Early Access Review
In Car Trader Simulator you are a man, grew by your uncle, from which you learnt to sell vehicles. After becoming an adult, you decided to live in Old York City and start your own dealership. Now you have to choose how to run your activity: being a part of the mafia and using it for shady business or running it legality? You will find it soon….

MODALITIES

Campaign: The story of the campaign is influenced by 2 main factors: Reputation and lawfulness. Based on which action you take during the narration. The more you will cooperate with the police, finding illegal businesses, more points of lawfulness you will get.
While reputation points are based in customer experience in your dealership. Do you want to earn more money using second-hand parts instead of new? This will impact the trust of your clients in the city and the longevity of the cars you sold.

Sandbox: In this modality you just need to concentrate your forces in making money and upgrading your dealership with more stores around the city and more employees.

GAMEPLAY

Before starting your own business, you need to take some workers on your side. Each worker can be leveled up from 1 to superstar. You can increase it using the training center (fastest and expensive way) and make them just working in your workshop. You can choose from:
  • Mechanic: the most important person inside, he will repair your cars with scraps (used parts) or money (new parts) and if the customer wants, paints the car. To be faster in his work, you can invest some money to take better equipment.

  • Driver: He will be responsible to take the car you bought to the stores around the city and during the campaign making some little missions for you. To make him work better, you can buy a car transporter or a tow truck with more places for cars.

  • Thief: In case you don’t want to pay for cars, the thief will steal them for you. But make sure to avoid police or he will go in prison and will need to pay for his release. You can equip him with lockpicks, computers, scooters, trailer and police scanners to make the stealing fastest and with less dangers.
Once you have your own workers, you need to buy destroyed or new cars from:
Insurance/police auction (usually the cheaper way with your own offers) or through reliable websites and black market (with a preset prices and usually more expensive than auctions).

Fun Fact: Devs took real photos of crashed cars around the internet and when you will repair it, the car will not be the same. Well they couldn’t do in a better way but it’s still fun to see.

Once the driver put the bought car in your store, you can choose if repairs with broken parts (scraps) or new parts (money). If you want to sell it easier, you can make an ad for it online. In that case customers will come just for that car and will be easier to dispose it.

The challenge of the game consists in buying the car at the right price, in case repair or modify and earn from the selling of it. Seems easy theoretically maybe not that simple in game.

CONTROLS

The game is just a point-click, the keyboard and mouse is enough and the best way to play it. Smooth commands and a user friendly interface, make the game easy to learn.

SOUND

The soundtrack is composed by very well made and relaxing musics. I could prefer more selection of music or a list where you can choose which one you want to run because I didn’t like some of them, but this is based on your own tastes.
An even better option could be to use your own music files inside the pc or even Spotify connected during the game session.

PROS

  • Random Events: The game is full of random events than could may lose you money/reputation/lawfulness. So you shouldn’t never use all your money because sometimes one of these events could ruin your career;

  • A huge choice of cars and different car manufactures inside the game (Suv, Hatchback, Sedan, Coupé, Van and supercars);

  • Import a custom pic from your pc, making it the logo of your company.
CONS
  • After completed the 2 types of stories in Campaign, could become boring making always the same actions just to earn money.

  • You could encounter in some little bugs inside your own store or during the dialogues of the campaign. Nothing that make the game unplayable, it’s still in early access.
CONCLUSION

Usually I’m a casual gamer of racing games and I’ve never tried management games. In this case the game is related with cars so why not to try it? Well I’m positively surprised how I enjoyed the early hours of the game during the campaign. The little story (10 chapters) got my attention and I also enjoyed the background of trading cars.

If you aren’t really into management games try it with the free Demo, who knows, you could be surprised.

Offroad Mania is an offroad experience, where you need to overtake every obstacle, collect trophies and be the king of 4X4 wheels. Will you be enough skilled to overcome all?

