Insane 2

Insane 2

I’ve played the original 1nsane. I played the demo I’d gotten on a CD with a magazine, and then I played the full game as soon as I found it. I loved 1nsane. I played the hell out of 1nsane. This, sir, is not 1nsane.

It’s not bad, but Insane 2 isn’t as good as the original. But it is a fun little off-road, open-arena racer. Jamboree, Off-Road Racing and Capture the Flag are still around, and they’re mostly good (though the cars seem to roll over way to easily with the flag than in the original). And there are new gaming modes as well. Yeah… about those…

You know what? This game is kinda sick.

First as a disclosure, I got this in a bundle for $3.50cad that I mainly bought for a steam version of FlatOut 2. If anything, I kinda got this game for free.

It’s a racing game that takes place in multiple open-world locations where you checkpoint race, hold the flag for a bit, claim as many gates as possible, run over the airdrop packages, stay in the helicopter searchlight, as well as problably more gimmicky gametypes (since the further I progress in the singleplayer, the more gametypes they throw at me).

Rise: Race The Future

Rise: Race The Future

HELLO! I have been waiting what feels my entire life to write this review and i cannot wait.

So about a year ago i found this game and i fell in love. It has so many things i like about it. For starters its a racing game that just feels really good. I dont like games that make me feel like im driving in a straight line all the time. This game has excellent level design. And the way the cars feel is unheard of. The steering feels so touchy when u first play it but once u get the hang of it its perfect. I really enjoy all the play i get with my controller while driving. I can get fancy with my stick movement, my gas and brake, and the handbrake is amazing. Some games the handbrake dosent feel right but here it has alot of respect from me.

System and Setup:

Windows 10 64bit

Intel Core i9 10900K

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER

LG 27inch 1440p 144hz monitor 27GN850-B

Oculus Quest 1

The game ran with max settings at 1440p, 144fps on the monitor without any notable issues. No complaints about VR either.

Opinion:

  • The near-future car designs are nice.

  • VR mode works well, even if there’s no proper cockpit view. A hood cam is the best you’ll get.

  • Despite the store page not pointing it out, it does support cloud saves.

  • No Achievements/Trophies

First of all, buy this game for 10Hrs worth of Single Player Content(Tournament) it has Quick Play and some Time Attack challenges but who plays that anyways?

The Multiplayer is dead(Online and Leaderboards are no longer available due to server shutdown)

The game is just OK

just 2 vehicles, 1 Dirt Bike and 1 ATV. Luckily, they can be customized to the point you cant tell the difference between the two

The Tournament is just OK though the last levels have heavy rubber banding and doesnt feel good

What is Nail’d ?

Nail’d is kinda a funny game, it has pretty much nothing going on for it, its mediocre at everything it does but I found myself playing it for quite some time, this is a review just because I had fun with a game doesnt mean I owe it a recommendation many people enjoy stupid movies like sharknado in a “so bad its good” way, either to laugh at it or have some gags with friends, it doesnt mean they would go everywhere recommending people to watch it, Nail’d is pretty much like that It would fall into a guilty pleasure of sorts in a racing game way, but what does that mean ? let me explain below…

DIRT 5

DIRT 5

–——————————————————–

WARNING: do not buy the Amplified Edition but go for the Standard game instead. To this day it’s unclear what the extra benefits of Amplified are gonna be. They already released a car DLC (Porsche Macan) that isn’t even part of the Amplified Edition and in a recent video interview with the dev director on the DIRT YT channel it’s stated that even the Standard game is gonna get extra free content. I still like the game but so far the extra money I paid for the Amplified Edition feels like a waste.

TL;DR

  • Dirt 5 is really good with some caveats. If you’re looking for something in the vein of the previous DiRT games, you’ll likely be disappointed. But if you enjoy arcade offroad racers hearkening back to the PS2/Xbox era, you should definitely check this out at some point, most likely on sale.

Pros, Cons, and Meh(s):

PROS

  • Wide range of car disciplines, from rallycross spec cars to 80s rally to trucks to buggys. All of them feel fast, responsive and just fun to drive.

