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.

GENSOU Skydrift
Fans of Touhou, Sonic Riders and/or Mario Kart Double Dash (or 8 if you think about it another way) rejoice: you have a game that, while small and a tad light on content, tries to accommodate these diverse qualities into one package. You have your Touhous. You have your anti-gravity track-design. And you have a tag-team mechanic - albeit one that doesn’t seem quite intuitive and might’ve done better with more explanations about some of the finer mechanics that underpin it. The way items are attained and gotten also is a little unorthodox and takes getting used to if you are used to fixed item box placement on tracks like I was.

Before I knew it, I racked up over 400 hours in this game. If that’s not the sign of a good game, I don’t know what is, so I figure it’s high time I give it thumbs up.
Starting off, it’s a simple but solid fun racer, 2 story mode campaigns to play through with a 3rd currently in development. If you want to go deeper, though, the online races and time attack modes coupled with this game’s surprising level of technical depth are what have really kept me with it for hundreds of hours.
The basics are you put two 2hus together (or the same one twice) and one surfs through the tracks on the other with the option to spend a small amount of spell meter to switch to the other at any time for a boost of speed and a change in stats. Spell meter can also be spent to roll for an item. The items you get are usually typical kart racer type things, but with full meter and enough time passed, you can pull a character specific Last Word spell with powerful race changing effects. Strategizing on how to use meter and when to go for and use a LW adds a nice level of depth to races and keeps things feeling fresh as you try and race against different characters.

FAST & FURIOUS CROSSROADS
I didnt expect a game this new could be so horrible.
Yes i did read the reviews but still didnt think it could be so bad.
Game has 2 hours worth of content which 50% of it is unskippable cutscenes.
I was exited to try the multiplayer since all the dlc is just for multiplayer but after 10min in que there was still 1/9 players in the lobby so dlc is all useless.
I guess the whole budjet of the game went to the actors vin diesel etc to say few lines in the game and appear in cutscenes.
The graphics are pretty much same as need for speeds from 2005 and the handling oh boy there is no speedometer the cars just slide on the roads and nitros just blur the whole world and launch your car.

I still cannot believe anyone in their right mind let this game release to public.
I paid a full $60 for this game and DID NOT receive a free copy. At time of review I’m currently sitting at 19.1 hours played. Easily, the most hours played of this game on Steam. By literally anyone. Even the devs.
Let’s start with the solo campaign. THREE straight hours of explosions, fast cars, arm crossing, and FAMILY. How could I forget the family. One of the best, if not the literal best, story-lines I’ve experienced in a game this year.

Need for Speed™ Rivals
after playing this game for a long while and completing both campaigns, I’ll say that this NFS game has become one of my newest favorites and now rivals Hot Pursuit 2010/Remastered for my favorite NFS game of all time.
However, for the first time in an NFS game, i actually enjoy the Cop side more than the Racer side in this game.
Usually, when it comes to an NFS game with both a Racer & Cop side, i usually tend to enjoy the Racer side more. Racers always felt more intensifying due to the fact you were basically running for your life. But most cop AIs were easy to overcome once you learned their patterns.

gameplay wise this game has a really great concept + its quite enjoyable
there are somethings that are really improper tho,
like theres no offline mode & 30fps cap
there are many bugs too but they can be removed mostly by simply moving the game to a ssd rather than a hdd.

Road Rage
I don’t honestly believe this game should get all of the hate that it does. Certainly not a perfect game, it still has its silly fun. The story is a bit out there at times, the voice acting ranges from decent to truly suspect and the odd glitches can be hilarious (hitting a pedestrian can sometimes send you into into the 1200+mph range). That said, I tend to rate games on whether I am having fun or not and this game really didn’t fail to be entertaining at some level. The soundtrack is fun and the game won’t take long to 100% if that is your thing (though the last 2 achievements of hitting a certain number of pedestrians feels like it takes forever since there is no way for you to track it).

This is one of the biggest pieces of trash I’ve ever played. It’s absolutely hilarious. I have now played this game several times over.
The “story” is awful; in the beginning of the game they tried, but later on they got so lazy that it is almost nonexistent. The voice acting is laughably bad. The game looks terrible, and the insane pop-in when you first start the game sets the tone for the rest of the game. The AI is braindead. I could keep going. Everything is wrong.
The best part, however, is the physics. The physics in this game are absolutely broken. This is what makes the game special and hilarious. You never know when you are going to fly off your bike, fall through the world, clip through buildings, explode, etc., and it never got old for me.
