Barro 2020

Barro 2020, likely one of the most fun arcade racing games I’ve played with friends, the controller support is great aswell! It’s a game worth giving a shot and it’ll be worth your time spent, but the real gem is in playing this game with someone else.

It’s a bit of a turnoff for some that there’s so little tracks, and it may look really simplistic aswell, which it is, but I believe in adds to the charm of it, like an old 3D flash game. I have yet to try more games from these developers as I hope they’re as fun as this one.

The Game is fine for its price its a cheap little game.

But before playing the game comfortable you have to go trough the trouble of changing the screen resolution to something ok for your monitor because the first time you start up the game it will be in 4:3 and that doesnt change until you change it and here is the second problem to navigate in the game you only use your keyboard and it doesnt even explain you how to control the game or anything so mouse support atleast in the menu and a tutorial would be something nice to have if the developer still is going to read the reviews and update the game.But now to the positive part the gameplay gets fun because of the cars being a little bit fast when playing with friends that makes it a little bit more fun to play the game. Another positive thing is that all cars and stages are unlocked (correct me if im wrong but it looks like that) something I havent seen in many racing games and even more for the price.

Total Arcade Racing

Fun and addictive sort of “old school” racing game. It has super smooth scrolling with nice car handing, and every inch counts on the track! I’m very impressed with it so far. No weapon, if you want your opponent out of the way you have to push and grind them!

The Survival mode is also a nice game mode where you just have to avoid all the kamikaze cars out to get you. Fun!

Overall a nice buy for the family or gamer(s) who likes to do multiplayer and/or just fool around and have a few laughs.

Pretty dope.

But make it easier to get stars. Being in the global top ten should not still earn you only 1/3 stars on a track

I liked this game for its realism,some minimalistic character. The game has a lot of different cars, very pleased that there is a lot of beautifully designed maps. Because of these reasons and many other things, the game attracts for many hours, I definitely advise you.

Bears Can’t Drift!?

Bears Can’t Drift!?

What is Bears Can’t Drift!?

Bears Can’t Drift is a kart racer that is set in a stylised world and is heavily inspired from Diddy Kong Racing. Players take control of bears and race across a variety of tracks and game modes with up to four players in a split-screen game. Four game modes are available to be played. These include time trial, single race, and checkpoint. As a result of these modes being used in countless other racing games, they are self-explanatory.

The fourth game mode, I’m not certain what they’ve called it, or really what the objective has you eat power-ups to fill up a power-up bar. I have yet to try this in the multiplayer mode. However, in the single-player mode, I filled up my bar and attacked the opposition. It isn’t entirely clear what is supposed to happen or what you are supposed to do. An attempt to attack a single enemy mercilessly never eliminated them. Allowing the AI to attack me and empty my own bar never ‘killed’ me. Racing around the track six consecutive times didn’t bring a possible ‘race’ to a close. Consequently, some clarification on this mode is necessary.

Bears Can’t Drift!? bears a decent resemblance to N64 classic Diddy Kong Racing but this is definetly not a negative.

The game has an over world which connects different tracks and currently there are 3 different game modes. Single Race which, as you would expect, pits you against up to 7 other racers, time trial which does as it says on the tin and a picnic basket mode where you must be the first to collect picnic baskets that keep spawning around the track.

Graphically the game looks lovely running on the Unreal 4 engine and so far the developer has put in some different looking tracks. A little bit more “stuff” on each track would be nice but I am sure this will come as the game continues through early access.

PAKO - Car Chase Simulator

PAKO - Car Chase Simulator

PAKO - Car Chase Simulator is a game in which you have to avoid crashing for a certain amount of time while you’re being chased by cops.

The first thing to attract my attention was the simplistic and adorable cartoonish graphics and soundtracks with a retro vibe, as well as the menu design in harmony with this nostalgic direction.

The controls are simple, you have an accelerator, brake and power-up use buttons. Since your car can never stop going forward, you can only either slow down or speed up your car. It’s definitely not as easy as it sounds though, because the game is not very forgiving even againsts your “soft touches” and you will explode no matter how slow you crash. You are supposed to do a lot of drifting and use the environment and your powerups to get rid of your chasers. It’s also important to note that it’s possible to change the camera angle to the one that suits to the environment.

Generally speaking I don’t like the idea of porting a mobile game to pc. This one though is acceptable. Liked the original version a lot. It was one of those phone games that wasn’t cringy or full of microtransactions, but instead implements the classical idea of simplicity which I believe is what a good mobile game should have. The sense of humor is also quite likable (the square level for example, I believe it is a indirect refrence to some ugly event happened in my country decades ago).

This port version obiviously kept all the good qualities and added some more stuff. Simplicity sure isn’t quite the thing for a pc game but who knows, sometimes people just need some simple, quick fun I guess. Both version is still quite buggy and need some fixing, but that doesn’t affect the enjoyment it provides. So for now I will say this is definitely something I’d recommend, but at the same time I do hope the developers can keep optimizing it and add more features.

DIRT 5

DIRT 5

–——————————————————–

WARNING: do not buy the Amplified Edition but go for the Standard game instead. To this day it’s unclear what the extra benefits of Amplified are gonna be. They already released a car DLC (Porsche Macan) that isn’t even part of the Amplified Edition and in a recent video interview with the dev director on the DIRT YT channel it’s stated that even the Standard game is gonna get extra free content. I still like the game but so far the extra money I paid for the Amplified Edition feels like a waste.

TL;DR

  • Dirt 5 is really good with some caveats. If you’re looking for something in the vein of the previous DiRT games, you’ll likely be disappointed. But if you enjoy arcade offroad racers hearkening back to the PS2/Xbox era, you should definitely check this out at some point, most likely on sale.

Pros, Cons, and Meh(s):

PROS

  • Wide range of car disciplines, from rallycross spec cars to 80s rally to trucks to buggys. All of them feel fast, responsive and just fun to drive.

  • Graphics are really solid, night time lighting is especially nice.

Bug makes the game impossible to finish…

Basically, after 20+ hours playing, I can’t access the final mission because the game is buggy.

Contacted support and help them to find the issue and after a week their solution is “reset the game, and start again”

This is the conversation in the forum:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/712180/discussions/1/1741094390464039140/

And this is their respone via mail:

“We’ll pass this along to the team to investigate. Currently the only way to reset your levels is to delete your save game. This will mean you have to recomplete the entire game again.”

An abstract and colorful physics playground of vehicular chaos and acrobatic rescue missions, a single featureless human against alien odds must put his driving skills to the test and break his humanoid brethren free from their extraterrestrial captives. It won’t be easy with all sorts of deadly traps and puzzles blocking your path, but through imagination the player will find no end to crazy and interesting ways to break through and commandeer that final beckoning escape airplane at the end of each island.
