Because of the keyboard game mechanic, Event employs a rather odd movement mechanic where you use the mouse to not only control your direction laterally but forwards and backwards as well.

Employing the driving aids available sucks the joy out of the game and I’d rather play Mario Kart or Road Rash if I have to resort to such an arcade mode.

75 / 100 - Phantaruk
Aug 24, 2016

Phantaruk is a solid game that makes a great first impression but like that annoying party guest that does not know when to leave, the longer the game goes on the less terrifying it becomes.

88 / 100 - Broforce
Nov 10, 2015
