Turbo Golf Racing early access review: a great new motorsport takes us one step closer to the car olympics

Fore stroke engine Is it lazy to describeTurbo Golf Racingas ‘Rocket Leagueif the cars were playing golf instead of football?' Abit, yes. But it’s also largely accurate. Up to eight players race across a track, ramming their boost-enabled car into their huge futuristic golf ball to send it flying forwards until (depending on your skill or luck) it flies/rolls/plops anticlimactically into the big hole at the end. It’s golf, sort of, but fast, demanding, and often unpredictable....

American Truck Simulator's Montana DLC is available now

If you fancy some Sunday delivery driving Last week I left the factory loading bay with the news thatAmerican Truck Simulatorlatest DLC hada release date, but it seems only fair I complete the job and deliver the news that: hey, American Truck Simulator’s Montana DLC is out now. When I used to watch trucking videos on YouTube, it was states like Montana that I most enjoyed seeing. States with vast, distinctly American landscapes, and lots of mid-sized cities that I’m unlikely to ever find cause to visit in real life....

Re-Volt has returned to Steam and GOG after 8 years

23 years after its first release Re-Voltis a remote control car racing game released in 1999 to mixed reviews, but 23 years later there’s still a community devoted to it. After a nine year absence, the game has now returned to Steam and GOG. It’s apparently in less than ideal condition, but the community already have fixes for that. The immediate pleasure of Re-Volt is that it’s about remote controlled cars, which means you’re vehicles are small and tracks are set in the aisles of supermarkets, toy stores and other locations based upon the real world....

Steam now has support for Nintendo Joy-Cons in beta

Perfect for little hands Last week, Steam added support forNintendo Online classic controllers. What it didn’t have was support for the Nintendo Switch’s default Joy-Con controllers.

Descenders is a fun mountain biking game wrapped in a bland roguelike

Closing out my Tour De Jeux by making my own fun I don’t think I like the gameDescendersostensibly is, but I enjoy playing. It’s a downhill mountain biking game with dangerous speeds and even more dangerous stunts, including leaping through a ring of fire over of a moving train. This is fun. The roguelikelike campaign structure this is all built into, eh, I don’t think it has added any enjoyment. But it is very fun to stack a double-backflip, slam into a rock, and watch your ragdoll corpse rocket downhill....

Entertain hungry bird children in weirdo camp sim Camp Canyonwood

In early access now. I am being haunted by a cryptid. My exposure to summer camps is entirely through films and games. Summer camp culture isn’t as much of a thing in the UK, possibly because we’re fairly happy to allow our children to learn to tie knots by themselves, by affixing each other to disused railway tracks or sick trees. In any case, the summer camps I’ve seen portrayed are usually unwholesome ones, because they’re good horror fodder....

Italian folk horror Saturnalia pits you against a terrifying, weird town

There’s no map, and you’re being hunted So much of this sounds really cool. You play as a few different characters, who have different skills but are all trying to escape Gravoi. The town has an unspecified but presumably horrific winter solstice ritual, and by switching between the characters, or teaming them up, the plan is to escape before the ritual happens. There’s no map, so you have to just learn your way around town (including a maze of underground tunnels and shortcuts), all the while being hunted bysomething....

Ultimate Audio Bang #23: our favourite FPS game modes

A nostalgia power hour On this week’s episode of theUltimate Audio Bang, we get all nostalgic as we pick our favourite FPS game modes over the years. It’s mainly an excuse for me for me to bring up Gears Of War and it’s long-forgotten Wingman mode, which I demand make a return to the series.
