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, […]

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 […]
