NASCAR Heat 5
Give this game a chance guys. At a glance it looks like a copy/paste of Heat 4. But try playing this for an hour or two then go back to Heat 4. You will see and feel a significant difference. Several tracks were improved both visually and on how they drive. On top of that, the AI have been improved a bit, providing the most fun single-player racing I’ve seen in a heat game. I honestly barely played single player in Heat 4, but i’m enjoying it a lot more now. Another great thing is the new custom car options. Sure it’s no paint booth but to me it’s satisfactory for the most part and they will be adding more templates via DLC. Custom seasons in championship mode are also awesome, though sadly you can’t put tracks that series doesn’t normally go to such as Cup at Road America, though this might change.

First off let me say, I’ve been sim racing for 3 decades (which yes, makes me old!). I started with Indianapolis 500: The Simulation and have played each and every Papyrus game since. I have also run iRacing and I have been a HUGE fan of each and every one of those games.
This year, during the pandemic, NASCAR Heat 4 was on sale and I thought, what the heck, I have time on my hands, lets give this thing a try. I set out wanting to not like it to be very honest. My expectations were low, quite low in fact. After running my first few races I felt I was liking it just enough to try running a career. A few days in I realized something. I was having fun. More fun than I expected. I kept playing, and my fun level continued to rise. I continued to play NR2003 for my weekly races but kept coming back to NH4. It was a damn fun game. Was it perfect, absolutely not. But, the racing was very good, the setups fun to build and I was moving on up in my career.

Village Bus Driver Simulator
CHALLENGING AND ADDICTING!!! I have to admit that I was not expecting much when I purchased this game. With that being said, I am blown away. There is a lot of bang for the buck here. The graphics are wonderful, the bus upgrades are fun. I hope Village Bus Driver Simulator 2 has a co-op mode.

KartKraft™
It’s been in development hell for the last 11 years but was released as a Steam Early Access title three weeks ago. It currently has one class of kart (but 9 chassis to choose from) and three tracks. There’s a free run mode and a leaderboard mode (you race the ghost of the person ahead of you until you beat them. Then you do it all over again). Leaderboard is addictive. Very, very addictive.
I’m utterly hooked on this at the moment. It’s a little rough here and there - the kerbs are a little unpredictable at best, but it looks stunning and the sound is absolutely spot-on for a little two-stroke (especially when you go under the bridge at PFI). It also handles (mostly) really nicely. A bit understeery, which the devs are working on, and there’s lots of stuff missing like tyre temps, brake temp etc.

First thing i want to say is, What an amazing accomplishment for a small team. I do a lot of karting here in Ireland for fun, and KarkKraft is as close as you can get in a game. I have my own rig including vr and this game brings racing to a new level. The Tracks in early access are great, my personal fav is PFI. Really looking forward to more tracks. The AI are fairly good, can be a small bit unaware of your position on the track at times but all round very good, I think the game needs an aggression and strength control bar for the AI, And there hardest setting at the moment is a bit weak, hopefully in the full game we will have an option to add more than 8 AI karts. The Karts themselves are very good, physics and handling 9/10 only one small prob with them, they flip over a bit to easy at times, specially if u touch a curb, which is not life like. In FFB settings i think you need to add a collision control bar, i have ffb up high for that real feel, but if i have a collision on hit a wall my wheel shakes a bit on the violent side! I hoping track building is included, very important for the modders. and as for track ideas i think Spa should be looked at. I personally never maid a review before for any game, But this is worth every letter, Hope the feedback helps, Thanks again Team.

NASCAR 21: Ignition
HEY HEY WOWOWOW HEYHEYHEYHEY WOW LOOK HERE LOOK LISTEN! HEAR ME OUT, OK?!
pants ok..
(DOWNLOAD JOYTOKEY TO REMAP KEYBOARD KEYS TO YOUR WHEEL. SERIOUSLY)
First and foremost. This game has disappointed not only me but everyone who bought it.
This game is faaaaaar from what I both wanted and expected. But thats my fault for letting my imagination take hold instead of being realistic. Lets look at this package we have here. rFactor 2. What a sim… once you get over that steep learning curve that is the UI. Even with the updated UI s397 put on it, it is still a major pain in the rectum than it has any right to be. But the physics.. the PHYSICS are so good. Coming from Machines amazing NASCAR Mods, this game matches up to what I feel on rF2 with its own feel. The tracks on N21 are easily its best selling point, just feels so right even though there is so much wrong. This game is missing alot of key assets, such as Assignable Buttons for steering wheel, use of H-Pattern Shifters or a Practice only mode. I hate that so much is missing but I can understa.. WAIWAIWAIT HOLD ON HOLD ON PLEASE JUST LISTEN.

FIX THE GAME!! This is a joke!
PRO: Graphics
CONS: Everything else about the game.
To pay $90 for this is absurd. I have played several hours trying to not leave a negative comment, but this is a complete joke.
Don’t put out a game and then try to work out the bugs. That should be done first and foremost.