MODALITIES

In game, we have 3 modalities:

-Classic mode: There are 120 levels (60 normal and other 60 level with the same track but reversed), which you need to finish it, collect all the 3 “trophies” with your skill of Off-road Driver. To collect all the trophies you can restart the level and they will not be resetted.

-Hard Mode: The same of the classic one, with a difference: in case you restart the level after falling, the trophies will be resetted and you need to collect them another time from the beginning.

-Free roam: You have 3 maps where you can do whatever you want.

CARS

We can choose from 7 different cars, starting from a common 4x4 car for beginners and finishing with a little monster truck which doesn’t have limits.
For each car, you can change the colour of: suspension, car body, wheels, roll bar, Anti roll bars; In addiction also the colour of the driver: Gloves, pilot suit, helmet and the visor.

PHYSIC

The physic is very well made and it worths the cost of it at all. The behavior of the car is realistic, starting from the work of suspensions when you are on a rock, deformation of tires and the torque force that the car has available.

The only part i didn't like of car are the brakes. When you accelerate in a straight way and brusquely brake the car will continue to slide (like a car without ABS) for some meters. This little thing let me fall many times.

SOUND

For each car there is a different engine sound, I could be wrong but maybe an American engine like a V8. Well balanced in the steps for acceleration and in deceleration.

POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS

The game until now has enough content, for a good experience but with some additions could improve it a little:

-Car Statistics: When you unlocked a new vehicle, you don’t have idea if that is better than the one you are using. In my opinion a statistics about torque, acceleration, brake force ect could be an help.

-More music tracks in the menu;

-Time modality: a timer modality could add a challenge between the community, with also the steam leaderboard. Who will be the fastest driver to complete the levels? 0_0

CONCLUSION

During the months, the game was updated a lot and I am sure it will be a little gem in a short
time. If you find bugs or other problems the dev is friendly and helpful to resolve them. You can contact him in his discord group ;D

Early Access Review
Hyper flight is a spaceship racing game settled in various planets ( Titan, Orcus, Mars, Venus, Trtion)

MODALITIES

Opening the game, you will find a screen with different modalities to choose:
  • Solar System: You can race in 5 different planets (one still in developing) with different environmental and weather conditions.
  • Training: Before make a proper race, you need to get the driver license (yeah like in old gran turismo games) in 3 different groups: License P, A and R1.
  • Free flight: Choosing the planet, you can do whatever you want in your spaceship.
  • Race: After had completed the training and got the driver license, you will be able to start your career, racing against others.
  • Time trials: Just a race against the time. You can improve your time to get the Gold medal in that specific circuit.
DRIVING

In all honestly, at the beginning of the training, the driving with a controller was very hard. The spaceship wasn’t sensitive and you could easily destroy it in a rock. After some training, I learned how it behaves in every condition and I’m able to win a race but you need to have patience. So if at the beginning of the game you had that feeling, it’s common.
I highly recommend to play the game with a controller, with the keyboard could be harder.

RACE

Generally, we have 2 type of races that depend in which planet we are:

-Race through rocks: This one in my opinion is the best and hardest. You need to go through circle checkpoints, with near walls of rock. One mistake and you need to restart the race.

-Race in open air: I found them a little boring, you just need to avoid dynamic obstacles and use turbo. Still go through circle checkpoints but this time if you make a mistake you can easily keep the lead of the race.
The AI is very hard to battle in upper classes, it’s very rare that they commit a mistake or damage theirselves. You need to do your best time lap and don’t touch anything to avoid any sort of damage that will lead you to fall into the darkness.

DAMAGES

The damage is really well made, the spaceship will lose pieces of it, in the part you touched with, but it has a little problem: It’s unfair. If you are racing normally and an enemy touch you, you have an higher chance to be irredeemably damaged, losing the control of it. While your opponent will finish safely the race. So during the race you need to make your best lap, avoid
walls and enemy at all, like the plague.

SOUND

The music inside the game is available only during the races while not sound in the menu screen. Seems a little too silent, I can suggest to add it there too.
Regarding the musics on races, they aren’t bad, Retrowave style. There isn’t an huge selection, but they could be added easily.

POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS

In my opinion, the game has a great potential in terms of contents, but some little things could be improved or added to make a better game experience.
  • Spaceship statistics: In the menu to choose the vehicle for the race, you don’t have any sort of statistic about handling, max speed, acceleration ect the to make the best choice. To find out the best one for your driving style, you need to try each spaceship in a free flight session.
  • HUB: During the races i don’t have any type of info about the lap. It should be a great add the number of lap, current lap, current position and numbers of opponents inside the race.
  • Controls: The possibility to change them, so every driver can use the buttons more comfortable for him. This option will permit to use LB/RB buttons on Xbox controller, in a better way for some primary movements and finish the lap faster.

CONCLUSION

Hyper Flight is made by only 1 developer, I talked directly to him regarding some bugs and he immediately tried to solve them. This indicate that he cares about this game and trying the best to make it works.
Keeping the work on this game with more planets, spaceships and weather conditions could become an indie gem. I hope the best for the future of the game.
The game actually costs 4 euros and it worths buying it with when it will be in sale. You can just use it in split screen with a friend, to seeing him crashing the spaceship in pieces :D

Autobahn Police Simulator is an interesting game with a gameplay ruined completely by the physic of the vehicles.

CAREER
You start like a beginner policeman who wants to grow his rank inside the police.
In all the game, you can drive only 2 cars:

-Patrol car= Volkswagen Passat (in options you can change the livery in: British, Japanese, Austrian, Dutch, German, American, Swiss and French police)

-Plain clothes car= BMW series 3 ‘08

When you begin your shift, you need to check which random event will allow to finish it in a limited time. The random events could be:

-Normal check of the drivers/vehicles: you need to stop them (could happen that someone escapes), make the right questions about drugs, alcohol or illegal things, control if in the car/truck is all working (not working lights, badges expired, axles under a certain weight inside the documents and the cargo is anchored well). At the end choose to create a monetary fees, arrest him or give only a warning and let him go away.

-Crash (with only 1 car or multiple ones): After arrived in the crash site, put enough traffic cones, lanterns (you find them inside your trunk) to isolate the scene, make a sketch where cars and broken objects are placed and listen what happened from different passengers.

MAP
In game there are only 3 highways where you can drive, while the secondary streets aren’t usable. They give you access to the fast travel, where you can spawn in all the possible exits oh the highways.
I hope it could be a bigger map, because the environment and streets are always the same (expect for a part of an highway has 3 lines instead of 2)

GRAPHIC AND PHYSIC
Here we are, the real Achilles heel of this game….. The physic will stop you play it more than 20 minutes: NOT precise, at every curve your car will crash for sure at a modest speed and the brakes are more powerfull than a F1 car.
While for the graphic it’s not optimized at all. It will lag with every setup and every graphic card and it’s not a good thing seeing the lag while you are at 200km/h making slalom through cars.

Conclusion
I tried it only because was free directly on steam, I couldn’t spend 10 euros for this one. But I think that with some improvements the game could be not bad at all.
I saw that the devs created the sequel, I’ll try it once they put it free too ;D

Early Access Review
Rude Racers is a cheap game but very optimized and hides a very challenge gameplay.

What is Rude Racers?

It is a scrolling game, where you need to beat your quad/endure bike enemies with your speed or with the brute force before the time finishes or the finish lap.
We have two modalities: Career and quick mode.
In quick mode, you can choose the type of race you will do, while the divided into seasons (5 in total) while the career doesn’t need an explanation.

Difficulty

In the career mode, in hard mode, without any sort of booster, the challenge is very high: In some levels, if you make a little mistake, you need to restart it because you will not able to win it.
For this reason, I loved this game a lot:
Who want a very hard challenge could play it all in hard while who are searching a casual game, normal is not that hard and don’t lead the player to rage quit and uninstall the game.

Controls

As I said, the game is very optimized also about the compatibility of controller: without lag and all the keys work perfectly. In fact, in this game the precision and change of the direction is fundamental to win over the enemies.

