Need for Speed 2015

Introduction

I have been a fan of Need for Speed franchise since NFS: Underground 2, but I became a real fan after playing NFS: Most Wanted and NFS: Carbon.
These games were and still are special in my long gaming experience.
Those were games where my total playtime was huge! Along with Crashday, FlatOut: 1, 2, UC, TDU, ETS 1 and Richard Burns Rally these are the best games of my early gaming experience.
Playing in Carbon and MW was a religion, that was absolutely an amazing time.
I love everything about those 2 games! Powerful soundtrack, customization, cars, atmosphere, all these things were top!
But let's leave nostalgia and move on to the review of Need for Speed 2015...

World

I bought this game because of the atmosphere. It has a really special vibe, in my opinion the best from the whole modern NFS era. You can really feel this underground mood.
The game is set to the night mode only, there is no daylight and that was a really good move because it fits perfectly to the reckless races!
Map size is fair enough, it's not too big or too small.
The city itself is varied. We have nice municipial areas, downtown with fancy neons, highways with big intersections and canyons. A perfect environment for races!

Cars and tuning

Generally speaking vehicles are very cool but the amount of them and also lack of some essential models is a crime.
Why we don't have Mitshubishi Lancer EVO X for example? It's iconic car!
However, fortunately we have legendary F40, old GTR, GTR R34 so it's not really that bad. :)
Vehicles looks very good! Attention to details was on the first place, it's clearly visible.
Hard to find any faulty aspect in models of these cars, well only the amount of the cars is not that satisfying.
Customization is fantastic but not in every aspect. You can tuning your engine, gearbox, intercoolers etc. and also you can tuning your car visually.
In NFS tuning is a prior thing, it's a must and fortunately it was well executed, but not in a matter of the amount of parts...
Honestly when I'm customizing my Porsche I feel bad. I can't add more shapes of the lights, more bonets, more exhausts ... it's really underwhelming in compare to the Most Wanted and foremostly, Carbon.
Nonetheless there is many models of rims and skins so I can forgive these neglections.

Graphics

I'm bold to admit this is the best graphics from the all NFS-s I've ever seen.
It just looks beautiful in this artistic underground style!
I love the reflections, tones, textures quality, lighting, everything looks great!
Only one thing which I don't like is the foliage quality, but in racing game it's not important to have a nice vegetation especially when It's dark. ;)
In general this graphics is perfect for photos! (down below, a presentation of my favourite shots)
One advice. If you want the best looking of this game don't use FXAA anti-aliasing! Use TAA instead. It's more demanding, but game looks definitely better. :)

Opponents

At the beginning one thing about servers! Sometimes they're under maintenance so don't make any activities in this time because you will lost your progress!
It's an online game (permanent internet connection) so you play with the real people all the time. I do not recommend to race with somebody who have faster car because you'll fail miserably. The hardest challenge is drifting with people, better train before partcipation.
Police AI is quite intelligent. Their aggresiveness depends on what heat level you're.
The highest stake which I got was heat level 3 (5 levels are available) and it's noticeable they're more aggresive then, they will want to stop you by using road blocks and later spikes so be careful.
However the police chases are not that intense like in MW and Carbon.
If you want better chases I recommend project Unite. Intensity of chases is on the next level with this mod for sure. :)

Game mechanics

Basic modes: time trial, drift, drag, sprint and circuit.
The hardest is drift because you can't hit any barrier during performance and you need to learn how to make you car drifting. Quite often (depends on the car model) I needed to adjust my car for this discipline.
Others are ok. I mean sprint is not often easy because of lacking of virtual barriers, you can lost your way to the finish point, but other than that game modes are not problematic.