  • Graphics are really solid, night time lighting is especially nice.

Offroad Racing - Buggy X ATV X Moto

Brief description:

This copy is the exact same as its predecessor (ATV drifts tricks), with additions of playable buggy and motocross

  • forgiving singleplayer season/career AI (plenty room for errors without breaking the harmony)

  • more arsenal to choose from, makes winning strategy on each track more possible

  • arcade-y. sports aspect blends into the game, which become rare by today’s standard

  • Unreal Engine 4 (decent visual quality, great optimizations, despite being exact port from Switch)

Very cool and simple game and finally someone who tackles a “motorstorm” like game.

It would be awesome to see four players split screen and LAN support.

The handling is a bit off, but I don’t know if it’s me or the game.

The art direction is simply awesome, love the design of the drivers and vehicles.

The tracks are easy to memorise, but they need something more to be unique, some more visual clues, especially those desert ones.

The number of tracks and vehicles is good, but it would be awesome to see some more added in the future.

impression

such a great underrated racing game, has pretty much good graphics on today’s standard, although this game was released in 2018 you should compare the graphics with dirt 3 or wrx fia 5 and this game beats em.

(quick tip; u can even tweak the game’s engine .ini file to make it even more beautiful)

the phisics is decent for a game made with unreal engine not necessarily great, a little bit bouncy/jelly like tho u can tune the indifidual car’s settings, the AI is kinda good, rubberbanding as expected, game’s progression is linear based of the season and levels that we gain as we progress the race and do certain things (e.g drifting)

Quicknote from me:

Please do spend more time on this game since my review may be biased as I haven’t put more time on this.

Brief introduction:

You’re playing as a talented racer (the game treated you that way on purpose) and you’re dare enough to challenge the locals through their invitational events, slowly reaching a way up to the top

Pro(s):

  • Free-will decision system of going arcade-y or properly simulated (they provide you both choices seamlessly)

  • Forgiving and adjustable mechanics (including predictable AI patterns) making this game less dreary and always open for improvements

Car Drive

Car Drive

Ever since the age of 13, I have had a passion for cars that nothing could keep me from. I would watch my dad work on his old ‘61 corvette in the garage, sitting next to him, silently, shining the flashlight where he wanted it, handing him socket wrenches & screwdrivers until whatever problem the car had was fixed. I loved doing this, & my dad was probably the biggest part in my developing passion for cars.

At the age of 16, when I got my drivers license, me & my dad spent hours looking for the perfect project car for us, that I could drive to school & work on in my spare time. After months of looking, we found the perfect car for me: An ‘83 fox body Mustang GT 5.0. It had been wrecked, we got it from a private seller & I spent all of the money I had been saving for years on it. Me & my dad had it towed home, & got it running later that afternoon without much trouble.

So you’ve read the description and now you’re down here in the comments trying to figure out what’s it all about. Click the video above to see some of the gameplay, mechanic and hear my thoughts on the game.

Car Drive is a simplistic game. There’s no abundance of mechanics, gimmicks or systems that you need to master to be good at the game. You simple drive and adjust your pitch when needed to avoid flopping over like a turtle on their back. The graphics are minimalist, the music is banging and controls are spot on. I highly recommend Car Drive based on the price and the amount enjoyment I got out of it. Try it for yourself, see how far the drive can take you.

Cross And Crush

Updated 26/1/21

Since I last reviewed, game has been fixed, with that aside, the game still becomes a grind to play within minutes. To unlock all the characters is a sheer headache as the game does not reward you very well with coins, and the achievements of needing to get one thousand, five thousand and 10 thousand coins is just tedious. Achievements like this, NEVER enrich your experience with a game. They just make you despise it and get angry (cross) and will make you want to smack the developers head in (crush).

In this game you use A and D to tell your animal which way to go as the vehicle it is pulling destroys stuff in a lame way and you’re being chased by cops. Somehow Tap By Tap managed to make destroying a city and killing cops boring. I wouldn’t even recommend this if they paid you €2.
