In the case of an open bicycle game with a low rate, Wheel World has a lot of knowledge. You wake up in the forest and discover a ghost named Skully, a ghost who offers a rusty bike to the player and immediately throws out so much fantasy jargon and an overloaded story that I began to think that this is a purposeful goal. Thank you COG (God’s cycling) that leredumping is not habitual. The rest of the game takes place as a nippy and elated race in a diminutive, but well -made world of rolling vineyards, bumpy forests and city streets. This is a compact trip that lasts only about five hours, but it is five hours of nicely pedaled.
Your task is to find bicycle thieves who escaped with the magic bicycle parts of Skully – its wild wheels and arcane steering wheel. It is told that there are deep cosmic consequences if you cannot regain them, but it is mainly an excuse to explore the diminutive open world of turning roads in search of racing events. Along the way there are many colorful people, and each dialogue becomes much more relaxed and digestible than the initial gust of bicycle mythology. Standers talk idly about bicycle parts or local interference, all with plentiful bicycle slang. You will slip next to the gangs of cyclists, and the garbage talk about the race, fighting with wine connoisseurs through rows of grapes and corporate sales teams through the industrial wilderness.
The races themselves are elegant and balanced, with a sense of mass of the motorcycle, especially on wide turns. Driving after another cyclist to enter your Slipstream and accelerate, and at the same time easily loading your magic top -up bar. Many songs include insidious abbreviations outside the road or ramps, which can be packaged with a joystick, and although there are no flashy tricks, capture of air or narrow avoidance of cars and trucks also take your reinforcement. Decorement and you are back on the course with a refreshing swift reset.
Entering these Slipstream is useful for climbing, but it is also critical to know when you storm – the rival can easily exploit the same tactics. I usually strategically saved my growth on the last sprint. I believe that real cyclists at the athlete level are doing when they are not busy taking steroids.
You are awarded “Rep”, an elevated thumb currency that you need to count to face the rivals at the boss’s level who stole the magical parts of Buddy. Guzzler beer in one city can only require 12 representatives before he accepts your challenge, but the Moustachioed master in Big City needs 40 representatives, and the last boss will require much more. In the meantime, you meet with parts of winning standard races or found in shiny boxes sprinkled on the ground, as if thrown into a ditch and marked by Evri drivers.
These parts change the statistics of your bike. Increasing “power”, for example, gives a better pushing speed uphill, while “Aero” makes driving more active at conventions. I found myself in minimal effort to get a versatile bike, just because I can’t exchange parts for each race. This is an option for anyone who cares for height maps or wants to raise their “service” statistics especially for the race that is winding. But I decided that it passes from race to race so quickly that it was better to have one solid lifts. Racing games relate to the state of flow, about remaining in motion, and in particular this kind of arkadey open in the world often best to enjoy as much travel as possible to the menu.
So yes He puts on many fields for what I like at the racing. His cartoon presentation of CEL-SHADS also brings to mind the radiant skating of Olla Olla World. It’s stupid and humorous, not trying too much. Take, for example, John, which invented a swift travel system using Portapotties to exploit the mystical and hazardous “ghost sewage system”. He said you shouldn’t mess with it. “Yes, well, I’m an entrepreneur,” he says, hammering the toilet. “I am disturbed.”
This helps that all this color is accompanied by sanguine and hopeful Mellow synth soundtrack The Italian Portland labels do it better. It is impossible to feel stress in this game. Last week, everyone in Games Media celebrated the remake of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 as a great device for discovering music. I see and raise you World World soundtrack.
However, along with this extremely nippy Demanour there is a noticeable lack of a real challenge. A well -balanced cycle and cautious corners will basically win every race, arduous moments usually presented only by colliding with randomly passing traffic on an critical corner or raised by a rival while passing. Sometimes cultivating game physics can also lead to a few anniversary (or act in your favor, because the rivals bounce into the sky or stick vertically on the wall like the affected Zoomies Calico up the reference rooms).
With the exception, it is not arduous to overcome, and you will collect a representative and coupons needed to reach the end faster than the French Roadster with a yellow coat. This may discourage several self -proclaimers, but such a concise does not bother me. In my life there is a lot of space for a racing game through which you can go from all the friction of the summer breeze. I turned my teeth enough on JDM: Japanese Master Drift last month – a racing game that was good for its own arduous reasons, but listen, I deserve an effortless win.
Bonkers bicycle among you can compare it more accurately with the Descenders or Lonely Mountains: Downhill series. Go ahead, I didn’t play enough to know. It is more fun to think about Wheel World with the season of the game on the way to travel from 2023: a letter to the future, which made it on a bike around a diminutive, but detailed world in a similar style. But although the season was an emotional story about memory and changes, taking into account the wheels and the camera, Wheel World is much more Bubblebum and Loyal.
Some game designs are even approaching Ubisoftian – you activate special temples to reveal the map, diminutive icons presenting quickly to scoring and cleaning, then you can go towards one to start the “side concert” for the corporate drone (discover five hidden jumps, etc.). But then he redeemed in other ways: you can, for example, initiate races by riding a bike behind the rider and just taking care of them bell, which reminds me of a paradise of burn out paradise. If Raj Burnout were a country of pressure and affable ghosts instead of – UGH – DJ Atomika.
This is far from the previous works of Mesgof – the incomparable Nidhogg remains one of the best combat games of all time. I admit that it is a bit strange to set sweet and ultimately harmless Roamaround World races next to the growing energy and electro fury of the fence worm and its serpentine continuation. But this redefining of the studio style seems inevitable when he goes beyond his origin – Meshof was a nickname for solo programmer Marek Essen, but now there is the name of his wider independent studio of many Messhoffs. If you want to expect something similar to Nidhogg in a tone, atmosphere and surrealization, you will find only trace amounts. But if you enter with a heart open to separate races and good music, Wheel World will quickly lead you.
