Arcade rallying seems to be making a comeback. Whilst titles like Old School Rally specifically aim for that 90’s vibe, Rally Arcade Classics aims for something slightly more modern. Netk2 Games are at the helm and what they’ve delivered is an addictive, compelling racer. It does initially seem light on […]

Arcade racers feel like an endangered species at times. Any that do release seem to come from indie developers. Cyber Clutch: Hot Import Nights is one such game. Coming from Gunpowder games, the neon-soaked, custom car racer tries to look the part but it lacks on-track excitement and variety. The […]

Super Engine GT Turbo SPEC is a racing game by solo developer Josep Monzonis Hernandez and it’s been published by eastasiasoft and it offers up some straightforward motorsports action on a budget. Our initial impressions of the game were a little bit weird. There are very little options there on […]

For over a decade, the Test Drive series had laid dormant. Now in the corporate hands of Nacon, the open-world car lifestyle simulator has returned. KT Racing have shown an aptitude for solid handling and replicating large environments, but Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, lacks the soul of the originals. […]

I do enjoy racing games that focus heavily on self improvement. Give me a marker to beat and I’ll happily bang my head against it for enough time to be annoyed. Coming from Ghosts, Phantom Spark looks to tap into this compulsion and, whilst it really nails the controls and […]

NeoSprint is a top-down/isometric racing game from Costa Rican coders Headless Chicken Games and is one that can trace its lineage back to 1976 with Atari’s grandaddy of the racing genre, Sprint 2 (the confusingly-named prequel to Sprint 1, 4 and 8 – each of which indicates the number of players supported rather than their […]

Horizon Chase 2, developed by the Brazilian-based Aquiris Game Studio, is a follow-up to 2018’s Horizon Chase Turbo. This arcade-style racing game celebrates the exuberant spirit of ’80s and ’90s “blue sky” racers, taking players on a globe-trotting adventure where the tarmac is your playground and the cops are mercifully […]

It’s been really nice seeing the explosion of retro re-releases hitting the market. I spent a lot of time as a kid playing older games and, now with the benefit of hindsight, it’s been interesting to revisit them. I’m not convinced many of the CPC games I used to play […]

There was something about Overpass I just didn’t get on with. I love the idea of a more serious, obstacle-based racer but the feel of the game just felt off and I couldn’t get to grips with it. Well, Neopica’s taking another crack at the series and Overpass 2 does […]

The sheer scale of space is absurd. Plenty of games have aimed to capture a fraction of it but I’ve tended to give them a miss. Maybe they’re too big for comfort but I’m now in a position to have them thrust upon me. Everspace 2 is the new effort […]

Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame 6 is a mouthful. The long-running Supercross franchise certainly feels like it’s in the land of diminishing returns. The second iteration on current consoles, the features on show give me a great sense of deja vu and, whilst the racing remains tight and competitive, […]