Music and sounds

You know, it's not my style but on the other hand this music fits well to the atmosphere of this game so it's tolerable. Mostly you will hear electronics and rappers. Unfortunately there is no any metal artists like in MW.
Well, I have mixed feelings about this soundtrack, with this I feel just neutral.
If you can't stand with these tracks open your own tracklist on spotify and mute the music in settings because it's not a badass style anymore. :(
Now let's talk about sounds. For me they're good enough.
Every car has different sound. The sound of bursting flame from the exhausts feels real, same thing about nitro. You can hear clearly you're driving during rainy weather. Police sirens sounds nice. Environmental sounds are well developed.
Aha, and voice acting was nicely crafted also. Well done.

Physics

As far from what I know, many people are complaining about bad driving physics in this game. It's not fair.
Everything depends on the car. it's noticeable some of them are clunky and tough in steering, I admit. But if you adjust some settings (steer reaction, steer range etc.) your car will be not that hard to handle.
Sacrifice your time for adjusting and that will be good for you.
I experimented with Nissan Silvia. I changed only steer reaction and now my car reacts quickly. That's it.
Physics of game world is ok. You can destroy: benches, bins, small fences etc. and your car can have a tiny damage (scratches, dirt).
Unfortunately police interceptors and AI cars are not fully destructable, but the damages are visible.

Bugs

The issue that discouraged me from buying this game was the large number of bugs (according to the community).
I was very reluctant to buy because I heard about the disappearing map, unstable servers, cars jumping out of the air, etc.
I finally got the product and I can say that the community is wrong. I only had one problem with this game.
Namely, I often couldn't exit the car editor despite pressing a command on the keyboard. Only after several attempts was it possible to leave it. And I only had this error, others, in my edition of the game don't exist.

Overall

Need for Speed 2015 is a very nice return to the old school, underground style of racing games.
It gives you a great looking graphics to this date, fancy (but in small amount) cars, superb underground atmosphere and an amazing customization possibilities.
Despite of not the best soundtrack and some minor errors I highly recommend this game. It's way better than Payback and other new era NFS-s.

Introduction

Previously Next Car Game. Now Wreckfest. It was created by Bugbear Entertainment studio from Finland, creators of divine FlatOut series!
Back in the day it was the most enjoyable, beautiful and advanced in terms of physics racing game (it still looks great). Along with Trackmania and TDU it was the best game which I played.

Opponents, game mechanics

Let's be honest Wreckfest it's a fantastic return to the roots of old school destruction racing style!
The conception is subtle different because we don't have eight opponents with individual character but a random opponents with I suppose, auto generated names like: Maybe etc. It's ok, I'm not delighted with that because drivers in FlatOut: Jack Benton, Tania Graham, Sofia Martinez made this game more interesting but the drivers in Wreckfest are aggresive in the same way as in Flatout and gives you frustration, so it's good. :)
They're aggresive and the amount of them has changed drastically. You can choose between 1 to 24 opponents! They drive like crazy or drunk sometimes and quite often you can see them on the tree not on the track. ;)
Nonetheless be careful because the opponents can give you a nice t-bone and that can ruin whole your effort on tha last lap. I experienced that many times!
In Wreckfest we have 2 categories: destruction racing and destruction derby! It's old school style, nothing has changed in this aspect.

Cars

Let's move on to vehicles. Amazing machines! At the beginning they're rusty, with patch work but when you climb on the ladder of the career you will have a nice looking machines with windows, chromes etc.
Cars can be finally tuning visually. You can change not only the skin but the bonnet, spoiler, rims, tyres, exhausts and add some sick bullbars, shields and a lot of more! But remember! Adding more heavy stuff will slow your machine. So be reasonable in it.

Tracks

Racing tracks in Wreckfest are memory familliar for me but they're not the same. I miss especially snowy tracks from FlatOut and those village locations. Amount of racing tracks in Wreckfest is fair enough, not perfect but acceptable.

