Fast Fusion should be an instant buy for new Nintendo Switch 2 owners, providing an incredible dose of futuristic racing and a great graphical showcase for the new console at a bargain price.

Nintendo Life - 90%

Fast Fusion may not have the most comprehensive collection of tracks, but it’s easily the most accomplished entry in Shin’en Multimedia’s series so far. The new jump ability adds a new layer of strategy to the gameplay, while experimenting with the fusion mechanic to find the perfect vehicle is a joy. The occasional grinding to save up money can be a momentary drag, but if you’re after something a bit more ‘hardcore’ than Mario Kart World, Fast Fusion is a no-brainer, and an absolute must-buy.

Hobby Consolas - 90%

An outstanding speed game that, although not the most complete in the world in terms of modes and options, puts at your fingertips a torrent of speed and adrenaline for very little money, and with interesting options like GameShare. Without any doubt, one of the first Switch 2 must-haves.

Starbit - 90%

Fast Fusion gives futuristic racers on the Nintendo Switch 2 a fantastic start. Not only it improves on its predecessors, it sets the standard for a new generation thanks to a gorgeous and impressive audiovisual performance, creative and challenging track design and a newfound approach to racing which will ensure a lifespan that will extend for a long time, all this topped with a flawless sense of speed. The new Nintendo Switch 2 could not have asked for a better futuristic racing game to open the gates.

Nintendo Insider - 90%

What it lacks in tracks, FAST Fusion more than makes up for in sheer blisteringly speedy fun. Stunning, smooth and dangerously addictive, between this, Mario Kart World and Arcade Archives 2 Ridge Racer, the Nintendo Switch 2 has been spoiled for racers.

Gameliner - 90%

Been craving a new F-Zero? Fast Fusion delivers the speed, style, and polish for just fifteen bucks. No online mode is a shame, but the slick fusion mechanic and tight gameplay make this an absolute gem for Switch 2 owners.

NintendoWorldReport - 85%

Fast Fusion is the deepest and most mechanically interesting game in Shin’en’s Fast series, and one I’ll be going back to on a regular basis. The level design is the best it’s ever been and when combined with the fusion system, makes for some great replayability. While I have some minor critiques of the image scaling implementation, the technical package overall is excellent. The Switch 2 has certainly come out of the gate as a racing powerhouse but don’t let Mario Kart World take all your attention. Fast Fusion is another great entry in this sci-fi racing series.

GamesRadar+ - 80%

A brilliantly fast and playable racing game that doesn’t cost the Earth, Fast Fusion is a superb example of what Switch 2 can deliver. Super Hero mode is pretty perfect, though some balancing issues and oddly fuzzy visuals take off some of the shine. This is really front of the pack.

Creative Bloq - 80%

If you want to showcase what Switch 2 can do, plug in Fast Fusion and let rip – beautiful, fast and innovative. The only drawback is a lack of online multiplayer.

Affordable doesn’t have to mean cheap: A rock-solid anti-gravity racer that’s simply fun without reinventing the wheel. And the price is a real treat.

Jauexvideo.com - 80%

Priced at just 15 euros and with the promise of free content to come, Fast Fusion is a very good futuristic racing game that will surely delight fans of the genre. It doesn’t burden itself with anything superfluous and races towards the finish line at hypersonic speed to the sound of frenzied electro music. With more circuits, in-depth ship customization, and a real campaign mode, it would have reached new horizons. As it stands, Shin’en’s game is a 100% arcade experience full of thrills that you would be wrong to miss out on.

IGN Benelux - 75%

FAST Fusion is a delightful racer with lightning-fast gameplay and some cool new mechanics. The game doesn’t offer a huge amount of content, but that’s perfectly fine for a price of 15 euros. Once again, FAST proves to be the ideal racer to alternate with Mario Kart. Visually, the game runs incredibly smoothly, although I do hope the image quality in handheld mode gets a bit of an upgrade through a patch.

Game Rant - 70%

Fast Fusion is available at a budget price of $14.99. Compared to some other Switch 2 games, it’s super cheap, and it definitely gives players their money’s worth, even with the lack of proper online multiplayer and misguided progression. Racing game fans that need something a little different from Mario Kart World should consider giving Fast Fusion a look. As long as they are aware of its shortcomings, they should still walk away satisfied with the overall package. Plus, Fast Fusion has new content on the horizon that should make it even more worthwhile.

Metro GameCentral - 70%

The best F-Zero clone since Fast RMX, with some extremely impressive visuals for a Switch 2 launch game, although the structure and track design lack Nintendo’s finesse.
