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 […]

Timing is everything with sports titles and TT Isle of Man : Ride on the Edge 3 has managed to land right in the middle of the road racing season. With the marquee event mere weeks away, Raceward Studios has produced a challenging and rewarding racer that makes the Isle […]

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, […]

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. […]

All good things have to end and Kylotonn’s stint with the World Rally Championship license is coming to a conclusion. As a swansong, WRC Generations consolidates all the previous content under one tidy package. Whilst they’re not pushing the boat out, there is plenty here to admire and, with the […]

Tanuki Sunset is a skateboarding game from Canadian coders Rewind Games. However, that description doesn’t really do this game justice at all. The game combines downhill skateboarding with a glorious ’80s aesthetic and it does it all to great effect. You play as the titular Tanuki, who is a rather radical […]

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 […]

Redout 2 is the sequel to 2017’s original and is, as expected, another futuristic anti-grav racer in the style of Wipeout. The original was well-received and the game’s Italian devs are claiming that this sequel is bigger, better and is the fastest racing game out there. So how does it stack up in […]

Destroy All Humans! is a series I’ve never delved into but their homage to the 50’s B-movie aesthetic did seem charming. Since their heyday on the Playstation 2, THQ Nordic has acquired the rights in an effort to bring some attention back to the murderous grey invaders. Before the repackage […]

I don’t think I’ve seen a motorsport as unpredictable as MotoGP in the last couple of years. Even without the pandemic, Marc Márquez’s self-inflicted arm injury has led to a genuine power vacuum at the top of motorcycle racing. Combine this with Valentino Rossi’s retirement and you have a grid […]

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 […]

Monster Energy Supercross: The Official Videogame 5 is the latest installment of Italian motorsports sim specialists, Milestone srl’s surprisingly new motorbiking series. We say surprisingly because despite their being five of these now, this series only started in 2018 and has had a new installment each year. It seems somewhat […]
