Rewrite this title for a blog post. Remove any site names from it The title is: After more than 10 years without a new opus, this series of racing games returns to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series!

Fun arcade gameplay

As in all self-respecting racing games, it is the driving that interests us first and foremost. And in Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crownthis aspect finds a good middle ground between Simulation and Arcade. Quite flexible, the gameplay is permissive and does not penalize the player for the slightest error. Even with all the assists turned off and driving powerful, cranky vehicles, the game doesn't feel punishing.

When playing with a steering wheel, the sensations are good and the force feedback is pleasant and well-measured. Just like the gear changes, which are also fluid and natural. What is lacking, however, are the first-person animations. Our character barely moves his hands on the steering wheel, even when steering or counter-steering to the extreme. A flaw that inevitably spoils the immersion, forcing some to change cameras.

Great cars to maneuver

Another important point, the different car models in the game are quite successful. This demo allowed us to see more than one, and each time, the silhouettes and their reproduction were intended to be faithful to the original. Precious vehicles, what's more, because the title's almost RPG system pushes us to get attached to our cars. When a new car is obtained, You will have to drive it for hours to improve it to the maximum before passing for another. A pleasant progression, which forces you to really invest if you want to increase the horses under the hood.

Finally, the game is developed by the French studio KT Racing and published by Nacon. Already available for pre-order for the price of €49.99, the title is scheduled for September 12, 2024 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
