Absolut Drift is nice minimalistic top down drifting game with great D&B soundtrack. The graphics are well suited for it and I like the simple aesthetics it has. The game has 6 free roam levels with missions and different tracks to drift for points. It took me about 2 hours to drift through the game but it takes longer to really learn the controls and drift as nicely as in the game videos. Got this from Steam Sale so it was worth the money (~7e).

Race Online is a nice looking retro racer from top down perspective and is somewhat fun to play but if you're looking similar gameplay than in legendary Slicks 'n' Slide or Turbosliders you will be disappointed. The car handling is quite different and isn't what you would expect for a car as they move and handle like solid blocks, get stuck easily and you can't reverse you way out. There's not much difference between how cars (sports car, formula, tractor, etc.) handle and move. Also seems that track obstacle's or car's collision model isn't quite what the graphics show.

Overall the game feels ready and I didn't experience any bugs although the game crashed couple of times. The tracks are a mixed bunch, some are nice to race but often tracks are a bit annoying (due AI & collision model) and track profile isn't "professional" style. Some tracks look unfinished. The career mode is quite easy as the only difficulty is to get pass the AI cars after start and not to get stuck to them or pushed. Even on harder difficulty levels the difficulty comes from getting stuck to obstacles as the track is narrow and you can't pass or you crash to AI cars which are stuck. Also the grinding part of getting new cars and upgrading their parts feels artificial. The game ran quite nicely on my Macbook Pro (late 2013).

As the game is still in early access I hope the developers will enhance car physics and model before the release. They could take some example from e.g. Turbosliders which is fun to play but still competitive. Or maybe developers have played Turbosliders as the graphics and some of the tracks look similar.

Will be interesting to see how the multiplayer works when it's released.

In this development state I can't recommend this game. I hope the game gets better but I doubt it as the car physics are a big issue for games like these to change later on.

Deadlight is a delightful 2D zombie sidescroller with good visuals and atmosphere. Entertainment for about 6 hours if you play slowly like me so it's a bit short and quickly played through. The game is set on post-apolyptic Seattle where you control a survivor named Randall Wayne looking for his family. Typical platformer with limited action elements and some simple puzzles. Not much for a story but enough to keep it going. There was some frustrating control issues. Could recommend if it's on sale.