Visuals

Graphics in this game is beautiful! Lighting looks natural, shadows are sharp, vegetation looks great. Down below I'm attaching my presentation of shots. I love we have a photo mode but I hope in the near future we can expect some more features like filters, gamma etc.? ;)

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2522296114

Soundtrack

Now let's talk about music. It's the weakest point of this game. Soundtrack from both Flatout 1 and 2 is legendary, the best from all games! But in the newest product of Bugbear that aspect was neglected. It's enjoyable music but the perfection of Flatout soundtrack and also the amount of songs was not accomplished in my opinion.

Multiplayer problem

Another thing which is problematic is multiplayer mode. Unfortunately quite often I had many problems with servers: black screen, friend can't invite me to the match and I can't too... I hope that they will improve these things someday.

Overall

Nevertheless amidst those small flaws it's a superb product!
I forgot about one thing. You can buy a lot of DLC's for this game and it's really worth the purchase!
Also for the end I will say about tournaments which are very cool and I'm so happy about unity with Carmageddon! Great work, gentlemen! It was a fantastic tournament!
Thank you so much!

METRO EXODUS: Sam's Story

In this DLC we have an opportunity to take the role of american commando, which came straight to Vladiwostok. In difference from Artyom, Sam speaks a lot. His mission is simple. He wants come back to his homeland, to Sandiego city. But it will be not a piece of cake... To let his dream true he needs acomplished some of missions at the first place. Vladiwostok unfortunately isn't looks like from postcards. Alike every terrain in game, it's hugely devastated by nuclear missile. That means we can observe only ruins, collapse buildings, rusty abandoned cars etc. Moreover, because of mutation from radiation we will take a fight with the same creatures from basic game, but don't worry about lack of new beasts, they will appear later. The city itself is a calamity but the authors created city well because we will always found our final destiation on the map. The city structure is not repetitive, assets looks like a completely new thing. At least for me. This DLC has a quite long story. Reserve approximately 4-5 hours for this, according you're experienced enough of course and you have a lot of space on system C. From the last thing depend that make sure your saves will be not broken or deleted. ;) Sam's Story storyline... seems like action movie. It's cool. It's postapocalyptic game, it should be sad but it has some funny moments which make me laugh. At this moment too. Mechanics of the game is not different. There is the same realistic reloading, weapon feeling, just great! In my Metro Exodus review I forgot to write about splendidness of voice acting. It's worth to mention! The work of those people and effort on casting actors is just wonderful. And mouth seems to open and close perfectly along with voices, well done! Does this DLC have some flaws? Hm, only some minor bugs, not important at all. The head which pass through coat when rotating and eternally full cup of tea. :) In general, I highly recommend this DLC. Honestly I was surprised it's pricy but it's a great fun in completely new environment. It's worth the purchase!

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter Redux

A remarkable journey with stunning visuals

At first I admit I bought this game mainly for visual aspects. I've expected a walking simulator, with detective investigation in beautiful scenery but with a hackneyed storyline. While I got the game where I have an interesting plot, what's more, there is puzzle elements which are tricky. I don't like spoilers so I will not talk about those more clearly. :)
Let's move on to the game world.
It's wonderful and it's very familliar place because I used to visit this location a lot of times! (It's a real location in Poland!)
Mountains and lovely streams during early autumn looks like in real life, and this is due to photogrammetry technique.
Truly, years passed and this game still looks gorgeous, but if you're not satisfied try to use reshade setup for better experience.
Now game mechanics.
You're a detective your name is Paul Prospero and the game is not hasting you. You can choose your own pace.
When I began with this game I didn't move forward because I was taking screenshots.
After long time I returned and I finished this game in my own pace.
Your character doesn't have any tools, like a torch or map. The main designer didn't equip the character with those.
And that's a good turn because we feel anxiety all the time, you're alone.
Personally this game giving me shivers... great atmosphere here like in Conarium!
There is a lot of notes which are significant to understand the whole story and there are puzzles, as I mentioned it before.
Well, I don't like spoilers but I will say a little about puzzles... I needed a walkthrough, they're not easy. ;) Especially in the mine.
For the end my favourite theme, music. The composer Mikołaj Stroiński did a good work here! Buy this game with soundtrack because is not cheesy and dull.
In general. It's a very good game, kind of art, this game is definitely artistic in the whole sense of meaning. I highly recommend.

