Review by Harvard L. Party games are in a weird spot on the Nintendo Switch at the moment. The console is ready-made for them with its portability and ease of sharing controllers, and developers of all kinds have answered the call. Chiki Chiki Boxy Racers falls square into this category…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Codemasters is reliable with F1, and that’s just as well, given that it’s my racing event. I’m happy to give rally and V8s a miss, and downright glad that NASCAR isn’t a thing down this way. F1, though, is where you’ll find me up at the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. All-Star Fruit Racing is a clever parody, first and foremost. When you’re entering a genre (the kart racer) where you know that you’re going to be instantly compared to something of the sheer prominence of Mario Kart, you surely know that any license that you might…

There’s…

I genuinely feel bad reviewing this game – it embodies everything I love about the indie development scene: it’s a re-imagining of a well-known genre with imaginative mechanics that feels different to anything else you might play. It’s an uncompromised vision as well, featuring some excellent…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. One of the genres that the Nintendo Switch is going to struggle with is racing games that are more serious in tone than Mario Kart. It has nothing to do with the power of the console, but rather, the way it’s designed. Specifically, it lacks analogue…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m going to get my biggest gripe with Gran Turismo Sport out of the way from the start; the requirement to be online in order to save your game is trash. If the servers are down then all those cars and tracks you’ve spent hours unlocking…