Gameplay (Short Summary)
Let me start off this review by saying, that the game currently has very little to offer in terms of gameplay if you are not much of a creative person, but if you are, then be prepared to a big grind fest early on in the game until you get the ability to construct auto miners, after that prepare yourself to the next gameplay phase - driving simulator, because resources are scattered across multiple biomes and while driving at max speed from 30-50kmph, it takes a while to get you around the map.

Omega Racers
It’s looks like the Rock N' Roll Racing. That’s so cool.
– Real player with 1.4 hrs in game
This game is so much fun!!! I’m a terrible driver, but I had my fill of fun trying to stop the other cars. It’s my best strategy since I always hit the wall lake a log. The forklift is really funny, but I really need to practice more. If it was a real gig, I would have been fired and probably loose my license!!!
The music is really uplifting. It reminds me of Rock’n roll racing! I would love to be able to shot the other cars!!!
I’ll be playing much more and try to beat all the records!! Looking forward to new levels!!! It would double the fun!!!

Prepare for impact! Well not just yet. As an official Crash Test Engineer you will need to set the stage for your momentous event. Configure the crash floor with a variety of cement barriers, blockades, barrels and a few other wacky items. Maneuver the 750 ton portable barrier into its final resting position. Aim the high speed cameras placed throughout the facility to ensure every angle of impact is captured. There’s even a tunnel that can be moved into one of five possible angles of attack!
Load Em Up!

The Last Taxi
When a fatally wounded member of an anti-technology cult leaves you with what appears to be an undocumented infant, you’re thrust into a dark network of secrets – unravelling a conspiracy that could shake Progress Point to its core.
The Last Taxi is a narrative-driven adventure game set in Progress Point, a politically and economically-divided sprawling metropolis that has fully embraced automation and human modification, creating a satirical and somberly-surreal vision of the future.
As the last human driver, you’ll meet a diverse cast of passengers, each with their own tailored conversations. Be drawn into morally challenging decisions that lead you into the heart of a dying society.
Narrative Gameplay:
As a taxi driver, your job is to keep passengers comfortable, happy and generous.
Or not?
How you interact with passengers is up to you! With varied dialogue choices and multiple endings, you can choose to keep the tips rolling in or spend all your time insulting them.
But keep in mind, gaining their trust and listening to their problems is a lucrative side business. As per Progress Point’s governmental regulations, all taxis are fitted with sleek, handy, and mandatory listening devices – for uhh… quality assurance.
If your passenger expresses something that isn’t quite above board, you can quietly report it to the authorities for some side cash. Choosing to let some shady business go unnoticed does have its perks, though. And with over 80 diverse characters to chat with, you’ll see all kinds traveling the city.
The World:
In the future, you got what you asked for – Flying cars! Unlimited time for hobbies! And the ultimate hybridization of human and machine! Or was it just flying cars you wanted…
Regardless, life in Progress Point is going pretty great. As the only standing city, we survived environmental and economic collapse because no one from the past changed their small, but destructive habits.
Status quo reigned and we’re the societal afterbirth, filled with various factions that believe in one kooky thing or another, like free will.
Oh, but that makes it sound so bleak. Really, there is a bright side.
No one needs to work anymore! The brunt of the workforce has been given to automatons …Well, unless you personally didn’t harbor a vault of cash before the collapse. If you’re one of the unlucky ones, you’ll still need to find some way to make an income, pay the bills, and find your niche in a world run by automation. As a human, you’ll just have to be creative and think outside the processor.
Features:
• Earn tips by navigating through 80 treacherous, quirky, and haunting choice-driven passenger conversations.
• Aid and abet criminal passengers, help them reconsider their actions, or report them to the authorities.
• Upgrade your taxi with new tools allowing for hijacking cargo, hacking toll booths, enhanced customer experience and more!
• Maximize fares by managing malfunctioning equipment, avoiding environmental hazards, and keeping your passengers comfortable.
• Experience a rich and detailed world of technological headquarters, mountaintop temples, sunken metropolises and pirate-infested underworlds.
• 10 hours of gameplay with 20+ unique choice-driven endings.
Pumping Simulator
Where would I start, I am pleasantly surprised, there are not many on steam like this immersive life simulations if you will. Perhaps this could be even called the most immersive of all of them, it is detailed , has a lot of well working features (maybe not some that much detailed as “Live the life” game but its more immersive)
and a few very interesting ideas (positives):,
-
along helping recruited npc employees, taking fuel from supply cars into the petrol pump.
-
unique idea - The goods you buy into your shop can be placed at once from a box just placing a box onto the shelves, they are automatically arranged into any shelf or fridge box, as you pull it over the shelf, once all are placed, the original wooden transparent box is automatically destroyed, and on the other side can be put out and consumed from the shelf one by one.