METRO EXODUS

Introduction

When I first saw a transmission from E3 I was truly amazed about how 4A games got a revolution.
Honestly, Metro series is eminent in one aspect...it's survival atmosphere. Maybe that's why it's my only one FPS which I like. I love survival games! Frequently I watched materials and read news about this product and bum! information about exclusivity for Epic Games has tarnished my enthusiasm a lot. How dare they are to do that?
Fortunately after not a long time we have now it on steam which from I'm happy for. Thank to God for it!

Graphics

I played with ACR contrast on, and that was resplendent experience. Dimming and brightening the screen made it even more immersive than in the usual layout. Game has a wonderful graphics your eyes will fall out from your sockets. That's that beautiful!
From my point of view the Taiga is the location where it can be noticeable the most: great
foliage quality, water and basic textures on general makes this game perfect for
taking screens!

Story

There is the same man, Artyom from previous Metro games. He can't speak and somebody says he's sluggish in the game because of reloading but I can't agree with that. Personally I like the pace of main character, it seems to be realistic. :)
Our journey is very nicely created and addictive. There is a lot of Orthodox faith motives which is very nice there is no satanism and other stupid ideology. Usually in games we have a dozen of cutscenes, which are truly insipid and boring. Whilst the Metro Exodus cutscenes are simply top notch, and I'm not exaggerating in this matter. I've completed the whole game without skipping these scenes, that's the proof. For some reason we can soak easily to this world. There is story about love, and about the eternal struggle between good and evil. Alike in every movie.

Game mechanics

Finally somebody from 4A has decided to not giving the currency and money to the game. I didn't play the previous ones a lot but that was so irritating and occure I stucked in those games.
In Metro Exodus we have a different way: kill the opponent, grab the weapon and customize it in the workshop. And that's great.
Artyom has own equipment in backpack.
The animation of taking the backpack off and opening it's such a gem! I love it so much!

Opponents

Playing on normal difficulty was not that easy and it was a little frustrating when shooting in the head can't defeat your aim. Opponents are smart and on normal difficulty level they're fast in actions too, sometimes or very often you need waste a lot of munition on them. In this game I didn't notice any glitches with behaviour of our enemies. Just what I can say as a flaw is that faces of those are a little bit repetitive. ;)

Sounds and music

Let's start from the musical aspect. Alexey Omelchuk is a good composer and I admit that those pieces are well written. They are gloomy and beautiful at the same time. They are just fits perfectly to the game world.
You know why this game is so immersive? Because it has awesome sounds! You will be unite with this game, only if you have a good audio system. I can't imagine how people can play those kind of games on poor speakers. :) For that kind of sounds it's just waste of time.

EXODUS

To sum it up. It's a superb game: lovely graphics, fantastic audio and good music. The price is high but I recommend this product with all my heart.

PL:

