Namco Bandai, a legendary game developer and publisher,
known for such titles including Tekken, Ace Combat and Pacman, are now breaking
into the F2P scene. With their recent outing of turning the Tekken series into
a F2P-viable game, they’re now looking to give their Ridge Racer series the
same treatment with Ridge Racer: Driftopia, a F2P version of last year’s
previous title: Ridge Racer: Unbounded. While the idea sounds good on paper,
after several hours of play, I have come to the awful conclusion that this
game, in is current state, is quite possibly the worst example of how to
structure a F2P game ever.
