of F-Zero. This anti-gravity racer launched at very high speed delivers the pure, clean sense of gliding that genre fans had been missing. The boost system, managed as a resource where you switch polarity to recover energy, demands anticipation and rewards mastery. Thirty acrobatic tracks and a supercharged electronic soundtrack round out the picture. The structure stays thin, with no real campaign. But as a demanding, fluid and technically superb speed rush, it keeps all of its value for anyone craving futuristic racing.
