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.

Traffic City
If this is the Early Access version this game has LOADS of potential. To begin with you have a choice of vehicles to drive around a city which adopts a traditional ‘grid iron’ street pattern with a roundabout in the middle. On the whole the AI is quite good and precise and all the junctions which have them feature working traffic lights. Beware though: The steering left / right is a little ferocious if you keep the A / D or arrow = / = keys depressed. Fun / addictive / quite inspiring. I hope to see more from this game soon :o)

This game is the testament for Human Endurance. How much are time are you willing to listen to the same annoying song for 2-3 hours. Knowing you get 2nd place you have to restart the entire race which each race can last up to 5-20 minutes. You’d probably be saying, “Oh how bad could it be.” Believe me, this is the worst 2.2 hours I have spent in my entire life. They should give this game to the military for mental endurance training.
