Bus-Simulator 2012
I really hate seeing all the negative press about this game on here and seriously if I didn’t know better I wouldn’t buy this game based on the reviews… thought I would address that!
With a mixture of common sense and user manual articulation this is a very playable game; in fact the BEST of the whole Bus Sim world out there…
A lot of people have problems with performance and bugs BUT with a bit of trial and error and settings adjustments etc.. you can make the game semi stable on your machine even with low to average hardware. Anyone who hasn’t spent hours over their lifetime making very tidious and endless adjustments to a game’s setup just to get a minimal amount of great gameplay hasn’t lived and should buy an xbox…

Imagine shooting up heroin whilst riding a roller-coaster made of crystalline excitement which is going through gargantuan hoops of fire over a swamp infested with three-headed sharks which have lasers for eyes and chainsaws for fins. That is exactly what Bus Simulator 2012 is not like.
You are initially offered a choice between two settings, “Beginner” or “Expert”. Beginner mode is essentially expert mode with more prompts and sunny weather. Even on the beginner setting there is a steep learning curve, I ended up watching tutorials online and consulting the manual due to the inadequacy of the limited in-game prompts and lack of help features.

Redout: Enhanced Edition
Game is good, and hard. Visuals are great and music is quite good too (and fitting). If you have questions/concerns, go to the official discord (search for redout). I can go more into that later. But, I would like to address certain inane negative reviews that are popping up. By not allowing comments, others can’t explain the issues that they bring up, which is pretty unfair for the game. Hopefully this will clarify some things.
How it Runs; Crashes:
My low end 2012 computer with onboard graphics runs the game decently with the lowest settings, but the problems are mainly from when there are a lot of AI racers with you, especially on parts of certain maps. I seem to get from 28-48fps if no weapons are used, AI probably taking a few frames off. Played off and on since late 2018, a lot recently. I tend to crash when I use Repair Drone (great for new people but shouldn’t rely on it) on certain tracks, and sometimes I crash during vs AI races, presumably because of them using said powerup, but this is usually rare (helps to get out in front of the pack I think). But my computer/gfx are bad, so. Download the demo. It is an old version and I think it ran slightly worse, and the physics are a bit different, but you can get an idea of how it plays, and if it will likely run well. If you’re worried about crashes/bugs, ask the Discord for more details on what can happen and how to avoid issues. I am not bothered that much by most of it, and I think I can avoid most all of it (other than Repair Drone crash on some tracks).

6/1/18: Although everything I wrote in this review is true, I NO LONGER SUPPORT REDOUT.
Thank you.
“REDOUT: Enhanced Edition” is (oddly enough) advertised as a futuristic AG (anti gravity) racer that’s a throwback to the “past” of computer games, perhaps because today’s DEVs feel players don’t want something new in their futuristic racing games. Fortunately, this reviewer/player is neither hampered nor guided by those comparrisons, and so this review (and reviewer) will ignore them generally, presuming experienced players are far more knowledgeable. However, since potential REDOUT consumers are clearly expected to know earlier racers well enough to base this purchase specifically on that knowledge, I will touch on gameplay only superficially, and place focus on where this game is less than perfect and may dissapoint players. (In many ways, REDOUT feels like a game BEGGING to be completed contextually.)

Criminal Pursuit Force
I originally went into this game thinking “Oh, it’s just a bit of fun. Nothing too serious, I’ll review it as such.”
However, I reported the games main flaw being that criminals always end up getting stuck in the same place under the bridge. I did this so the developer had time to fix the bug before I reviewed it. I’ve since went back and played only to find the bug still hasn’t been fixed after he assured me it had been.
This game doesn’t have a lot going for it, it’s a basic loop of crashing your car into a criminals car in order to apprehend them. Then the level restarts and you do it over and over again. Don’t worry though, they’ll always be under the bridge at the local criminal stop point. There’s nothing else to it, that’s it.

I like trash games very much and i had a blast with this game. So, i recommend this game to all trash fans. But for the others, i say just no, this is a really bad game. In Criminal Pursuit Force you are a female cop (only visible in the missions screens as a picture) hunting bad guys. The goal of every level is to catch an enemy car with your police vehicle. I like that kind of game and that is why i bought it. But there are so many things that are just awful. The graphics are outdated and there is just one small map (for all missions). There are not many sound effects in the game, just a police-radio, which tells you the same thing over and over, and a police siren. No engine sounds or other effects (maybe that is just a bug). The music is ok, but there are not many tracks. The worst part of the game are the ai-drivers, the normal ones and the enemy. I never saw such stupid drivers in a game, they even can not stay on the road. You have to see that for yourself to believe it (watch may video under the text). And on top of that all, the game is not finishable because in one mission, the enemy car is not findable. So my final verdict for the game, buy it if you want to laugh about the most stupid drivers in gaming history, otherwise avoid it.

