I love this game so much.
I am going to start off this review by saying, just get it, it's an incredible game.

Garfield Kart may look like a Mario Kart clone at first glance, but when you look more in depth into this game it really is a fun and amazing game. So please, feel free to read this review, I owe my life to this game as it honestly got my life back on track after my alcoholism.

Garfield Kart is a racing game that takes inspiration from many games such as Mario Kart or Sonic All-Stars Racing. It essentially takes a racing game formula and mixes it with party game elements, making this a great game to play with family and friends and spend countless hours playing. Generally if you would like to play Mario Kart and lack the Nintendo console, this would be the best replacement you could get. Let's say you would like to play Gran Turismo but lack the PlayStation, the realism and driving controls should be enough to make this a good replacement as well.

Pros:
Generally I was very surprised about all of the positive things I found with this game. For example I never thought that going into Garfield Kart that I would be able to get into aerodynamics on a basic level entirely by just playing Garfield Kart. It also had some others benefits for me such as easing my anxiety, allowing me to grow my relationships with friends and partners, fulfilled my sexual desires, answered questions I thought I would never have answered by the time that I died, and etc.

-The game features an amazing soundtrack composed by the amazing music artist, Rachel Wallace.

-Incredible graphics that will completely immerse you into the game, just don't drive to fast or you could accidentally end up in the hospital from peer shock.

-Stage layouts that offer for fun challenges, for both beginners and veterans of the racing game formula.

-Secret unlockables and Hats to unlock offering up to a whopping 16+ hours of gameplay, and offer lots of replayability.

-Fun quirky characters, and offering enough characters that everyone can relate with one character and really feel a bond growing between them and the Garfield character. (For me it was Nermal).

-Amazing sound design.

Cons:
I don't have that much negative to say about the game, but there are a few things I'd like to bring up with people just so that they are aware of what they might be getting themselves into. Garfield Kart offers complex systems that may be confusing for new players, making switching characters or attempting different playstyles very difficult for any new player that isn't willing to put time into this game. The real con here is that if you are going to play this game, you will need time. I have poured countless hours into this game and am now only realising the basics of statistics on vehicles and how much bouncing can be used to an advantage competitively. I would still recomend this game to people who don't want to put the time into this (50-150+ hours), just because everyone will enjoy this game, including casual player's looking for a fun racing game to play with friends.

-May take a lot of time for new players to get used to the in-depth systems in this game.
(Engine speed, fuel mileage, air pressure in tires, pit stops, etc.)

-Going from the start of the game to the final boss is allowed, but the difficulty is absurd for a rookie that could have gone to it by accident.

-Odie, I don't know why but I don't think he's okay. This is not a con, I am just concerned for his well being, especially due to his sad character arc.

This brings us to the conclusion of this review, would I recommend this game to you? My answer would be yes.
This game offers so many positive benefits that can effect your life forever that it would be absurd to not at least devout a good 5 hours into it, (even if you already are passionate about a religion you may still be invested in the culture of Garfield Kart). I really am grateful to Artefacts Studio for the amazing work that they had done while making this game, I really am thankful for all that you have done for me Artefacts, and you will be to future Garfield Kart member.
I'll see you cool cats on the race track!
