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.

SnowRunner

SnowRunner

The SpinTires/MudRunner series has finally become a full fledged game. SnowRunner brings map exploration and change to a new level with the ability to improve and repair disaster struck areas. The trucks have a high level of customization and unlocks to make them increasingly capable as you delve into stickier situations. Finally, the map sizes and routes require planning in the late game to ensure you bring the right tools for the job; don’t prematurely lose your load; and make it to the finish line with more than fumes in your tank.

Snow runner is the much anticipated sequel to Mud runner, the third game in the spintires off road simulation series, and this new installment takes the spintires concept from being a curious toy to a full fledged game. Quite a monumental leap to say the least. I won’t be covering many of the things that stayed the same from mud runner, as I already made a review of it.

It does this mainly by adding a new progression system. Trucks and upgrades are now earned through money, an XP level system, and scavenged from the maps as you play. In some ways, this makes the game into a bit of a metroidvania type of ordeal. There are many areas starting out that you simply cannot reach with your current equipment. And that can be rather frustrating to someone unfamiliar with spintires. Your biggest enemy is yourself if you don’t know what your trucks can and cannot do. Many judgement calls will have to be made. Especially when doing a super heavy haul contract with early game equipment.

Bus World

Bus World

Bus World is a game about passenger transportations in various conditions, starting from standard days of a bus driver and ending with rescuing people who suffered from disasters.

Time and place of action are very diverse!

Each map has its own atmosphere and scenarios.

Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, Ukrainian SSR, 1986

The game features a unique possibility to take a look at Pripyat, Chernobyl and surroundings of the infamous Nuclear Power Plant slightly before the disaster and to dive into the atmosphere of Soviet communism. We tried to make Chernobyl Zone look as realistic as possible by using maps, photos and videos, so that houses, key locations and roads are in the same place as in reality.

You are going to work as a standard bus driver before the explosion. Your goal is to deliver staff to the Power Plant, lift tourists to their destination points, and so on. Also, you’ll have to deal with difficulties such as breakdowns.

Everything changes when disaster strikes. You’ll see the destroyed 4th power unit, Red Forest and other famous places of Exclusion Zone. Help liquidators to address the impact of the catastrophe, take part in evacuation and do your best not to get large dose of radiation.

Southern China, our days

Welcome to sunny jungles and narrow roads on serpentines! But don’t lose your attention because weather might be cruel here. You are going to experience tsunami and floods, earthquake with rockfall, and even a deadly tornado! It’s really hard to drive as there are lots of sharp corners, cliffs and impassable roads.

Maximal Scenarios variety

There are three types of scenarios:

1. Standard scenarios about driving people to their destination.

2. Scenarios with breakdowns. You’ll have to deal with different problems such as faulty steering, and this is while trying to take sharp turns. But sometimes terrain can even help you, for example when you have to turn off the engine while driving off cliffs to save some fuel.

3. Disasters, from explosion on Chernobyl Power Plant to wildfires, earthquakes and tornadoes. You’ll always have to keep an eye on tornado in order not to end up going straight into it. It’s even more difficult when you’re driving on extremely bad road where you can easily puncture a tire by driving over bump at high speed. After the Chernobyl Power Plant disaster, help liquidators to find the most radiation poisoned spots in Red Forest. But never forget that large radiation dose can be deadly for you.

These and many other interesting situations will be available to be played!

Earn experience, unlock new scenarios, buses and upgrades

You will get experience, which levels you up, for completing each scenario. Each new level will unlock more scenarios and ability to play them with any bus and upgrades of your choice.

Motoride Rollercoaster VR

Motoride Rollercoaster VR

the perfect combination of immersion in the gameplay and the adrenaline that every episode in this game provides. it gives true pleasure.

I’m not, why there is still no multiplayer here, in which we could compete who will be the first to reach the finish line, or at least the honor roll.

in any case, I also really liked the single player game. I will wait for new additions to the game (for example, new locations or a choice of a motorcycle).

it seems that with such a game I understand that it was not in vain that I bought a vr helmet :)

Real player with 145.7 hrs in game

beautiful and detailed levels, good and dynamic music in this game makes your adventure on the rollercoaster more interesting and breathtaking!

the actions take place dynamically, “slow motion” turns on at dangerous moments and it immerses you incredibly deeply into the game and makes the gameplay very exciting!

I absolutely in love with this game!

