CyberTaxi
UPDATED Review 4/10/2021: Wow! This is a ton of fun. I had some prior grievances with some of the choices made with gameplay that were making the game very hard to enjoy for me. I voiced my concerns in my review, and the devs (small, indie dev team) responded very quickly to address some of those concerns. The devs are very receptive to feedback and appreciate hearing from their community, and it seems like they care about their product after seeing the most recent updates.
The gameplay is a lot of fun! It’s a bit of a combo of Crazy Taxi, Quarantine, and Carmageddon with slight influences from other media as well. If you’ve played Quarantine, you’ll notice the inspiration, but trust me, the devs are working hard to make this their own game! You will find yourself driving around a crazy, chaotic, and relatively apocalyptic city with bad guys and pedestrians on the road, turrets, other cabs/vehicles, and more. You are picking up fares, some of which need to go somewhere, others want you to kill someone or blow up a vehicle, and others want you to blow up a building (similar to dropping someone off at a destination, except with more explosions!). There may be more fare types in later districts that I haven’t gotten to yet, but I am satisfied with the fare types that are already in the game.

Interesting combination of racing (you have to reach the end of the level before time runs out) and shoot ‘em up, although neither part is really prominent. You will rarely lose a level because of a timer if you just don’t stop moving forward, and the fighting part of the game only becomes interesting on bosses (which are quite different from the main game and could be really challenging sometimes).
Could be fun for speedrunning, most of the time I’ve played it I was trying to optimize my time on certain levels that I liked the most. But don’t think about it as a racing simulator. When you try to go fast your car feels more like a rocket ship, so maybe this game will fit wonky physics simulator lovers more than racing lovers.

Motor Assailant: Prologue
The game looks great, but the timer is a bit too tight, and the first boss is way too hard. Loved the intro movies!

CrashMetal - Cyberpunk
I’ll talk about the pros and cons of this game to let you, the reader, know more about the game, at the end I’ll give my opinion on the game in it’s current state and let you decide whether it’s worth it or not.
-PROS-
The game is very well optimised for both my laptop and my PC and run well on both systems.
There’s a lot of customisation for the different vehicles that are currently in the game
The map is a decent size, it’s not huge and it’s not small
You’re able to teleport to the different races/bosses without having to spend any credit (aka in-game currency)

The game is really great although there are a lot of bugs, sometimes when I am in the performance upgrade page I go to press escape, but it doesn’t work and I have to close the game then reopen it for it to work. As well as when you enter drift area, you cannot go onto other events even after the timer for drift mode runs out, so you would have to go back to garage then back into the map to be able to access the other races, and the problem of “Name too short” while trying to access multiplayer, you can’t actually change your name so that kinda sucked. The graphics are really great, gameplay is a little confusing at first, but then you learn them quickly and the races are good but repetative.

It’s janky shovelware. The only reason I’m writing this review is because nobody else has. Better games for a dollar. Better games for fifty cents. Better games for free.
