Zombie Derby: Pixel Survival

Zombie Derby: Pixel Survival

Zombie Derby: Pixel Survival is a simple arcade game where the goal is to drive through a gauntlet of zombies and obstacles while trying to prevent damage to your vehicle. This is impossible on the first attempt, so players must use the money they earn from killing zombies to purchase vehicle upgrades. This simple loop of dying and upgrading until a level is passable won’t appeal to everyone, especially players who hate seeing mobile releases on PC. Nevertheless, the game can be fun, and the new art style is an improvement over the previous two titles in the series.

Gameplay: The gameplay loop is straightforward, as all players have to do is kill zombies and make it to the end of the level with their vehicle intact to proceed to the next.

Graphics: Pixel Survival features a new art style for the series, making it look less gruesome and much more lighthearted than the previous titles.

Sound: The guitar-driven soundtrack is decent, and the sound effects are suitable for a zombie game

Barro

Barro

Barro is a barebones racing game that is unlikely to appeal to anyone except for casual players or those looking for something that can be completed in less than an hour. Everything from the visuals to the audio is minimal at best and while the game doesn’t have any critical bugs or flaws it is extremely bland and easy. Players looking for an easy challenge or want a simple racing game that can be played in local split-screen mode can do worse than spend their pocket change on this game, but for everyone else, there are far better options.

Gameplay: The game features a decent amount of tracks, but they are all very short and easy.

Graphics: Visually Barro looks extremely generic and there’s nothing to distinguish it from all the other games that use simple store-bought assets.

Sound: As with everything else in the game the audio in Barro is very minimal and the lack of music just highlights how lackluster the sound effects are

80’s OVERDRIVE

80’s OVERDRIVE

Players can make their way through a 37 race Career Mode while purchasing new cars and upgrades along the way or hop into the Time Attack mode for a race against the clock. Unfortunately, the track editor is a little lacking, but tweaking all the variables does result in some interest tracks. While the game can be a bit of a grind and has its fair share of frustrating moments, it’s still a blast to play, and something fans of the genre will enjoy.

Gameplay: Race as fast as possible while dodging traffic, cops, and obstacles.

Graphics: The pixel art is vibrant and detailed, and there are plenty of track themes.

RiMS Racing

RiMS Racing

RiMS Racing doesn’t reinvent the motorbike racing genre, but it offers a compelling driving experience and a unique mechanics management system. Newcomers will find the game rather daunting as it leans heavily towards the simulation end of the racing spectrum, but the results can be gratifying with some time and practice. Some elements, such as the quick-time events for pit stops and part swapping, can become tedious, but even these can be streamlined if desired. Overall, this is an excellent game if you are a fan of motorbike racing or willing to learn from your mistakes.

Gameplay: Quite daunting, but very rewarding once you get the hang of it.

WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship

WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship

WRC 10 continues to improve on this longstanding series with new tracks, a new livery editor as well as other tweaks and updates. It is still a lot of fun to play, and career mode is as addictive as ever, but don’t expect anything radically new or different compared to last year. Fans who may have skipped out on the previous two entries on the Epic Game Store will get the most out of this one, but even veterans should enjoy the new locations, historic rallies, and legendary cars.

Gameplay: Enough settings to make the game as accessible as you want it to be.

Graphics: The cars look as good as always, and some of the tracks are very scenic.

Sound: The sound effects are authentic, and the co-driver is actually helpful
