Top-down racers are enjoying something of a renaissance lately, between last year’s indie darling Art Of Rally and Rush Rally Origins, which goes for a more realistic take on the isometric style. I’ll admit that the from-above perspective has never been my preferred way to play racing games, and so I tend to stay away from the subgenre. But Original Fire’s Circuit Superstars, which left early access on Tuesday, is working itself into my heart in a way none of its contemporaries have yet.