Graphic

The game has a cartoon ambience but very detailed. In every season, there are some new things that don’t annoy you to be like and always in the same environment (such as pizza boys, more powerful police, endure bikes ect..)

PLUS

-The devs are open to improve their game with ideas and fixing some eventual bug.
-They always answer you for any problem in the steam hub.
-I also helped to improve some levels in game and some little bugs and I did it because I saw
a lot of potential in this game. That time i did a good choice ;D

WEEKLY RACE

Every week there is, in the LiveWire mode, the possibility to win steam gift cards if you do the best time in the leaderboard against the other players.

Classic Racers is an hidden gem in a sea of indie racing games. Thanks to the dev I could try it for free because became an F2p.

What is Classic Racers?

The purpose in game is like trackmania: beat your enemy time. Instead of trackmania, here you can only drive classic cars in classic tracks. If you search for a further challenge, the global leaderboard is for you. Moreover, in the leaderboard there aren’t time cheater so you could have an healthy challenge.

Cars

We can choose between 9 model of cars. Three categories from the less powerful to the old f1 car. (All the cars are clones and not with original logo). We can find very rare cars like the abarth 1000 barchetta or some LeMans Porsche.

Controls

The Steering wheel should be compatible, but like always, I recommend to try this type of games with a controller.
In my opinion, the control of the car is one the best thing in this game, infact it’s direct without a lag and without many driving assistance. The manual transmission is very fast so with a perfect change, you can go out from a curve fast and improving your time. A real drive without some finery.

Graphic and the sound

The graphic is not its best point. Nothing special but you can surely enjoy it. While the sound is well made, maybe a little too “arcade” but not the worst possible.

Tracks

The Tracks are very well made, full of dangers and harpin bends. To improve your time you need to use every piece of street or gravel and do attention to the jumps of the car that can ruin your performance.

Cons

-Impossibility to change the default commands of some action: for me gear up and gear down are not in the best position
for the controller.

At the end you must try this game. I had a good time try to improve my time in the leaderboard and sometimes I obtained also the first position[imgur.com] (I can write that in the Curriculum ;D).
Give it a try it’s free you will like it.

ITA:
Mind Spheres è un puzzle game , rilassante e abbastanza corto. In un 'oretta ma anche meno, si riesce a completarlo al 100%.
Mi aspettavo una difficoltà più alta e qualche livello si somigliava tra loro (50 livelli in tutto). La difficoltà col passare dei livelli non è che sia poi cosi aumentata, è rimasta davvero sul facile.
Questo farà felici i cacciatori di obiettivi.
Giocateci se trovate una key gratis o se volete buttare 99 cent per cosi poco contenuto ;D

ENG:

Mind Spheres is a puzzle game, relaxing but very short. In less than 1 hour you can easily finish it to the 100%. I expected an harder game and many levels were very similar( 50 levels in total). The difficult is not increased during the hour of playing, it stayed to the easy level.
The achievement hunters will be happy to find an easy 100% game ;D
I recommend to play it only if you find a free key somewhere, don't use 99 cent for a poor gameplay like this.

Sebastian Loeb Rally è un gioco creato dalla milestone nel 2016.
La prima cosa che salta all’occhio sono le recensioni non del tutto positive. Ma stiam parlando sempre di milestone, uno sviluppatore che ha la fama di fare le cose a metà e non sempre perfette.

Guidabilità
Già dalla prima gara il comportamento delle vettura sembra “strano” rispetto a titoli arcade più blasonati come dirt 3,4 o dirt rally. Le ruote sembrano come slittare sempre e comunque, facendo diventare la prima ore di guida frustrante. Dopo poco però, ci si riesce ad abituare e quella sensazione sparisce del tutto.

Difficoltà
La difficoltà è molto soggettiva. Io che gioco a titoli di corsa sin da quando ero piccolo ho impostato subito su difficile-estremo, ma vedendo i tempi sulla difficoltà medio posso intuire come anche per un novellino non sia difficile vincere.

