Race Without Nayr

Race with Ryan is a 2019 racing game developed by 3DClouds and published by Outright Games, released for the mh:awesomegames:PlayStation 4, mh:awesomegames:Xbox One, mh:awesomegames:Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows. The game is based on the YouTube channel mh:terribletvshows:Ryan's World.

In October 2020, an updated version of the game, Race with Ryan: Road Trip Deluxe Edition, was released, featuring additional tracks and characters.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Generic title and the logo looks like it was made by a kindergartner. (Which is ironic since Ryan was 8-years-old and in 2nd grade during the development of this game). Sound familiar?
 * 2) *Deluxe Edition's cover is just the same as the original cover, but Ryan was changed, including the logo, and it informs the player it has new tracks and racers.
 * 3) *It has exactly the same logo as the YouTube channel but with a different name slapped into it.
 * 4) The box art looks like if Ryan himself was copied-and-pasted/color-screened into it, just like Pop Idol.
 * 5) Expensive-looking graphics, even for late eighth-generation console standards. They look like a late ninth-generation console game.
 * 6) The game's source code is a fork of Xenon Racer, which in turn is a fork of All-Star Fruit Racing, given that these games were also developed by 3DClouds. The Cutting Room Floor has a page that shows both the former's leftover content, making this game a reskin of a reskin.
 * 7) Original cup names, such as "Hook Prize", "Pizza Cup", and "Hotdog Cup".
 * 8) The game is very long, and can be beaten in 30 hours or more.
 * 9) Horrible collision, especially when you crash into the walls.
 * 10) The AI is terrible to the point where you can easily crash into them, even if they crash into a wall first.
 * 11) The controls are abysmal and they feel broken most of the time.
 * 12) If you get anything other than 1st place, it counts as a loss. This can easily encourage kids to be sore losers.
 * 13) The kart is chosen with the character you choose, and this time, there is more than one of the same characters. They're just occupations.
 * 14) The characters are very lame, with most of them being anthropomorphic animals. Some of them also look very bizarre, such as the alligator named Gus and the penguin named Peck.
 * 15) One of the characters can only be unlocked if you play the game for over 2 hours, which is the exact amount of time it takes for a Steam game to be played before it can be refunded.
 * 16) The cutscenes are just Ryan Kaji himself and his parents playing the game, and some of them are poorly shot, poorly written, poorly animated, or poorly lip-synced. The latter two can be blamed on Adobe Character Animator, the software used.
 * 17) Poor voice acting. In fact, it sounds like Ryan was the only voice actor, which you can hear a whole lot. Such as game menus, cutscenes, gameplay, etc.
 * 18) * Plus, he never shuts up. And on top of that, it sometimes sounds like he's too close to the microphone.
 * 19) * The dialogue in general is painful to listen to.
 * 20) Ryan keeps appearing an awful lot during a race, which gets very annoying fast, looking like he is shoehorned into every single game.
 * 21) Poor product placement, such as the Surprise Eggs acting like the item boxes from games like Crash Team Racing and Mario Kart.
 * 22) The Road Trip pack and Deluxe Edition (both released in 2020) barely add anything new to the game.
 * 23) Overall, the game is a shallow and cynical cash grab aimed at promoting the Ryan's World brand.
 * 24) The game costs $40 at launch when you could be buying other bad racing games like Garfield Kart for $1 or a good racing game like Trackmania for free.

Reception
On Metacritic, the Nintendo Switch version of Race with Ryan received an average score of 49/100 based on four reviews, indicating "mixed or average" reviews. Nintendo Life gave it a 6/10 rating.

Trivia
=Videos= Trailers
 * Disturbingly enough, there's a thankfully-unused texture that is of Ryan with a horrific face that had “x”s for eyes, stitches in his mouth, and blood on his cheeks.
 * It could be possible that this was made as a joke, and that the developers (or at the least, one individual on the dev team), hated making this game.
