Horror Drift (ホラードリフト)

Horror Drift (ホラードリフト)

Ever wanted to deliver tofu while drifting on japanese touge runs? Great, because this is your chance, only problem is that the tracks you were assigned to are a little…haunted. Try not to get discouaged by the sinister presences and complete your run to earn your fame into this haunted drift world!

An arcade racing game with a horror heart: drive through the best japanese scenery and touge tracks and show what you are capable of, but be aware of the dangers that lure in the dark. You can go for the points by drifting your tires out, or go for speed and best time, driving as fast as you can. Be careful though: on the tracks, numerous evil entities are trying to slow you down and make you crash. Will you be able to avoid them all and cross the finish line? Every drift you make, every corner you cross, will make you closer to unlocking new tracks and new cars, with an ever growing chioce that will be kept updated and renewed even after launch. But behind every corner lies a possible danger that may completely wipe all your progress, randomly generated for your (un)pleasure. Be fast, be smart, don’t get scared.

Flatout 3: Chaos & Destruction

Flatout 3: Chaos & Destruction

DON’T BUY if you expect Flatout!

I played Flatout: Ultimate Carnage and Flatout 2 a lot and some day I saw Flatout 3 on sale for around 5 $. Totally blinded by the awesomeness of the previous Flatout games by Bugbear I ran into this trap without checking what I was actually buying…

After playing maybe like 30 minutes I was really disappointed since I expected something like a worthy successor for Ultimate Carnage which Flatout 3 clearly is NOT. I uninstalled the game and considered this my worst game investment ever.

(Game was gifted to me by a friend, hence why I’m tagging it as having received the game for free.)

Having the (dis)honour of being one of few items on the Steam storefront to hold an “Overwhelmingly Negative” review score among Steam users, FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction is an absolute travesty of a FlatOut game, if not of a video game in general. One does not even need previous experience with the preceding titles in the series; even outside of comparisons to its vastly superior predecessors, FlatOut 3 falls flatout on its face.

Desert Bus VR

Desert Bus VR

If you are lucky, this might be the worst game you will ever play.

–-

What does that even mean? Let me explain:

There’s good games. There’s bad games. There’s interactive art pieces that use game mechanics. There’s barely interactive media that present themselves as games. There’s training simulators that are set up like games but aren’t intended to be games. There’s… how many of these would you like me to list? Want to talk about interactive movies? What about visual novels? What about… oh, was I wasting your time? Did you want me to make a point about Desert Bus? Hang on, I wasn’t done rambling…

That’s a great game.

In fact, I realized that it can substitute my sleep time.

For the last month, more or less, I spend my former sleep hours driving this bus and I felt very well the next day.

The only side effect is that sometimes when I’m walking distractedly I tend to slowly drift leftways. No big deal.

UPDATE:

So… Strange things started to happen as I slowly began to expand my daily driving time.

Now I’m nearly driving 16 hours a day and sometimes I have some really weird and vivid dreams.

The Long Drive

The Long Drive

Relaxing. Fun and satisfying physics. Satisfying car handling. Freedom of exploration, and medium freedom in car setups and mixing of components. Someone said is more like a tech demo at this point. While it can definitely be defined that way specially due to the very sandboxy setting, it can be way more than that, depending on your approach to the game.

While definitely not for everyone, its the perfect game for goofing around, RolePlaying, or just relaxing with the driving sim mechanics after a long work day.

Real player with 381.5 hrs in game

Overall, great driving game.

Discover vehicles, install and combine parts.

Updates are occasional but devs surely keep working on the game.

If you’re tired from action and want some chill drive, with some podcasts or audiobooks on the background, this game is for you.

I love this stuff. This is a strange cosmic trippy VR experience that makes you feel weird and I like it. A masterpiece of the art form. Thanks for the free experience.

Welcome to PINEHILLS

Welcome to PINEHILLS

While the store page states it was released in August 28, 2021, it is not a full release. The files even state on the startup screen they are using the July Early Release. Therefore, this game is still “Early Release”. I spent 2 hours going into every empty building, going along every road, covered the lighthouse and even went as far into the ocean until you fall off the map. The game only has 3 “otherworldly” flashbacks. The total number of angels you can find are 4 of 12. The game is impossible to complete because there are no more angels to find on the map. Once you find all 12 angles I’m guessing the trapdoor inside the church will open and you can complete the game? If you want a “complete game” with a similar map check out Titan Chaser. Your money will be better spent there unless the dev releases the complete game of Welcome to PINEHILLS cause right now this is not it folks!

Real player with 3.8 hrs in game

The game is akin to one puzzle like you would find in Res Evil 4 and the whole game has been centered around it.

Find x number of angel statues around the game world and replace them in PineHIlls' church.

Problem is after that hiding three or four statues and placing some very empty stock asset structures in about about six different spots the devs never came back to scatter the remaining angels.

This should be Early Access but the empty discussion board suggests abandoned.

Zombie Killer Drift - Racing Survival

Zombie Killer Drift - Racing Survival

Remember “Carmageddon”, the racing game where you could also score points by running over every pedestrian that dared to cross your paths? That was fun, right?

Unfortunately, while “Zombie Killer Drift” does scratch the itch of just letting go and mangling zombies with your car, that’s about all it does, and it doesn’t do it well enough to be interesting for long.

It all starts rather innocently. There’s no plot here, and why would there if you can run over zombies with your car? There are 16 levels which more or less all look the same. Some are set at night, others during daytime, but it’s all rather bland. Your car of choice spawns and zombies come running from everywhere. There’s no indicator how many you killed or how many you need to kill - instead, there’s a huge FPS counter on the screen. Why? No idea. Some zombies are tougher than others and have a health bar so you need to hit them several times. Their AI is rather daft so if you knock them far away by hitting them at full speed they often have trouble to find their way back to you and you can start searching for them. Not cool.

This game has a very interesting drift physics with simple and convenient controls.

I was pleased with a large selection of cool and legendary cars.[/h]

Extreme School Driving Simulator

The game can get addicting but also frustrating. There are levels that are really easy and then others that can take a decent while to get around. However I do feel like there should be more levels because you can complete some 1 to 5 mins and then hard levels 25mins max.

My Friend bought me this game for my b-day and i thought to myself sure i’ll play for a bit than I couldn’t stop. I hit level 13 and I meet my maker I tried everything I possibly could. The seasons changed form winter to summer and back. Finally I killed god and the devil and consumed there soul’s for power. Than only than I beat it. I thought the nightmare was over for level 14 was easy as pie BUT LEVEL 15 SAID BONJOUR BITCH. Anyway I beat level 15 and the universe could not handle my power. Now I float through out the void wondering Why? Why does my friend Hate me?

Russian Roads

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.

High Octane Drift

High Octane Drift

High Octane Drift

To begin my review, I would like to give you some statistics.

It’s one of the few free games on the Steam Playground and thing is, as it should be, the basis of the game is multiplayer, and as is customary in almost all free games - the presence of donation. Because of this, many players immediately quit the game, seeing that many things are available only for ‘real’ currency, even without having experienced the game, as can be seen from the statistics on Steam achievements.

Real player with 952.1 hrs in game

As with all games, this has some major pros and cons, and I will list them as such and then do a small review,

PROS:

(1) Free to play, and I have seen no reason to spend money (so far) except to get stuff faster.

(2) Partial contorller support. Controllers only work in-game, not the menus, and you get to bind it how you see fit.

(3) Decent graphics. Some glitchy parts, but overall pretty nice.

(4) Voice chat. Though I haven’t found anyone that actually uses it, it’s nice to have built in.

CONS:
