Title edited as it has been pointed out to me that the sale has actually ended

I picked up Descenders and Absolute Drift. Only tried the latter so far, but it’s great fun. Feels like there’s an extremely high skill ceiling to it that I am unlikely to reach. It only cost me £1 too!

I normally go for sim racers like Assetto Corsa and Automobilista, but I have a real soft spot for the old Wipeout games and the similarly-aged N-Gen. Pacer (a touch light on tracks but a perfect spiritual successor to Wipeout) and Jetborne Racing (basically a tech demo and extremely demanding with a gamepad, but worth checking out) have been fun releases in somewhat more recent years

    That’s actually something Wipeout did, it’s one of the few things from Fusion that people liked enough for it to be brought back.

    Ah, I didn’t know that, I’ve never played the series past 3 and XL.

    Just a heads up to, BNG has a 2097 mode as well, with entirely different physics/control. It’s still in dev builds but it seems like the goal is to integrate both styles from OG Wipeout (2085 and 2097) within the game as separate campaigns.

      You didn’t miss out on much with Fusion. I enjoyed the post-Fusion games on the PSP a lot though

      Thanks for all the information on BNG!
