Buggy Game (2022) - Every PC Rally Game
3Buggy Game by Properly Decent, 2022.
At first appearance this is a buggy racing game, but it's advertised as "retro rally racing with a simulation twist", and the cars are called things like Subari GTI and Fort Pumi, so... it's worth a look!
Pitched as more than a basic arcade racer, this simulates full weigh transfer with numerous driving aids like traction control, stability control, etc. Switch them all off and you'll face quite a stiff challenge - which you will anyway, as you start last and the computer controlled cars are pretty good! You can also wreck out of a race should you accrue too much damage.
The soundtrack (off here) is more drum & bass style. The graphics are basic but interesting; the hexagonal shape of trackside scenery reminds me of those boardgames where you knock out ice blocks to make a penguin fall down!