Parco Auto
Sul parco auto milestone non mi hai mai deluso e in ogni gioco mette sempre qualche “rarità”. Ce n’è per tutti i gusti: dalla piccola 106 rally, alla clio 16v, abarth a112 alle regine come Lancia Stratos, lancia S4 per finire con la classe S con prototipi come Toyota MR2 222D e Lancia ECV. Ci sono anche auto da rallycross e cronoscalata pikes-peak.

Multiplayer
Bè che dire deserto. Solo grazie all’aiuto di un amico son riuscito ad ottenere l’obiettivo ma prima che tu possa trovare qualcuno ne devono passare di anni.

Carriera
Uno dei punti che forse non attrae i giocatori è proprio la noiosità e ripetitività della carriera. Infatti abbiamo eventi ripetuti più e più volte gli stesse eventi nelle stesse mappe (che sono solo 9 località). Cambia soltanto l’auto con cui gareggi e le condizioni metereologiche.

Cosa lo rende diverso?
Il vero protagonista del gioco è appunto Sebastien Loeb con 2 eventi:
1) Loeb event= una serie di 9 gare un po’ più difficili nelle quali alla fine di esse ti verrà regalata un ‘auto da usare nella carriera con una speciale livrea arancione.
2) Loeb experience= questa è la modalità che ho apprezzato di più. Consiste nel ripercorrere la carriera di Loeb da quando ha iniziato fino alla conquista del record sulla pikes-peak. Il tutto unito con una serie di video in cui lo stesso Loeb spiega gli avvenimenti e le emozioni provate.

Consiglio l'acquisto a tutti i giocatori dagli amatori fino ai più esperti ma essendo un titolo del 2016 aspettate qualche sconto.

WRC 7 è un gioco che non punta assolutamente alla simulazione ma all'arcade. Scrivo questa recensione dopo aver finito tutti i campionati nella modalità carriera (WRC juniour, WRC 2 e WRC) in modalità difficile. All'inizio vedendo la mole di commenti per niente soddisfatti del gioco ero indeciso se prenderlo o no. Trovando però una buona offerta su indiegala mi decisi a prenderlo. Nella prima gara con la Hyundai i20 fu un vero shock: il comportamento dell'auto era diverso a tutti gli altri giochi racing: in certe curve l'auto se ne andava dove voleva lei, sovrasterzando dove le pareva. Inoltre incontrando anche dei piccoli saltelli, l'auto iniziava a rotolare all'impazzata.
Il vero e grande DIFETTO DEL GIOCO è appunto la FISICA dell'auto che va sicuramente riguardata nel prossimo wrc.
Abituandomi ad essa e cercando di evitare e prevedere i comportamenti "strani", il gioco diventa davvero PIACEVOLE da giocare e non molto diverso dagli altri arcade.
La GRAFICA nulla di sensazione ma mi son divertito a fare vari scatti con i panorami dei paesaggio che costeggiano le strade.
Il SUONO è molto fedele e assolutamente da non sottovalutare.
Potevano aggiungere più modelli di auto ma capisco che si siano voluti soffermare solo sulle ultime generazioni. (Anche se un campionato storico non ci sarebbe stato male).
Insomma raccomando il gioco a coloro che non cercano la simulazione alla dirt rally ma che si divertano con qualsiasi mezzo a 4 ruote. Se giocato ad un buon livello di difficoltà riesce a regalati delle soddisfazioni.
(Raccomando di giocarci con un controller per maggiore godibilità e immediatezza)

Phantom soldier un gioco in cui semplicemente vi danno un'arma e dovete sparare ai fantasmi e ai vari portali. Completando i vari mini obiettivi, potrete cambiare arma per un totale di 3 armi comprese nel gioco (Wow.. troppe). Ecco tutto questo è il gioco, creato con vari asset di unity ripresi ovunque...Provatelo solo per le carte se avete trovato una key in giro.