Śmiało mogę stwierdzić, że to najlepszy zakup. Jest to gra, która zachwyca wizualnie i dźwiękowo.
Osobiście wprost uwielbiam tę potężną symfonię silników V8, ale moi sąsiedzi jej nie cierpią. Ich problem.
Każda minuta za kierownicą daje prawdziwą dozę radości! Ustawiając ją odpowiednio poczujesz każde szarpnięcie, nierówność, przeciążenie, musisz być silny! Tak jak to wygląda w dobrej symulacji.
To co zasługuje na wspomnienie to usprawniona reakcja kontrolera na warunki atmosferyczne, nie jedziemy jak po sznurku tylko dbamy o to żeby nie wypaść z trasy.
Skoro mówimy o pogodzie. Wszystko dostosujemy! Może być słonecznie, pochmurnie i... tego jeszcze nie było! spodziewajcie się śnieżycy. Również występują pory roku!
Fani motorsportu mają tu czego szukać. Z dodatkami mamy do dyspozycji blisko 190 pojazdów, każdy jest inny i to naprawdę można odczuć.
Przykładowo: Jaguar XJR-9 prowadzi się wyśmienicie, ale jego odpowiednik LM jest cięższy i co za tym idzie, bardziej toporny w prowadzeniu. Świetna robota panowie!
Opcji wyścigowych jest tu co nie miara. Istnieje inżynier wyścigowy, który czasami lubi się wypowiedzieć co robicie nie tak i schemat konfiguracyjny, w którym zmienicie np. balans hamulców, czy siłę docisku.
Jak to zwykle bywa zaczynamy jako kierowca formuły Rookie, aby później wspinać się po szczeblach kariery.
Tryb kariery jest świetnie zrealizowany. Cele życiowe, od zera do bohatera, wyścigi zaproszeniowe, producentów, specjalne. Bosko!
Przeciwnicy są miłym zaskoczeniem, bo ich zachowanie zostało mocno usprawnione, tak samo jak system kolizji.
Uderzając w przeciwnika w końcu nie odbijam się od niego (chyba że prowadzę pojazd klasy Rookie) a AI potrafi jeździć szybko i agresywnie.
Pamiętam jak narzekałem na tryb fotografii w pierwszej edycji Project CARS, głównie chodziło o ramki i strzałkę edytora, która przeszkadza.
Jednakże tutaj nie ma takiego problemu, uwielbiam ten edytor! Tak piękna grafika jak w niniejszej grze zasługuje na codzienne uchwycanie naszych wypadów na torze. Polecam wszystkim artystom, screenshoterom.
Rozpłynąłem się, ale ten produkt ma jeden minus, tryb multiplayer.
Perspektywa pogrania sobie ze znajomymi jest świetna, ale tylko wtedy gdy mamy mecz na hasło. W przeciwnym razie rozgrywkę zniszczą nam kierowcy, którzy delikatnie mówiąc jeździć nie umieją.
Pierwszy wyścig online na Silverstone GP i od razu karambol na 11 wozów.
Oczywiście czasami zdarzą się glitche przez słabe pingi, ale myślę że nie w tym rzecz.
Jeżeli chcesz sobie pograć w sieci, to musisz uzbroić się w cierpliwość. Nawet w pojedynku 1 vs 1 gracz strasznie długo zwleka z zaakceptowaniem wyścigu. Coś okropnego.
Mimo wszystko, Project CARS 2 to majstersztyk w świecie gier wyścigowych.
Jeżeli pragniesz odczuć prawdziwą radość z jazdy, atmosferę wyścigów, to jest to gra dla Ciebie!

Zalety:

Przepiękna grafika
Tryb kariery
Samochody (2 najznamienitsze marki: Ferrari i Porsche)
Dynamiczna pogoda i progresja czasu
Pory roku
Inżynieria wyścigowa
Tory
Poczucie symulacji
Edytor zdjęć
Intuicyjne menu i fajna muzyka
Udźwiękowienie
Wydajność

Wady:

Cóż, ludzie w trybie multiplayer.

EN:

