Defunct Games reviews Art of Rally by Funselektor Labs, available September 23 on PC, Mac and Linux.
Don't let the simple graphics and overhead perspective fool you, because Art of Rally is one of the best and most robust racing games of the year. This is a stylish and expertly-crafted love letter to the early days of rally racing, and Funselektor Labs' enthusiasm for the history is truly infectious. Sure, the single-player events can feel a bit lonely at times and the gradual speed increase is barely noticeable, but Art of Rally is the kind of throwback racing game that reminds you of the good old days without feeling outdated. This is a real treat.
