Exo Rally Championship – PC Review

Exo Rally Championship is the latest exoplanetary racing sim by Exbleative (Exo One). Take rally style racing to the starts and compete in challenging courses across terraformed planets. Explore the surfaces in free roam or kick things up a notch with time trials. With publishing by Future Friends Games (Tiny Aquarium, Clover Pit), roll on up today with it only on Steam. Speed Isn't Everything in Exo Rally Championship Racing games have been around forever but I've never really been drawn to the more in-depth ones. Arcade style racing games, like Cruisin' USA and San Francisco Rush were more my style. I never got into the more realistic games like the Grand Turismo series. Though I'm only vaguely familiar with rally style racing in real life, Exo Rally Championship looks like it is somew...

Tour de France 2026 – PS5 Review

The most recent addition to Cyanide Studio's established cycling simulation series is Tour de France 2026. Published by Nacon, it released on June 4, 2026, for £34.99 for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Players can take on the route for the 113th edition of the cycling epic. The question is, does this year's instalment ride away in the yellow jersey or does it struggle to keep pace with the peloton? Equipping the Training Wheels I have never been much of a cycling fan. I do not dislike the sport, but it is not something I would normally sit down and watch by choice. At most, I might leave it on in the background during a lazy Sunday afternoon, occasionally looking up in disbelief at the endurance of riders who can tackle hundreds of kilometres when a few sharp turns and a modest ...

The game combines routine law enforcement tasks with open-world driving and car chases. Have you ever dreamed of speeding 200 kilometers per hour on a freeway to enforce rigid German traffic laws? This game might scratch that very particular itch for you! Polizei! Bitte anhalten!

Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks – PS5 Review

After initially releasing into Early Access on PC, Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks is now racing onto consoles! Available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, is this multiplayer-focused combat racer worth a look for both 40k fans and newcomers? Let's take a look! Developed by Caged Elephant, Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks is available now, and priced at a very reasonable £15.99 on the PlayStation Store. Dese Speed Freeks Are Gunna WAAAGH! The Warhammer 40k universe is big. Like, really bloody big. I'll admit, I don't know all there is to know about this long-running franchise, so I pose a question to you, reader! Which 40k game would you recommend? From real-time strategies to boomer shooters, the series has had a plethora of videogames across many genres. I've played a fair few...

Screamer – PS5 Review

Screamer roared onto the track on 23rd March for Deluxe Edition players, with everyone else jumping in on 26th March across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It was developed by Milestone, the same team behind the recent Hot Wheels Unleashed games, and notably the studio lineage that created the original Screamer back in 1995 under the studio name Graffiti. There are a few editions floating around, including a top-end version that throws in a model car if you’re feeling fancy. For most people though, the standard edition lands at £49.99, while the Deluxe Edition will cost you an extra £10 for the early access and bonuses. So, the big question: Has Milestone modernised their classic to perfection or should it have been left on the scrapheap? The Fast and the Waifurious ...

Wreckreation – PS5 Review

Developer Three Fields Entertainment knows a thing or two about wanton destruction. Their previous games, such as Dangerous Driving and Dangerous Golf, prove that sometimes, games simply about smashing stuff are fun! Now, though, the developer is attempting to think bigger, with Wreckreation. And by bigger, I mean open-world vehicular mayhem, of course! Wreckreation is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, priced at £34.99. This review will be based on the PlayStation 5 version, so pick up your DualSense because it's time to race! Wreck the Casbah It's immediately apparent, even from looking at screenshots, that Wreckreation bears more than a passing resemblance to 2008's Burnout Paradise. Which isn't too surprising, as many of the team had previously worked on that tit...

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds – PS5 Review

The Sonic Racing series has always lived in the shadow (no pun intended) of its spiky mascot’s platforming roots, but over the years it has built a reputation for fast and chaotic fun. Recent entries tried new ideas, like vehicle transformations in All-Stars Racing Transformed or the team strategy in Team Sonic Racing. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds takes these ideas further and adds its own twist: the ability to warp into different mini tracks in the middle of a race. Developed by Sonic Team, The game launched worldwide on 25th September 2025, costing around £54.99 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version coming soon. Players who bought the Deluxe Edition (£79.99) could play a few days early, starting 22nd September. So, does this new twist keep th...

Rally Arcade Classics – PS5 Review

If the sight of a Lancia Delta flying through the air, accompanied by yells of “over jump!”, provides a hit of nostalgia, then Rally Arcade Classics could be the game you’re waiting for. It’s a debut title from Netk2, a group of Barcelona-based devs who have been making games since the microcomputer days. It’s releasing on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PS5. Today, we look at the PlayStation 5 version. Do You Rally Want To Hurt Me? As a big fan of arcade racers and dewy-eyed nostalgia, the prospect of scratching this 30-year itch was too much to resist. If you're a fan of the genre, please let me know which are your favourites in the comments! Can Netk2 recapture the magic of those 90s-era racers? Or will this one leave you upended in a swamp? Let’s find out! Gameplay Rally Arcade ...

Recharge – PC Early Access Preview

Recharge is an RC car racing sim now available in early access. Room Games (Floor 9) is developing and publishing the physics-based small scale simulator for PC. Release to consoles will come in a future update. You can purchase now on Steam and the play the game as it continues development. Rippin' and Tearin' at RC Scale in Recharge I don't play a lot of racing games. Of the few I do, I enjoy those that are a nice mixture of simulator and arcade. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from Recharge other than it being a game about racing RC cars, but, you know, the high-tech kind that your parents couldn't afford. Not the electric kind stuck to the track that just go around and around and around… Anyhow, read below for my current thoughts on the game. Gameplay The gameplay in Recharg...

Descenders Next – PC Review

Descenders Next, like its predecessor, is an adrenaline-filled downhill racing game featuring a massive array of mountain trails to explore and stylishly fall down from. This new title from RageSquid and No More Robots is out now in Early Access on Steam. Let's take a deeper look. Snow Big Deal The franchise retains its core DNA with short but intense runs full of helpful checkpoints, optional objectives, and tough choices. Whether you're speeding down through a beautiful alpine forest or racing over rugged dirt, your goal is to calculate risks, land tricks, and avoid brutal wipeouts. Although this time around, we got boards instead of bikes. Shred. Spin. Slam? Before you even make it to the main menu, the game immediately kicks off with a tutorial to get you acquainted with the ba...
