Sometimes a game comes along and just wants to be a bright, happy bit of fan service, and to criticise it for that, and not being something that it’s not, seems a bit silly. As a bright and happy bit of fan service, Chocobo GP is wholesome, charming, cheerful and…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I feel sorry for the developers of Ultimate Racing 2D. They’ve done the best they can to make something that punches well above its weight in terms of the quality and quantity for a hyper-indie project. I was genuinely surprised to see that there were so…