Boldly I can state that it is the best buy. It is game which is enrapturing visually and sonically. Personally directly I adore this huge symphony of V8 engines, but my neighbours hate it. Their problem.
Every minute behind the wheel is giving the real dose of enjoyment!
Setting the steering wheel appropriately you will feel every pulling, ineqality, surcharge, you must be strong! That's how it looks in good simulation!
What is deserving at the mention is a streamlined reaction of the controller to weather conditions. Apropos we are talking about the weather.
We will adapt everything! It can be sunny, cloudy and... it's a surprise! expect the blizzard. Seasons are also appearing!
Fans of motorsport have here something to search. With DLC-s we have nearly 190 vehicles available, every machine is different and really it is possible to feel it.
For example: the XJR-9 Jaguar is leading delicious itself, but his equivalent LM is heavier and what that means , clunky in driving. Splendid work, gentlemen!
There are plenty of racing options here.
There is a race engineer who sometimes likes to say what you are doing wrong and a configuration diagram in which you can change, for example, brake balance or downforce.
As it usually happens, we start as a Rookie formula driver and then climb the career ladder. The career mode is great. Life goals, zero to hero, invitation races, producers, specials. Divinely!
The opponents are a pleasant surprise, because their behaviour has been greatly improved, as has the collision system.
When hitting an opponent, I finally don't bounce off him (unless I'm driving a Rookie) and the AI ​​can drive fast and aggressively.
I remember complaining about the photography mode in the first edition of Project CARS, mostly it was about the frames and the editor arrow, which is disturbing.
However, there is no such a problem here, I love this editor!
Graphics as beautiful as in this game deserve to capture our daily excursions on the track. I recommend it to all artists and screenshoters.
I melted but this product has one drawback. The multiplayer mode.
The perspective of playing with friends is great, but only if we have a password match. Otherwise, the game will be destroyed by drivers who, to put it mildly, cannot drive.
The first online race at the Silverstone GP and immediately a collision with 11 cars.
Of course, glitches are sometimes caused by poor pings, but I don't think that's the case.
If you want to play online, you have to be patient. Even in a 1 vs 1 duel, the player takes a long time to accept the race. Something terrible.
Nevertheless for me, despite of an annoying MP Project CARS 2 is a masterpiece in the world of racing games. If you want to feel the real joy of driving, the atmosphere of racing, it's the game for you!

Advantages:

Graphics
Career
Cars (2 great brands: Ferrari and Porsche)
Dynamic weather and time progression
Seasons
Racing and enginery options
Tracks
Simulation feeling
Very nice menu and cool music
Photo editor
Sounds
Performance

Drawbacks:

Well, people in multiplayer.

I'm not a fan of this kind of games but I received a 90% coupon so I gave it a try. Nice game, especially for that price. :)
It's childish and has I guess chillout soundtrack but it's great for achievement hunters and collectors. I liked it also from the reason you can improve your typing skills too. Moreover there is a system which juxtapose your results with other gamers ( It's a nice feature) Overall I recommend this product but not for a full price. It will be better if you will wait for an occasion. ;)

+ Great for collectors
+ Improves your typing speed.
+ 303 achievements to earn!
+ Very light.
+ Cool emoticons!

- Childish.
- Music.

Wonderful game! Graphics is enchanting. I love strolls in the forest and here is everything what I love in them: tall trees, rocks, wonderful sun reflections etc. Further more we have a relaxing and soothing music in that journey, which has a turkish vibe. I really recommend this game. I'm glad this forest is not that small so we can spend some time on capturing our screenshots! Looking forward to buy more games by Tonguç Bodur!

Advantages:

Graphics.
Soothing music.
It's relaxing.
Story.

Drawbacks:

MAD MAX

Intoduction

I watched all MAD MAX films, many times. They're all great but simply the best is The Road Warrior, my eyes are sticked to the screen when I watch it. It amazes me how this film is timeless till these days. How easily I'm soaking this world. This is an awesome experience and I feel completely the same thing with MAD MAX the game!

The plot

It not looks like that as I thought, I will be in completely the same situation like Max Rockatansky. It's a different story. We have Max in desolate world, that's correct but there are completely new characters and to be honest all is different beside the nasty environment and cars. But it makes the game bad? Not at all!

Game world

It's huge and amazing! I can really feel the atmosphere like in the movie because we have: desert landscape filled with screams of anguish, smouldered with flames of wrecks! Mutated, scrawny or pumped characters, sandstorms* (Fury Road*). That's how should it looks! In general this world is filled with decadence and lack of compassion. The game gives those elements perfectly. In this game you can do a lot of activities: quests, side-quests and... death races. There is plenty of them!

