I’m always looking for good arcade games that I can jump into and out of for a few minutes at a time without a meaningful time or learning commitment.

Just yesterday I picked up [Redout: Enhanced Edition](https://store.steampowered.com/app/517710/Redout_Enhanced_Edition/) at 80% off for $4 and I’m pretty stoked about it so far. It’s a spiritual successor to the old light bridge hovercraft racing games like wipeout and fzero.

Here’s a link to the sale on Green Man Gaming:

This is actually a resolution for a thread I created here 3 years ago trying to identify which specific light bridge hovercraft racer I remember from decades ago. Pacer was recommended, but it’s been like $30 ever since and I have not seen a single decent sale on it. Redout has finally scratched that itch for me.

> Trying to remember a game I used to like back in the day. Very likely on an Xbox but possibly PlayStation, somewhere in the 2001 to 2007 time span. It was a high speed racing game with hovercraft on light bridges. My memory is that the name was either a made up or foreign word or (most likely) both.
