You may or may not have noticed over the past month that a new game has been creeping into the "Top Free" games on the Xbox Store - that game is Starlit Kart Racing, which actually first released on Xbox on September 1st, but it's only now beginning to pick up a bit of steam.
So, what is Starlit Kart Racing, and is it actually worth your time? It's essentially a fairly generic kart racing game for up to four players, complete with a variety of modes (including plenty of tournaments), and as we mentioned before it's free to download. Plus, it comes with 1000G worth of achievements for you to complete.
The big downside to Starlit Kart Racing is that it's littered with microtransactions, encouraging you to spend real money to unlock new racers, cups and even difficulty levels. If you're looking to get the full (or nearly the full) 1000G out of this game and you're not willing to spend real money, be warned you'll be grinding for a very long time.
The game isn't the best, then, but if you're interested in just goofing around with a free kart racer, or maybe you just want to grab a few more easy achievements, it's worth a download at just over 1GB. You can grab it right now on Xbox!
Come show your skills as a pilot and your intelligence to use the super powers of karts! With this perfect combination, you will be the great Starlit Kart champion! Adrenaline fuels the mind-boggling races between heroes and villains from Starlit Adventures! Do you dare to join this team?

I've tried it already, it's ok. Ish.
Kids would definitely get some free fun out of it.
@EliSweetG they’re worth 50 Microsoft points a day. So a months worth is about an extra £1.50 to spend. It all adds up.
Wow an extra £1.50 to spend after a whole month. That’s £18 per year, Big deal? Doesn’t seem worth it for that.
If I want to play a Karting game I will the best which is Mario kart.
@Techno92LFC I find them more useful for Rewards quests where you need to get multiple achievements in a week/month which can add up to a good chunk. I got about £100 last year in Rewards points, and I'm planning on getting a Design Lab controller this year.
@EliSweetG I challenge you to a race on Starlit.
@EliSweetG you don't have reward points in Japan?
Personally I've tried these games from time to time just to rack up some extra points, but usually the games are so dull and boring that I often decide it's not worth the time either. Though every once in a while I might enjoy one more than I expected to. A lot of them are stretching a bit by considering themselves as actual games though, more like interactive stories that only involve a few buttons.
"Complete With Achievements (1000G)" is an entirely pointless statement. ALL Xbox One/X/S games have 1000G in Achievements...

@Illy42 Lots of games have more than 1000gs due to free DLC or updates, Forza Horizon 4 has about 2500, Skyrim 1500, Halo Anniversary collection 4000 and then there are the backwards compatible 360 arcade games that give 200 or 400 points
@EliSweetG I had no idea, I always assumed the rewards points were a universal thing. That's a real shame to be honest. Like everyone else said, it might not be a significant amount but they add up over time and it's nice to redeem them for a game or two every few months.
@EliSweetG and the walking dead series was fantastic, I didn't mean to bash all games like that, some really stand out for their story telling. I was thinking more along the lines of The Artful Escape, which was one of those easy achievement games, but i found it extremely dull and tedious after the first 20 minutes and just decided it wasn't worth the time haha.
P.S. sorry about the other comments, I like to think this is usually a respectful place for all gamers. You shouldn't have to deal with that here!
