A charming game with goofy cutscenes and unique game mechanic of spin driving That was a fun experience

Some devs want their game to stand out in their field, y'know do something never been done before. Hard to do in the land of Steam but by Jove they did it! Erk, careful what you wish for,,,,, :) Its basically a 2.5D platform puzzler when you drive around in a limousine fulfilling ever harder tasks and meeting people as you go, with excellently hammy real film cut-scenes progressing the story. Apart from the main storyline there are collectables, side missions and mini-game challenges, all of which give a completion rating you can compare within the game against your Steam friends. So far, so normal (and good.) There's a smart, purposefully contrived B-movie style to the story and narrative which had me laugh a few times. The game feels very well thought-out and consolidated - the graphics and sound fit just right, progression is nicely balanced with perks and upgrades occurring throughout, it's very playable and more-ish. The game will take around 6 hours to complete the main story and probably at least triple that to 100% so there's plenty of content for your low price. So what IS that USP, that little unique factor, that magical je ne sais quoi the devs deployed, you ask? Well, erm...you see.... the limousine in question is constantly rotating. Yes swapping ends in a big circle as it moves in the direction you're aiming for. And physics cried. This is incredibly hard to get used to at first and sems to make no sense at all. In fact you should really have a look at a video for this game before buying, I'm willing to bet the whole proposition would bake some people's noodle just too far to even continue playing. BUT if you do, after a short while you do get it, and then the magic happens. You see how the open world has been so meticulously designed to make every curve and intersection a puzzle to solve as you gyrate wildly, and the perks and power ups you learn add extra layers making collectables more achievable (weirdly this element reminds me of We ❤️Katamari games. In the end I loved it but it was exhausting and as I said probably not for everyone. And one last warning, this is not a game to be played for achievement hunting, some of them will demand extreme commitment, so consider yourselves warned!
