Inertial Drift is a racing game that was released in 2020 on PS4. Our guy Ian reviewed it back then and kind of liked it but wasn’t overly sold thanks to the erratic difficulty balance and a lack of cohesion in terms of what type of game it wanted to be. […]

Super Woden GP is an isometric racing game from Spanish software studio ViJuDa that landed on Windows last year but has now found its way across to PSN courtesy of publishers EastAsiaSoft. The developer describes the game as being very much influenced by console games from the ’90s back when top-down […]

I don’t envy the job Volition have of taking the Saints Row series to new places. Over the course of four games, the crew began in Stillwater and became masters of both time and space. Just how do you follow that? On paper, a reboot seemed like a sensible idea […]

Slipstream is a racing game from Brazilian-based coder Sandro Luis de Paula, otherwise known as Ansdor. Set somewhere in the 1990s, this arcade-style driving game is a love letter to the Out Run games, ’80s neon visuals, ’90s arcades and synth music and it certainly turned heads when it was released on […]

It’s been a while since a proper one of these. Gran Turismo 7 is Polyphony’s Digital’s return to the mainline series and effectively celebrates the 25th anniversary of a very specific product. With that comes a lot of familiarity but a few new tweaks that do add some flavour to […]

Stillalive Studios managed to impress with me Bus Simulator. The relaxed and charming running of a bus company managed to resonate with me as a regular public transport peasant. Despite this, it had some clear issues with meeting mission objectives and technical issues. Now three years have passed and the […]

Crash Drive 3 is a multiplayer party game from M2H, the Dutch developers who usually better known for their sombre WW1 FPS games Verdun and Tannenburg. Well, this is a markedly different kind of game which instead sees players facing off in multiplayer challenges based around driving. The fundamentals of […]

We reviewed Wreckfest back in 2019, giving the game a very respectable 8/10. Well now, the game has been given a bit of an upgrade and shipped out on PS5. It initially came out as one of the PlayStation Plus free games but by the time you’re reading this, it’s now no […]

Can’t Drive This is driving game but with a heavy emphasis on track construction and it comes by way of German coders, Pixel Maniacs. It’s a co-op focused affair and entirely chaotic too. The idea is pretty simple. As one of you drives, the other creates the track. Both parts […]

We took a look at the PS4 version of Monster Truck Championship back in October 2020 and Mike gave the game a solid 7 out of 10, praising its handling and variation while raising questions about how much actual content it delivered. Well, now there’s a PS5 update from Polish coders […]

Life under lockdown’s been weird. I’ve spent a fair amount of time doing some mundane things in video games in lieu of travelling from place to place in reality. Perhaps it’s a good thing then that Bus Simulator‘s map expansion DLC has finally arrived on consoles. Stillalive Studio’s public transport […]

We rather enjoyed Need For Speed Payback, which apparently is a controversial opinion because everyone else didn’t enjoy Ghost Games’ last outing, but hardcore fans of the series can rejoice because Need For Speed Heat is a throwback to the series high points of Underground and Underground 2 which means that the […]
