It will also be available on consoles soon, including the Switch, so it might be a better choice there… controllers being part of the bargain. That said, it is a very nice, stylized racing game. However, it really needs a controller to play it, so I am going to try and dig out the one I have for my PC before I pass judgement on it beyond the fact that you shouldn’t bother with just keyboard and mouse. This is a cool little game set in the golden age of rally racing in the 60s and 70s. I was able to achieve some serious “in the zone” time with it and the TRON: Legacy sound track. It also happened to coincide with me starting up on the whole immersion topic when I was making a mental list of games I missed and Need for Speed: World popped into my head. This came up as part of a post on Ars Technica about the best titles in the Steam summer sale for under $25. My initial game, Attractive Nuisance, would tend to suggest that the title of the game perhaps ought to be WoW Clone Tycoon, but I haven’t dived into hard mode yet, which is launching a free to play game with monetization fun to deal with.

It is in early access and wasn’t even on sale, but seemed meta enough to take a shot at. I mentioned this in the June month in review post already, but Lum was playing this and posting about it on Twitter. Though, to be fair to Steam and its sale, I did not purchase anything that was on my wishlist or anything that they were pushing at me during the sale. So it is probably a bit of a surprise that I actually bought a few games during the sale. Steam puts things on my wishlist on sale as often as Safeway discounts canned corn, and both generate about the same level of excitement these days. My enthusiasm for the sale was at pretty low ebb, as it has been for a few years now.
