A fun and interesting racing game!

Hill Climb Racing is the perfect combination of physics and distance in an arcade or car game genre. Developed by Fingersoft, this driving game requires you to drive as far as possible without flipping over the hill. With a depleting gas gauge, you need to use only two buttons to move the car. While one button accelerates the car, the other pushes the brake. Depending on the terrain, it’s easy to flip the car in this racing game. In fact, some environments require you to drive over big hills.

An easy-to-play game with good animation!

While there are plenty of car racing games for Windows PCs, Hill Climb Racing is a lightweight program. Thus, it doesn’t affect system performance. Though you can play Need for Speed and Forza Horizon 4 with good graphics, this game is ideal for low-end machines. It’s a good break from the usual fast-paced games of the same genre. Although this Windows game offers fun and interesting gameplay, it comes with outdated graphics, which can be a deterrent for some users.

What is the objective of Hill Climb Racing?

Hill Climb Racing is a simple physics-based game. The game requires you to run the vehicle on rough terrain without flipping over the hill. With each jump, you can earn bonus points. However, there’s always a risk of falling upside down and killing the driver. If you try to run the vehicle too slow, you’re prone to running out of fuel.

Like other car driving games, you get the option to choose from multiple vehicles, including Race Car, Monster Truck, Motocross Bike, and Jeep. In the beginning, only the Jeep is unlocked, and you can race in other cars after scoring the required points.

Additionally, the game allows you to choose from multiple locations, such as arctic, desert, countryside, cave, highway, and Moon. With each location, you need to follow the laws of physics to keep running the car. All the locations have subtle changes in terrain, environment, and rules of physics.

Can you upgrade the car in Hill Climb Racing?

Unlike Road Rash, where you keep driving the same vehicle, Hill Climb Racing lets you upgrade several aspects of the car with coins. Some of the prominent ones include engine, tires, and suspension. In the case of the race car and bike, you need specific enhancements to improve speed, fuel efficiency, and other parameters.

With every upgrade, the game explains what exactly to expect. In an educational setting, it describes what each upgrade offers, and how you can use the specific upgrade to maximize speed and efficiency. After playing this game, you’re even well-informed about different aspects of automobiles and spare parts.

Is Hill Climb Racing easy-to-play?

Unlike Need for Speed: Most Wanted and other popular titles, Hill Climb Racing is easy to play. All you need to do is use the accelerator and brake. This helps you control the pitch of the vehicle during flips and jumps. Additionally, these buttons let you brake on slopes and give the vehicle some acceleration on steep climbs.

It’s worth mentioning that the game takes a two-dimensional approach. In other words, while the animation looks good, the outdated graphics can be annoying. Having said that, Hill Climb Racing is a fun, addictive, and simple game not meant for hardcore gamers.

Since the game doesn’t take a graphic-focused approach, the character and vehicles may look cartoonish. Moreover, the scenery looks monotonous but keeps you glued to the screen with dangerous dips and increasing slopes.

An addictive car racing game for Windows!

In recent years, a lot of car racing games have been released online. While there are plenty of good choices, most of these games are heavy. On the other hand, Hill Climb Racing takes a cue from simple racing games from the 2000s and performs well on low-end machines. While it needs a graphics refresh, it’s not a major issue if you’re looking to pass some time with a simple game on your Microsoft Windows PC.

Hill Climb Racing comes with various vehicles, upgrades, and in-app purchases to offer fun, addictive, and interesting gameplay. If you’ve been looking for a game that offers a simple way to enjoy the car racing genre, this one will be an excellent choice. Most importantly, it’s free and doesn’t affect system performance. With several hill climbing environments, bonuses, levels, stages, engine upgrades, and challenges, it’s an adventurous ride for gamers.