Graphics

Top notch looking! It's a great joy to drive on this barren land. I enjoy the sunsets which looks here great. Skybox looks amazingly well, clouds has a good quality textures, chromium parts are shiny not matt. I attached my shots down below to give a presentation of graphics potential of this game. I'm glad the main designers included photo mode, this tool gives you
great possibilities! You can activate it by using X+C combination. Graphics is superb!

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2538055191
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2532740725

Opponents

They're mutated and haggard but completely different from the movie. You will take a fight with warriors of Scrotus not Hummungus and also with formation of jackals. There is a lot of them in the camps and on the whole map. Scrotus warriors are a big anguish especially on the beginning when you try to equip Max with skills, shields and weapons. Afterwards it's much easier to defeat them but beware because they're aggresive, especially in big groups they're not that easy to kill. Jackals are very dangerous for you too, even more because of spikes on their cars which can cause a huge damage on your Magnum Opus. In general AI is very nice but sometimes opponents can stuck for a moment in some places which can irritate you a bit. :)

Game mechanics

I usually don't like action games and their fight system but MAD MAX has a well thought style of it. It's my taste! Cut scenes during the killing with knife are nicely done, same thing about bosses. Max has a skills tree which you can develop in local clairvoyant called Griffa. Inter alia we have: fuel finding skill, perseverance skill, more food finding skill, finding munition skill etc. You can also equip Max with new accessories like castet, shot gun or armour. The main currency is scrap for which you can buy a lot of things to your mighty vehicle.


Sounds and music

Not many music pieces here but the sounds are splendid! Engines roaring is something which I love in this game, screams and bursting flames sounds amazing also. Sandstorm sounds effects are very well done too. Just you feel all those things overwhelming you. Great work!

Overall impression

I highly recommend this product for all fans of MAD MAX world. It's a different story, new characters but it's really enjoyable to play in this environment! Buy it with a full price because it's a fantastic game!

Od samego początku wzmianki o Distance napawały mnie niesamowitym entuzjazmem. Oglądając pierwsze zrzuty ekranu uznałem, że to gra o naprawdę wysokim potencjale. Minęło trochę czasu i zdecydowałem się na zakup. To była świetna decyzja! Uniwersum gry przenosi nas w bliżej nieokreśloną przyszłość, trasy są usiane różnego rodzaju pułapkami: lasery, najeżone kule, rozdrabniarki etc. Naszym zadaniem jest przejechanie danego etapu w jak najszybszym czasie, co oczywiście w miarę postępów gracza nie jest łatwym zadaniem. Do dyspozycji mamy tylko jeden futurystyczny pojazd, gdzie przeróbce może być poddany jedynie lakier. Nasz wehikuł rozwija bardzo wysokie prędkości i jest bardzo stabilny na torze, przez co gracz posiada dużą kontrolę nad pojazdem. A o wypadek nietrudno! W kwestii wizualnej Distance prezentuje się znakomicie! Utrzymana futurystyczna stylistyka jest czymś co naprawdę cieszy oko! Dbałość o detale: refleksy, lasery, eksplozje. Wszystko wygląda fantastycznie! Przejdźmy do kolejnego elementu, a mianowicie trybów rozrgrywki. Zasadniczo istnieją dwa tryby. Kampania główna to pokonywanie tras zaś tryb Arcade umożliwia branie udziału w różnych wyzwaniach (głównie wykonywanie karkołomnych ewolucji lub wykonywanie sprintu na danym etapie) Kolejnym elementem omawianego przeze mnie produktu jest społeczność. Istnieje tryb wieloosobowy a także bardzo pokaźny warsztat. Także, jeżeli przeszliśmy całą grę i się nudzimy, to bez problemu możemy pobrać nowe, jeszcze bardziej zwariowane trasy. Na koniec muzyka. Jest ona dynamiczna, elektroniczna co bardzo dobrze współgra ze światem gry i pozwala nam na większe skupienie podczas pokonywania tras. W sumie kapitalna gra!