Derby: Extreme Racing
I didn’t expect this to be good. It is not. A student university project. It probably got an A, but you wouldn’t even play it for free.

Pacer
An Extremely Solid AG Racer
Very worth the wait
Summary:
While the title leaves me scratching my head, nearly everything else about Formula Fusion’s re-incarnation as Pacer has left me very impressed. With an aesthetic somewhere between the PS1 and PS3 era Wipeout games and dripping with detail, the environments here are a sight to behold. The physics model is more traditional to the genre than, say, Redout - leaning more towards the later Wipout games with just a touch of later F-Zero as well. Put another way, the racing model is approachable, intuitive, and smooth - a far cry from the formerly awkward, stilted iterations past. The craft are fun to pilot and have lots of room for customizing to suit your personal style.

tl;dr:
-
Fantastic visuals
-
Physics which scratch that Wipeout itch
-
Good performance; great performance after the first patch
-
Good multiplayer when you can find it
-
Confusing UI
-
OK music
-
If you can’t progress in the campaign, use the garage!
-
There are multiple weapons & items. Again, use the garage.
-
If you suddenly notice your shield/health steadily dropping for “no reason”, it’s probably not a bug; you’re probably in an endurance event
-
If your position jumps suddenly at the end of a lap, having been static the whole way round, that is probably also not a bug; you’re in a “speed lap” event

GRIP: Combat Racing
Let’s get one thing out of the way first: Are you a Rollcage fan? Are you a fan of any kind of futuristic racer, or even just the idea of super fast wheeled tanks flinging explosives at each other? I am. After dumping some 25 hours into playing this over some months, I feel qualified to tell you if this game’s worth your time, and what other reviewers are saying. Let’s break it down, with how well this handles each aspect of what makes a classic in the genre.
1. CONTROLS.
Earlier reviews can be disregarded as the physics have been revamped and improved tremendously. So have the tracks. Your vehicle is responsive to your input, whether keyboard of gamepad. However, it is not a clone of Rollcage, it’s its own thing; these very much handle like heavyweights. Cars naturally curve into a subtle powerslide over time: the trick is to tap, not hold, your handbrake button to help tighten your arc around a given corner smoothly. There is a lot to learn here regarding terrain and track routes.

Grip is a spiritual successor to Rollcage, a combat racer featuring horizontally symmetrical cars that can keep going even after being flipped over. Despite being a fan of Extreme-G and not hearing about Rollcage until I discovered Grip, this game seemed like the current-gen fix of futuristic high-speed combat racing action I was craving. My initial impressions were mixed, but I developed a feel for the game after some practice. I followed the game’s development since its release on Steam, and I clocked in 200+ hours of play time. I finally think I’m ready to give people my take on the game.

Exo Racing
❄️FEATURES🔥
-
Racing with Storyline!
-
Dozens of cars
-
Plenty of tracks
-
True underground racing
-
Cars have upgradable parts.
❄️SUMMARY🔥
In Sugarlake City exists unique sort of racing called ‘Exo Racing’. ‘Exo Racing’ was initially illegal sport of racing around and inside of the city. Legalized by authorities but still very dangerous. At least - that’s what you see on the outside. But the truth is - the whole city is a nest of criminal organizations that pretty much controls the entirely place, from police to judges. The player takes a role of one of previous Exo-Racers who had quit the field and now, a very dramatic situation forced him to return to Exo Racing.
Russian Roads
TL:DR: Terrible but hilarious and kind of fun to play.
Cons:
Absurd physics
Mediocre sound
Terrible checkpoints around the corner so you don’t know which way you’re going,
The other npc vehicles are faster even after you’ve applied the 3 torque upgrades
Pros
Funny AF
Achievements
Trading cards
Computer AI so dumb it’s hilarious
Hasn’t crashed or bugged out
Worth the sale price because I’m enjoying it and want to complete it.

Russian Roads is a 3D third person road racing game made out of a series of Unity Asset flips. It’s designed as a mostly joke game to lambast the state of roads in Russia, as the tracks have a series of potholes and other aspects of disrepair that act as obstacles to the driver.
Despite some effort around assembling a game from a racing template and some low quality/asset flipped vehicles and environments, the end product is still obviously asset flip tier and of such poor quality that I can’t recommend it. The joke premise is mildly amusing for around 2 minutes. Laush Studio has a long history of these kinds of frankenstein asset flips, and this is no exception to their record of poor quality bundle fillers.
