REVIEW: Mario Kart Tour

Mario Kart Tour is a decent game. It’s fun for a few hours until the gacha elements begin taking over. There is some replayability, but it feels like progression hits a dead end fairly quickly. The glitches, reused assets, and bad business practices overtake the genuinely fun gameplay experience. If Nintendo charged $4.99 for the game upfront, and made unlocking characters, tracks, and items a process of game progression and skill, Mario Kart Tour could have taken advantage of its full potential. The game is worth downloading and playing for a while, but the main-series console titles will always be a superior experience.