StuntMANIA Reloaded

StuntMANIA Reloaded

this game is quite fun for all ages it’s not hard to unlock everything in the game in 2 or 3 hours I can see myself playing this game for over 200 hours. the things i really like are the fact you can control the car in the air and land anywhere you want by simply using nitro or steering it you can even climb up walls to get to where your going. landing every possible trick is done by learning how to control it in the air and i have almost mastered flight controls. this is one of those sleeper games where nobody pays attention to it but it’s going to get super popular in time when friends see friends playing it for 200 hours or more like my friends will see. I recommend this game for everyone because in time i know the few minor bugs will be fixed and it will still be the perfect little game for everyone. Also it’s that perfect little game to get all achievements in less than 15 hours. the hardest ones are the 25, 50 & 100x 1440 degree flatspins but they are easy to get with a little grinding. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cwY63uvTSE

StuntMANIA Reloaded was a game which I had conflicting thoughts on. It’s fun and not serious or a pretentious game, and it feels like it was developed with attention and good intentions, however it has a few drawbacks which stopped it being as good as it could have been.

  • The design is mostly consistent throughout, nothing feels out of place

  • Controls mostly work well

  • A throwback to games such as Re-volt, and more of a unique game today

  • The aesthetics, environment design and the car models are well designed and make the game quite visually appealing and colourful

UNDER the SAND - a road trip game

UNDER the SAND - a road trip game

Note: this review is written for FullRebuilt#7

There are few games out there quite like Under the Sand for me, save for maybe Glitchhiker, though that game focuses more on a spiritual experience. Under the Sand, on the other hand, as it stands with the lastest full rebuilt version at the time of writing, offers a story-lite experience that encourages the players to weave their own experiences on a lonesome desert road. This is also what separates the experience from games like American Truck Simulator, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but also found wanting for a sense of wanderlust.

DISCLAIMER: I am trying my best not to put too much bias into this review, and just give you the features and state of this game.

It’s a game with potential. the creator has seemed to have abandoned the project though. I have had a lot of fun with it anyways. I can’t really compare it to jalopy or the long drive, because I haven’t played either of them. I do think that if there is a large sale on this game, you should get it. otherwise, don’t. I find this to be an easy game, after 2 or 3 in-game “days” or drives between motels I had enough to buy the topper, and then it’s smooth sailing from there. if you want more difficulty, go for a different road trip game like the long drive. if you just want a slightly challenging, but peaceful way to pass the time during the quarantine, go ahead and buy it. some people say that it’s a scam, and I don’t think that they are wrong, it’s a half-finished shell of a game. But I don’t think it’s a complete waste of money. you get the game, and it works. The thing that makes people think it’s a scam is the fact that the developer has abandoned the project, but still has sales on it. I got this game 50% off for $2.50. and I think that that is the price it should be sold for normally. It’s not worth 5 dollars by any means. I hope the guy behind this game picks it back up, but I’m doubtful. I don’t think it has controller support, at least I couldn’t hook up my wheel. One final note, because this game has so little in terms of content, it runs quite well on low-end computers. I play this on a PC that crashes if I open CS:GO and uses onboard graphics. I hope you all stay safe and healthy through this difficult time and have a great day.

Hard Truck Apocalypse: Arcade / Ex Machina: Arcade

Hard Truck Apocalypse: Arcade / Ex Machina: Arcade

HTA Arcade is an attempt to dumb down the original Hard Truck Apocalypse (aka Ex Machina) into an arcade shoot-em-up. However, it does not support controller, and the keyboard/ mouse controls are horrible. The game is also extremely unbalanced, and there’s NEVER enough heal. The in-game purchases to improve your trucks are EXTREMELY expensive, and lack of savepoints or checkpoints make the entire game extremely frustrating. You’re much better off playing the actual HTA, not the arcade game.

Sure the game might crash if you try to change the resolution. Sure the game might crash if you try to alt tab it. Sure the game might crash if you change any of the graphical settings. Sure there might be invisible mines that lead to an instantenous and unavoidable death in level 6. Still I found this game to be quite fun and enjoyable. It has some flaws for sure, but nothing that can’t be overlooked and it is cheap as dirt most of the time.

On Scene - The Horror Stories of Fred & Karen

On Scene - The Horror Stories of Fred & Karen

A little more effort put into this, and I can actually see it becoming a pretty fun ‘stupid funny’ game. Seriously.

As it sits, it’s good for a dumb laugh, but there’s like 4 minutes of content (my playtime is simply that long because I tried to find SOMETHING to do, and took a 15 minute phone call WHILE PLAYING IT).

Honestly? Even at a buck it’s not worth it, but I’ll hold onto it in the hopes the dev adds more eventually.

Worth checking out.

Cool little game, fun to play around in. Bought it for my friend too, (on sale for .45) and he also had alot of fun.

Can be confusing, but most of the time its basic, although it does have alot of glitches.

Also fun to try and speedrun, even though that its pointless. Infinite amount of glitches, teleporting, launching, phasing, etc. Even managed to get on top of a few buildings on the city level.

First off this game is amazing, it has great graphics, amazing controls, and really fun to play as a sandbox and not using the story, but there are a few things that I dislike, the first thing is that when running around shooting people and driving, it always seems to become 15 police officers chasing you around just trying to kill you, the last thing is that NPCs are really hostile and will try to kill you even from you spitting on them. Apart from that I would highly recommend this game.
