FORZA HORIZON 4

http://www.forzamotorsport.net

Some car games don’t have a

button dedicated to rewinding time.

They make you drive around Laguna

Seca and, when you crash on that

downhill corkscrew bit, force you to

just live with it. Screw that. I don’t

want to deal with the consequences

of my mistakes. Give me a rewind

button. Give meForza Horizon 4.

In 2016, professional wrestler-

slash-Assassin’s Creedtribute act

Will Ospreay tweeted of one of his

signature moves, “You just need to

accept that you live in this world. A

worldwhereamoveiscalled a

‘CheekyNandosKick’.”Ithink about

that tweet a lot for some reason. This

asurrealmusicalhotel.Atleast,I

loved the 30 minutes that I played

before being distracted – probably

by ice cream and, soon afterwards,

cream. I’ve put this here to guilt trip

myself into playing more of it before

this issue goes on sale.

should keep politics out of games,

sequel, features Ray Wise as the US

KATAMARI DAMACY REROLL

You, a small thing, roll your ball

over crayons and propane tanks and

schoolboys and dried kelp and dairy

cows and marmalade and fiddler

crabs and cabbage. The ball gets

bigger. The bouncy music suggests

that its victims are ultimately

accepting of their fate. They are part

of the ball now. They can finally rest.

I still haven’t found time to check

out Yo ku’s Isl a n d E x p re s s, a pinball

platformer that seems to have

delighted friends, colleagues and

casual Twitter follows. But the thing

about this page is I can put any game

on it and nobody has the power to

stop me. So here: a recommendation

for Sonic Spinball. Deal with it.
