This is the 2025 kart pick. I will be honest about what Garfield Kart 2 is: it is not competing with the games at the top of this list on racing quality, and the brand is inherently absurd. But absurd is not the same as bad. The race structure is clean, the kart handling works for anyone who has touched a kart racer before, and the cups run quickly. At a LAN where people cycle in and out of sessions, a game with zero onboarding friction and immediate social chaos has real value. It placed here because it is the freshest kart option on PC right now, and freshness counts for something when you are putting together a session lineup.
